How Much of Premier League Records Do You Know?
There are lots of historic records in the EPL of which I cannot enumerate all. So, I'll try to highlight just a few of them. I hope you find them interesting and insightful.
Let's begin with the team to score the most goals in an EPL season. It might interest you to know that so far, Manchester City set the record of netting the most Premier League goals scored in a season. City scored a whopping 106 goals in the 2017/2018 season. This happened in the time of Pep Guardiola.
Contrary, Derby County and Sheffield United are the two teams with the fewest Premier League goals scored in a season. Both Derby County and Sheffield United scored only 20 goals in a full season and this was in 2007/2008 and 2020/2021 respectively.
Still on goals, Chelsea is the only team with the most Premier League goals scored at home in a season. The Blues netted 68 home goals in the 2009/2010 EPL season. While Liverpool FC holds the record of netting the most away goals in a season. In 2013/2014, the Reds scored 48 away goals in that season.
Then the team with the fewest Premier League goals scored at home in a season is Fulham. They scored only 9 home goals during the 2020/2021 season. In the same vein, the team with the fewest Premier League away goals in a season is no other than Norwich City. They were able to score only 7 away goals in the 2019/2020 EPL season.
In the 1993/1994 season when 42 matches were being played in the premier league, Swindon Town conceded 100 goals. This happens to be the most Premier League goals conceded in a season. During the 38 matches era, Derby County has conceded the most goals in a season. They conceded 89 goals in 38 matches in 2007/2008.
On the other hand, Chelsea holds the record for the fewest Premier League goals conceded in a season. In the 2004/2005 season, the Blues conceded only 15 goals. Very impressive.
Did you know that Manchester City had a +79 goal difference in the 2017/2018 season? This is the best Premier League goal difference in a season so far. Did you also know that Derby County had a goal difference of -69 in the 2007/ 2008 season? Worst goal difference so far.
Speaking of clean sheets, Chelsea had 25 clean sheets in 2004/2005. This is the most Premier League clean sheet in a season. While the clubs with the fewest Premier League clean sheets (only 3) in a season are - Birmingham City (2007/08), Derby County (2007/08), Blackburn Rovers (2011/12), and Norwich City (2011/12)
Most Premier League draws in a season: Manchester City played 18 draw games in 42 matches in 1993/1994. Sheffield United played 18 draw games in 1993/1994. Likewise, Southampton played 18 draw games in 1994/1995. In the days of 38 total matches in the EPL, the highest draws have been played by Newcastle United (17 draws in 2003/2004). Also, Aston Villa played 17 draws in the 2006/2007 and 2011/2012 seasons. Likewise, Sunderland played 17 draws in 2014/2015.
Fewest Premier League draws in a season: Manchester City (2018/19), Tottenham Hotspur (2018/19), and Sheffield United (2020/21) all played only 2 draw games in the highlighted seasons.
Remarkably, Manchester City in the 2017/2018 season finished the league with 100 points. So far, it is the most Premier League point in a season. While the fewest Premier League points in a season was seen in 2007/2008, when Derby County finished the league with 11 points.
Still to note is that Liverpool FC is the team with the most Premier Liverpool points in a season without winning the title. Painfully, the Reds finished the 2018/2019 league season with 97 points but came second. Manchester City won the league that year with a one-point difference.
But in the same EPL, Manchester United won the premier league with just 75 points. This happened in 1996/1997 and so far, it is the lowest point in a season used to win the title.
I only know that Arsenal the league undefeated. The only one that matters lol!
Lol🤓
True and you have the bragging rights
That has been Arsenal's trophy since ages.. And I'm glad no team has matched that, not even the mighty Guardiola team 😂
Fantastic. I got to know yesterday that Baines got the most assists for a full back. I was blown away.
That's remarkable
And I think John Terry has the highest goals as a center back
I won't be surprised 🤣😂. Terry was a beast.
A good beast. 😂
Yes 😂🤣
And Frank Lampard the highest scoring midfielder.
And Steven Gerrard?
Lol... What about him?
Really? Does that still hold? I would have thought TAA would have overtaken any full back by now.
Baines still holds that. In fact, Robertson has more assists than Trent. Trent is in third. Robertson has 48 while Trent has 44.
Wow.. Thanks for this.. I'm actually amazed.
No problem at all.
Derby County 07/08 was truely horrible. Absolute toothless attack
