Peringkat Liga Premier League 2023

FA Premier League season 2023-2024

The 2023–24 Premier League was the 32nd season of the Premier League, and the 125th season of top-flight English football overall. The fixtures were announced on Thursday 15 June 2023 at 09:00 BST. Manchester City are the three-time defending champions, and will have a chance to become the first English football club to win four titles in a row.

This season is the third to feature a winter break, with every team having a two-week break from all competitions sometime between 2 January and 30 January 2024. The summer transfer window lasted between 14 June and 1 September 2023. The Premier League's winter transfer window was opened between 1 January and 1 February 2024.

For only the third time in Premier League history (after Middlesbrough in 1996–97 and Portsmouth in 2009–10), a Premier League team were deducted points; on 17 November 2023, Everton had 10 points deducted from their total for a breach of the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules (PSR). The deduction was the biggest to be handed out in Premier League history and was subject to appeal. On 26 February 2024, following their appeal, it was announced that the deduction had been reduced to six points. On 8 April 2024, the club were deducted two additional points for further PSR breaches, which the club initially appealed, but later withdrew. In total, the club have been deducted eight points this season.

On 30 September 2023, in the game between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, Premier League's video assistant referee (VAR), Darren England, failed to intervene on a decision that disallowed Luis Díaz's legitimate goal. Liverpool lost the game 2–1 and PGMOL admitted the offside ruling as a "significant human error". It was revealed that England and the assistant VAR, Dan Cook, took an eight-hour long flight back from the UAE a day before. A group of PGMOL officials were in UAE to take charge of a match between Sharjah and Al-Ain. It led to questions over PGMOL's decision of allowing the leading match officials to take lucrative assignments in the UAE Pro League although the Emirates owns the Premier League club, Manchester City.

On 5 December 2023, Sheffield United became the first club to sack their manager, dismissing Paul Heckingbottom after their 5–0 defeat to fellow newly-promoted side Burnley. He was replaced by Chris Wilder, marking his return to the club since the 2020–21 season. At that time, Sheffield United were bottom of the league, having amassed only five points in 14 games.

On 16 December 2023, the match between Bournemouth and Luton Town was abandoned after 65 minutes with the score level at 1–1 as Luton captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed on the pitch. Play was initially suspended, with the referee taking both sets of players off, midway through the second half, whilst medical personnel tended to Lockyer. He was eventually stretchered off, and taken to hospital, where it was later announced that he was responsive, and in a stable condition. The game was replayed on 13 March 2024, with Luton taking a 3–0 lead at half-time, before Bournemouth fought back in the second half to win 4–3, in what was praised as one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the league.

On 19 December 2023, Nottingham Forest became the second club to sack their manager, dismissing Steve Cooper after Forest had won one game from 13 league games played. His last game in charge was a 2–0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. He was replaced by former Wolverhampton Wanderers and Spurs coach Nuno Espírito Santo, whose first game in charge was a 3–2 home loss to Bournemouth, extending the club’s winless run to seven games. In his second game, Nuno ended Nottingham Forest's winless run with a 3–1 away win at Newcastle United, with Chris Wood scoring a hat-trick against his old club, having left in the January transfer window of the 2022–23 season.

On 26 January 2024, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp announced his intention to step down as manager at the end of the season after more than eight years in charge.

On 19 February 2024, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson resigned from his role. Palace had lost ten of their previous 16 games and were 16th in the table, five points above the relegation zone. Hodgson, who had been taken ill at a team training session on 15 February, was replaced by former Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner.

On 18 March 2024, Nottingham Forest became the fourth ever Premier League club to receive a points deduction, as they were deducted four points for a breach of the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules. The club submitted an appeal on 26 March, but on 7 May their appeal was rejected.

