The2019–20 Premier Leaguewas the 28th season of thePremier League,the top English professionalfootballleague, since its establishment in 1992, and the 121st season of top-flight English football overall. The season started on 9 August 2019 and concluded on 26 July 2020.[1]Manchester Citywere the defending champions for the second successive year, after picking up thedomestic treblethe previous season.

The season was halted for over three months, following a decision on 13 March 2020 by the Premier League to suspend the league after a number of players and other club staff became ill due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.The initial suspension, until 4 April, was then extended to mid-June.[3]The season recommenced with two matches on 17 June and a full round of matches played over the weekend of 19–22 June.[5]

Liverpoolwere crowned champions for the first time since1990.Their title win was also the club's first of the Premier League era and nineteenth overall. Over the season, the club set a number ofEnglish top-flight recordsincluding the earliest title win (with seven games to spare),[6]the latest title win (securing the title on 25 June),[7]the biggest points lead at any time (25),[8]and the most consecutive home wins (24, of which 7 were carried over from the previous season).[8]

The season introduced thevideo assistant referee(VAR) review system.[9]Changes to the laws affecting backpasses, penalties, handballs and substitutions were also introduced in 2019–20.[10]

Summary

[edit]

The Premier League season marked the start of a new three-year TV deal. One key change was that eight matches were shown on television at 19:45 on Saturdays across the season, broadcast bySky Sports.[11]Further,Amazonbroadcast two rounds of fixtures in December, including theMerseyside derby,marking the first time an entire round of live matches had been broadcast domestically.[12]

It was the first Premier League season to have a mid-season break in February. Three games of a normal round of ten were played on the weekend 8–9 February 2020, six games on the following weekend 14–17 February and the tenth game, Manchester City versusWest Ham United,was rescheduled from 9 February to 19 February due toStorm Ciara.Games played on the same day had separate time slots such that the games did not overlap.[13][14][15][16][17]

Title race

[edit]

With Manchester City and Liverpool achieving 98 and 97 points respectively in the2018–19 season,many expected another close race for the title. Liverpool started the season in strong form with eight consecutive wins, while City suffered a shock defeat to newly promotedNorwich City.[18]Liverpool's 3–1 win over City at Anfield in November opened up a nine-point lead over their rivals and they maintained their lead for the remainder of the season.

On 25 June 2020, Manchester City lost 2–1 toChelseaatStamford Bridge,mathematically confirming Liverpool as champions and marking their first league title in 30 years, and their first of the Premier League era.[19] Upon winning the league, Liverpool claimed the unusualachievementof winning the Premier League earlier than any other team by games played (with seven games remaining) and later than any other team by date (the only team to clinch the title in the month of June).[20]

Records and achievements

[edit]

On 25 October 2019,Leicester Citybroke the Premier League record – as well as the all-time English top-flight record – for the largest away league win and equalled the biggest ever Premier League win when they defeatedSouthampton9–0atSt Mary's Stadium.[21]

During the season, Liverpool broke or tied severalPremier League all-time records.They achieved a record-equalling 18 consecutive wins[22]before being defeated byWatfordon 29 February. They also set records of 24 consecutive home wins,[8]and a 25-point lead in the table at any time.[8]

On 12 January 2020, in a 6–1 victory overAston Villa,Manchester City'sSergio AgüerobrokeThierry Henry's Premier League record for most goals scored by an overseas player.[23]In the same match, he also broke the record for most hat-tricks scored by a single player (12), previously held byAlan Shearer.[24]

Black Lives Matter impact

[edit]

As a gesture of solidarity following themurder of George Floyd,players' names on the back of their shirts were replaced with 'Black Lives Matter' for the first 12 matches of the restarted season as well as replacing the Premier League badge for the BLM's for the rest of the season. The Premier League also gave their support for any player who chooses to "take a knee"before or during matches.[25]In addition, theNHStribute badge was also used at all kits for the remainder of the season.

Relegation battle

[edit]

On 11 July 2020, Norwich City became the first team to be relegated to theChampionshipafter a 4–0 defeat at home to West Ham United with three games remaining.[26]On 26 July 2020, the final day of the season,Bournemouthwere the second team to be relegated to the Championship, despite winning 3–1 away toEverton.[27]Watford were the final team to be relegated to the Championship on the same day, after losing 3–2 away toArsenal.[28]Both of these results were coupled with Aston Villa's 1–1 draw against West Ham United, ensuring Aston Villa safety in the Premier League for another season.[29]Coincidentally, the three relegated teams were the same teams promoted to the Premier League for the2015–16 season.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

[edit]

From March 2020, the season was affected by theCOVID-19 pandemic.[30]On 10 March, the match between Manchester City andArsenal,due to be played the next day after being rescheduled due to City's participation in the2020 EFL Cup final,was postponed. A number of Arsenal players had made close contact withOlympiacosownerEvangelos Marinakis,who had tested positive for infection with thecoronavirus,when the two teams had met in the Europa League 13 days earlier.[31]It is the first football season in England to be halted since the1939–40 seasonwas abandoned after only three games following the outbreak of theSecond World War.[32]

