The1997–98 FA Premier League (known as theFACarling Premiership for sponsorship reasons) was the sixth season of theFA Premier League. It sawArsenal lift their first league title since 1991[3] and, in so doing, became only the second team to winThe Double for the second time.

It was Arsenal's first full season under French managerArsène Wenger, who became the third manager to win the Premier League. Wenger followed in the footsteps ofAlex Ferguson andKenny Dalglish and, while both Ferguson and Dalglish wereScottish, Wenger was the first manager from outside the British Isles to win a league title in England.

Season summary

[edit]

At the end of the 1997–98 FA Premier League season, a record total of nine English teams qualified for European competition.

Premiership champions Arsenal and runners-up Manchester United qualified for theChampions League, whileUEFA Cup places went toLiverpool,Leeds United,Aston Villa andBlackburn Rovers. Qualifying for theUEFA Cup Winners' Cup wereChelsea (as defending champions) and FA Cup runners-upNewcastle United.Crystal Palace, while finishing bottom, qualified for the Intertoto Cup.[4]

Manchester United led the table for most of the season, before a dip in form during the final two months of the campaign saw Arsenal overtake them in April, taking advantage of games in hand, and winning the league title with two away matches remaining, although the gap between the champions and runners-up was a single point in the final table as Arsenal lost their final two away fixtures and Alex Ferguson’s men won both of theirs. Arsenal then completed the double by winning the FA Cup. Despite the sudden dismissal of FA Cup-winning player-managerRuud Gullit, Chelsea won the League Cup and European Cup Winners Cup under new player-managerGianluca Vialli.

The gap between the Premier League and Division One ofthe Football League was highlighted at the end of 1997–98 when all three newly promoted teams were relegated.Crystal Palace was confined to the bottom place in the final table, having won just two home games all season and losing most of their games in the second half of the campaign.Barnsley's first season in the top division ended in relegation, although they did reach theFA Cup quarter finals and knocked out Manchester United in the Fifth Round.Bolton Wanderers went down on goal difference, with 17th place being occupied by Everton: despite preserving top-flight football for the 45th season running,Howard Kendall quit as manager atGoodison Park after his third spell in charge.

Another mark of the gap was that the three relegated teams in the previous season took the top three places in the1997–98 Football League. HadSunderland not lost the play-off final toCharlton Athletic on a penalty shootout, the 20 teams from the1998–99 Premier League would have been exactly the same as those in the1996–97 Premier League.

Teams

[edit]

Twenty teams are competing in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from theFirst Division. The promoted teams wereBolton Wanderers (returning after a season's absence),Barnsley (playing in the top flight for the first time) andCrystal Palace (playing in the top flight after a two year absence). They replacedSunderland,Middlesbrough andNottingham Forest, who were relegated to theFirst Division after top flight spells of one, two and three years respectively.
