History

The final of the League Cup was played in Cardiff with the stadium's roof closed: the first domestic final played under cover.

The FA Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea was the fifth all-London final.

Arsenal became the second club to complete the League and FA Cup double three times. They became the first club since 1889 to complete a season without a defeat away from home and the first Top Division club to score in every League match. Arsenal also equalled the record of 13 consecutive wins in the Top Division.

Ipswich Town were relegated and also qualified for the UEFA Cup because of their disciplinary record.

A new rule allowed goalkeepers to run with the ball as long as they release it before 6 seconds.
