The London giants have grown significantly under Arteta, finishing second in the EPL three seasons in a row. This season, they sparked talk of a quadruple. However, in the end, they quickly lost their chances in the spring, losing in the League Cup final to Manchester City and, after the international break, to Southampton in the cup. They also surrendered their league lead after a couple of setbacks. Nevertheless, their rival later slipped up, and Arsenal, the title contender, went on to beat everyone, including West Ham. At the same time, they reached the Champions League final, eliminating Atletico in the semifinals—1-0 at home after a 1-1 draw in Spain.
The Turf Moor side under Parker completely repeated the scenario seen under Kompany. Scott brought them straight back up after relegation to the Championship but couldn’t keep them in the Premier League. After their early relegation, Parker left his post. Without him, they lost to Leeds. However, they managed to draw with Aston Villa.
The stars from London average 1.89 goals scored and concede 0.72 per match. The newcomer’s relegation is not surprising: 1.03 goals scored per match and 2.03 conceded.