On 27 April 2024, Sheffield United became the first team relegated to the Championship after a 5–1 away defeat at Newcastle United. The defeat left the Blades 10 points adrift of safety with three matches left to play. On 4 May 2024, they also became the first side to concede 100 goals in a 38 game Premier League season, equalling the record of Swindon Town overall, who also conceded 100 goals in the 1993–94 season, consisting of 42 games. On 11 May, they would break the record, conceding a 101st goal in a 1–0 defeat to Everton.

On 6 May 2024, West Ham United announced that manager David Moyes would leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires, and that his successor had not yet been appointed.

On 11 May 2024, Burnley became the second team to be relegated, following a 2–1 away defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The defeat left them five points adrift of safety with one match left to play. Luton Town also lost to 3–1 away to West Ham United on the same day, which left them three points adrift of safety with one match left to play, a result which whilst not mathematically confirming relegation, would require a 13 goal swing to catch 17th place Nottingham Forest.

The new stoppage time rule takes place in the league this year. In an effort to improve clamping down on time-wasting and to improve the accuracy of time added on, stoppage times will be longer across matches. The new rule will account for stoppages due to injuries, goal celebrations, yellow and red cards, and VAR reviews. Additionally, there will be yellow/red card offences for dissent and time wasting, which contributed to a large increase in yellow and red cards this season.

20 teams compete in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the Championship. The promoted teams are Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town, who will return to the top flight after respective absences of one, two and thirty-one years. This will also be Luton Town's first season in the Premier League. With their promotion, Luton Town will become the first team to have been promoted from non-league to the top flight during the Premier League era. They will replace Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton, who will be relegated to the Championship after respective spells of nine, three and eleven years in the top flight.

The following teams have changed division since the 2022-23 season.

Manchester City has won the championship three times in a row and could be the first men's team to win four times in a row in English football history.[1]

The summer transfer window opened on 14th June 2023 and closed at 23:00 BST on 1st September 2023. The winter transfer window will open on 1st January 2024 and close at 23:00 GMT on 1st February 2024.[2][3] The league will have a winter break between 14th and 30th January 2024, during which no Premier League games will be played.

For only the third time in Premier League history, a team had points taken away. On 17 November 2023, Everton lost 10 points for breaking the league's money rules. This was the biggest points deduction ever in Premier League history. After an appeal, the points loss was reduced to six on 26 February 2024. Then, on 8 April, Everton lost another two points for breaking more rules, making a total of eight points lost for the season.[4][5]

On 30 September 2023, during a game between Tottenham and Liverpool, the video assistant referee (VAR) made a mistake and disallowed a goal that should have counted. Liverpool lost the game 2–1. It was later revealed that the referees had just returned from a long trip to the UAE the day before, which raised questions about whether they should have been allowed to take other jobs in the UAE.[6]

On 5 December 2023, Sheffield United became the first team to fire their manager this season after a 5–0 loss to Burnley. Paul Heckingbottom was replaced by Chris Wilder. At that time, Sheffield United were at the bottom of the league with only five points from 14 games.[7]

On 16 December 2023, the game between Bournemouth and Luton Town was stopped after 65 minutes when Luton's captain, Tom Lockyer, collapsed on the pitch. He had a heart problem and was taken to the hospital but later recovered. The game was replayed on 13 March 2024, and Bournemouth made an amazing comeback to win 4–3 after being 3–0 down at halftime.[8]

On 19 December 2023, Nottingham Forest fired their manager, Steve Cooper, after winning just one of 13 games. He was replaced by Nuno Espírito Santo. In his second game, Nuno led Forest to a 3–1 win against Newcastle, ending their winless streak.[9]

On 26 January 2024, Liverpool's manager Jürgen Klopp announced he would leave at the end of the season after more than eight years with the team.[10] On 19 February 2024, Crystal Palace's manager Roy Hodgson resigned.

