ADDITIONAL STATS

- Arsenal named six teams with the same line-up in April-May, the first time they'd done this since 1994.

- Sunderland were shown 94 yellow cards, a record in a single Premier League season.

- Liverpool ended the season with their worst ever Premier League defeat (1-6) and it was the first time they've conceded 6+ goals in a league game since losing 7-2 to Tottenham in 1963.

Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool were embarrassed at Stoke on the final day.

- Champions Chelsea topped the table for 274 days of the season, a record in the Premier League era. Last season's title winners Man City were top for only 15 days.

- Leicester City spent longer at the bottom of the table without being relegated than any side in Premier League history (140 days). For the second successive season, the team bottom of the Premier League at Christmas stayed up. Leicester became the first club to overturn a two-goal deficit against Manchester United in the Premier League when they beat them 5-3 in September.

- Swansea became only the third team in Premier League history to beat both Arsenal and Man United home & away in the same season (along with West Ham in 06/07 and Chelsea in 09/10).

- Man City were the only side not be involved in a 0-0 draw in the Premier League this season.
