The1995–96 FA Premier League (known as theFACarling Premiership for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth season of the competition, since its formation in 1992. Due to the decision to reduce the number of clubs in theFA Premier League from 22 to 20, only two clubs,Middlesbrough andBolton Wanderers, were promoted instead of the usual three.[3]

Manchester United won the Premier League and qualified for theUEFA Champions League, whileArsenal,Aston Villa, andNewcastle United qualified for theUEFA Cup.Liverpool also qualified for theUEFA Cup Winners' Cup asrunners-up of theFA Cup which was won by Manchester United.

Summary

[edit]

Liverpool andAston Villa emerged as possible title contenders early in the season, whileMiddlesbrough's early promise saw them occupy fourth place in late October. However, an injury crisis saw their league form slump, leading them up to 12th-place. Most of the campaign was a two-horse race between Manchester United and Newcastle United. The two sides played on 27 December, with Newcastle 10 points ahead in the league. A 2–0 home win for Manchester United cut the gap to seven points, and two days later they beatQueens Park Rangers 2–1 to reduce the gap to just four points. Nevertheless, a 4–1 defeat atTottenham on New Year's Day and a 0–0 draw with Aston Villa allowed Newcastle to establish a 12-point lead in January.

Manchester United and Newcastle met again in early March, by which time the gap had been cut to four points. A second half goal byEric Cantona gave Manchester United a 1–0 away win and cut the gap to a single point. With one game left of the season, Manchester United led the Premier League by two points, having taken lead of the league halfway through March and stayed on top ever since. In case of the two clubs being tied for first place, the Premier League made preliminary preparations for a championship play-off match atWembley.[4] For Newcastle to win their first title since 1927, they had to win against Tottenham and hope that their north-eastern rivals Middlesbrough defeatedAlex Ferguson’s men. But the Premier League title went toOld Trafford as Manchester United won 3–0 and Newcastle could only manage a 1–1 draw with Tottenham.

Despite the arrival of Dennis Bergkamp,Arsenal never looked like serious title challengers. Their best chance of success coming in theLeague Cup, where they reached the semi-finals, was lost on away goals to Aston Villa. However, theNorth London side still qualified for the UEFA Cup by finishing fifth.

Aston Villa won the Coca-Cola sponsored League Cup competition this season, beating Leeds United 3–0 at Wembley.

Title holders, Blackburn, recorded the lowest ever finish by a Premier League title-holder by finishing 7th. This record was matched by Manchester United in2013–14 and broken byChelsea in2015–16 and again byLeicester City in2016–17. However, Rovers strikerAlan Shearer was still the league’s top scorer with 31 goals.

Six days after clinching their third league title in four seasons, Manchester United became the first team to complete a second league championship andFA Cup double when a Cantona goal gave them a 1–0 win over Liverpool in theFA Cup final.[5]

Fourth place Aston Villa lifted the League Cup for a joint record fifth time, securing a UEFA Cup place for the third time in four seasons.

The Premier League relegation places went toBolton Wanderers, Queens Park Rangers, andManchester City. Bolton had spent most of their first Premier League season bottom of the table, and an improvement in form was not enough to save theBurnden Park side from an immediate return to Division One. They went down on the season’s penultimate weekend, on the same day that QPR’s 3-0 win overLondon rivals West Ham came too late to save the top flight place they had held since 1983. Manchester City failed to beat Liverpool on the final day of the season, consigning them to the final relegation place on goal difference behindSouthampton andCoventry City.

English performance in European competition

[edit]

Blackburn Rovers, the 1994–95 Premier League champions, finished bottom of their group in theUEFA Champions League.[6]Manchester United were knocked out of theUEFA Cup in the first round, withLiverpool andLeeds United both being knocked out at the second round.[7]Everton were beaten in the second round of theUEFA Cup Winners' Cup.[8] The only English team still in European competition after Christmas wereNottingham Forest, who reached the quarter-finals of theUEFA Cup.[7]

Teams

[edit]

Twenty teams competed in the league – the top eighteen teams from the previous season and the two teams promoted from theFirst Division. The promoted teams wereMiddlesbrough andBolton Wanderers, returning to the top flight after two and fifteen years respectively. This was also Bolton Wanderers' first season in the Premier League. They replacedCrystal Palace,Norwich City,Leicester City andIpswich Town, who were relegated to theFirst Division after their top flight spells of one, nine, one and three years respectively. This was the first season in which the league was contested by twenty teams as opposed to previous seasons which were contested by twenty-two teams.
