The 2014–15 Premier League (known as the Barclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons) was the 23rd season of the Premier League, the top English professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1992, and the 116th season of top-flight English football overall. The fixtures were announced on 18 June 2014.[3] The season started on 16 August 2014 and concluded on 24 May 2015.[4]
Manchester City came into the season as defending champions of the 2013–14 season. Leicester City, Burnley and Queens Park Rangers entered as the three promoted teams.
On 3 May 2015, Chelsea won the title with three games to spare after a 1–0 home win over Crystal Palace.[5] It was their first league title since 2010, their fourth Premier League title and their fifth English league title overall.[6] Holders Manchester City eventually finished second, after a short drop to fourth a few weeks before the final match.[7]
Burnley were the first team to be relegated despite beating Hull City 1–0, while Queens Park Rangers suffered the same fate after a 6–0 demolition by Manchester City the next day.[8] [9] Hull City were the third and final team to be relegated after Newcastle United beat West Ham United 2–0.[10] [11] [12] [13] They drew 0–0 against Manchester United on the final day of the season.[14]
Manchester City's Sergio Agüero won the Golden Boot with 26 goals, with his teammate Joe Hart clinching a record fourth Golden Glove, having kept 14 clean sheets.[15] [16] Eden Hazard and José Mourinho were named as Player and Manager of the Season respectively.
Twenty teams competed in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the Championship. The promoted teams were Leicester City, Burnley and Queens Park Rangers, returning to the top flight after respective absences of ten years, four years and one year. They replaced Norwich City, Fulham and Cardiff City, who were relegated to the Championship after their respective top-flight spells of three years, thirteen years and one year.