On 12 March, it was revealed that three Leicester City players were self-isolating.[33]Manchester City announced that their defenderBenjamin Mendywas also self-isolating, after a family member displayed symptoms of the virus.[34]Later in the evening, it was then confirmed that Arsenal head coachMikel Artetahad tested positive for coronavirus.[35]As a result of Arteta's positive test, the match betweenBrighton & Hove Albionand Arsenal, scheduled for 14 March at theAmex,was postponed.[36]On 13 March,Chelseaannounced that their wingerCallum Hudson-Odoihad tested positive for coronavirus.[37]

On 13 March, following an emergency meeting between the Premier League,The Football Association(FA), theEnglish Football Leagueand theFA Women's Super League,it was unanimously decided to suspend professional football in England until at least 4 April 2020.[2]On 19 March, the suspension was extended to at least 30 April 2020.[38]At the same time the FA agreed to extend the season indefinitely, past the scheduled end date of 1 June. In April 2020, theSecretary of State for Health and Social Care,Matt Hancock,called on Premier League players to take a pay cut during the pandemic.[39]ThePFArejected the call as they felt that a cut for all players would impact theExchequerwith a loss of income tax revenue.[40]Several clubs, including Watford, Southampton and West Ham United, all agreed to defer their wages.[41]Even there was considered the option of cancelling the championship. Later in April, the Premier League produced a plan, nicknamed "Project Restart", aimed at restarting the league and playing all 92 remaining matches over a six-week period at approved, neutral stadiums.[42]Watford, Aston Villa and Brighton, all near the bottom of the table, were of the opinion that it would be unfair to play the games in such different conditions when at risk of relegation but would be more in favour if the threat of relegation was removed.[43][44]From 19 May 2020, players were allowed to return to group training in preparation for restarting the league. They were permitted to be in groups of no more than five with all training sessions lasting no longer than 75 minutes for each player.Social distancingrules must be adhered to during the sessions.[45] On 17 and 18 May, a total of 748 players and staff were tested for COVID-19. Six tests proved positive includingAdrian Mariappaof Watford and Burnley assistant manager,Ian Woan.[46][47][48]Later in May,Aaron Ramsdaleof Bournemouth also returned a positive test for the virus.[49]

A number of players, including Manchester City'sRaheem SterlingandSergio AgüeroandAaron Cresswellof West Ham United, voiced concerns relating to the safety of restarting the campaign.Danny Roseof Newcastle United called the decision to restart "a joke".[50][51]Troy Deeneyof Watford said he would not return to training because of fear for his family's health.[52]N'Golo Kantéof Chelsea also missed training with safety concerns.[53]On 27 May, the clubs voted unanimously to resumecontacttraining.[54]Aston Villa'sTyrone Mingssaid the players had not been consulted regarding restarting the league and that the restart was "financially driven".[55]

On 28 May, clubs agreed that the season would restart on 17 June,[56]with the two games in hand of Manchester City vs Arsenal and Aston Villa vs Sheffield United,[57]with the first full round of fixtures since March to be played on the weekend of 19–21 June, with all matches played behind closed doors. A plan was announced for all remaining matches to be televised, and to widen the availability of domestic broadcasts: for the first time, theBBCgained rights to broadcast four live matches on free-to-air television, while Sky announced plans to carry 25 matches on its free-to-air channelPick.[58]Amazonwere allotted four matches. and announced it would provide a means of streaming them for free without anAmazon Primesubscription; on 18 June it was announced that these matches would be carried on itsvideo game live streamingserviceTwitch.[59][60]All broadcasters showed the matches withartificial crowd noise,whilst also providing an alternative option for viewers to watch the matches without the added effects.

On 4 June, the Premier League announced that teams would be allowed to name nine substitutes per match, instead of the usual seven, and that teams could use five substitutes per match instead of three.[61]

Aston Villa vs. Sheffield United and Manchester City vs. Arsenal on 17 June were the first games played after the pandemic enforced break.[62]

Financial services companyDeloitteestimated that Premier League clubs would face a £1 billion loss of revenue for the 2019–20 season, £500 million being accounted for in rebates to broadcasters and loss of matchday revenue.[63]

Further tests for the virus were carried out on 11 and 12 June. Two unnamed people provided a positive result including one player from Norwich City who would be required toself-isolatethereby missing the first fixture of the restarted season. Following these tests there had been 16 positive results from 8,687 tests.[64]

Before the restart of games the Premier League produced a set of guidelines to be followed at all games. They stipulated that all matches must be played behind closed doors, with the number of key people allowed inside the stadium limited to 300. All stadiums are divided into three zones — red (includes pitch and technical areas), amber (stands) and green (stand concourses) — and there are restrictions on who is allowed to enter each. There is staggered entry on to the pitch for players and staff and no handshakes are allowed before kick-off. Deep cleaning of corner flags, goalposts, substitution boards and match balls takes place before and after each fixture as standard. Extradisinfection,such as of the substitution board after it is used, is likely during matches and at half-time. Additional measures include that players and coaching staff must observe social distancing rules when travelling to and from games, and post-match broadcast interviews must take place pitchside with press conferences conducted virtually.[65]
