History

Liverpool retained the League Championship and the League Cup.

Manchester United became the second club to reach both domestic cup finals.

Brighton and Hove Albion reach the FA Cup final and are relegated.

Arsenal equalled the record of Sunderland in 1958 by completing 57 consecutive seasons in the Top Division.

Swansea City qualified for Europe by winning the Welsh Cup.

Watford finish second in their first ever season in the top division.

A change to the financial rules occurs: Top Division clubs are allowed to keep all their gate receipts in league matches instead of sharing them with their opponents. This will lead to a widening of the gap between rich and poor clubs.