On 27 April 2024, Sheffield United was the first team relegated to the Championship after losing 5–1 to Newcastle. They were 10 points away from safety with only three games left. On 4 May, they became the first team to let in 100 goals in a 38-game season. By the end of the season, they had let in 104 goals, the most in the top league since Ipswich Town let in 121 goals in 1963–64.[12]

On 6 May 2024, West Ham United said their manager, David Moyes, would leave at the end of the season when his contract ended.[13] On 11 May 2024, Burnley became the second team relegated after losing 2–1 to Tottenham. They were five points from safety with one game left. On the same day, Luton Town lost 3–1 to West Ham, which left them needing a miracle to stay up. Their relegation was confirmed on the last day as they lost 4–2 to Fulham, and Nottingham Forest won 2–1 against Burnley.[14]

On 18 May 2024, Brighton & Hove Albion announced they had agreed with their manager Roberto De Zerbi to end his contract after the last game of the season.[15][16] On 19 May 2024, the final day of the season, Manchester City beat West Ham 3–1 to win the title with 91 points. Arsenal finished second with 89 points.

This season, Aston Villa did very well under their manager Unai Emery, securing a spot in the Champions League for the first time since 1983. Meanwhile, Manchester United had their worst Premier League season ever, finishing eighth with 14 losses. However, they still won the FA Cup, beating Manchester City, which got them a place in the Europa League next season.[17] Chelsea, who finished 12th last season, improved to sixth under their new manager Mauricio Pochettino, earning a spot in the Conference League playoff round. Newcastle United finished seventh but missed out on European football because Manchester United won the FA Cup. If Manchester City had won the FA Cup, Chelsea would have moved to the Europa League, Newcastle to the Conference League, and Manchester United would have missed out on European football.

Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) If the champions, relegated teams or qualified teams for UEFA competitions cannot be determined by rules 1 to 3, rules 4.1 to 4.3 are applied – 4.1) Points gained in head-to-head record between such teams; 4.2) Away goals scored in head-to-head record between such teams; 4.3) Play-offs

32nd season of the Premier League

Football league season

The 2023–24 Premier League was the 32nd season of the Premier League and the 125th season of top-flight English football overall. The season began on 11 August 2023, and concluded on 19 May 2024.[2][3][4][5]

Manchester City, the defending champions, won their fourth consecutive title, the first men's team to do so.[6][7][8]

This season was the third to feature a winter break, with each team having a two-week break from all competitions some time between 2 January and 30 January 2024.[9] The summer transfer window was from 14 June to 1 September 2023, while the winter transfer window was between 1 January and 1 February 2024.[10]

A record 1,246 goals (380 games, an average of 3.28 per match) were scored during the season, breaking the previous record of 1,222 in the 1992–93 season (which had 462 games, an average of 2.65 per match). The average goals per game was the highest in the top flight since 1964–65.[11] All three of the newly promoted teams were relegated (Luton Town, Burnley, and Sheffield United), the first time this happened since the 1997–98 season; those three teams had a combined total of 66 points. Nottingham Forest avoided relegation with 32 points (including a 4-point deduction), a record low for a team to do so.

For only the third time in Premier League history (after Middlesbrough in 1996–97 and Portsmouth in 2009–10), a Premier League team was deducted points; on 17 November 2023, Everton had 10 points deducted from their total for a breach of the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules (PSR).

On 6 May 2024, West Ham United announced that manager David Moyes would leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expired.[33]

On 11 May 2024, Burnley became the second team to be relegated, following a 2–1 away defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The defeat left them five points adrift of safety with one match left to play, having failed to move out of the relegation zone since the opening day of the season.[34][35]

Also on 11 May 2024, Luton Town lost 3–1 away to West Ham United, which left them three points adrift of safety with one match left to play, a result which whilst not mathematically confirming relegation, would have required a 13 goal swing on the last day of the season to beat 17th placed Nottingham Forest.[36] Their relegation was confirmed on the final day as they lost 4–2 to Fulham, and Nottingham Forest beat Burnley 2–1.[37][38]

On 18 May 2024, Brighton & Hove Albion announced that they had reached a mutual agreement with manager Roberto De Zerbi to terminate his contract following the conclusion of the season the following day.[39]

On 19 May 2024, the final day of the season, Manchester City beat West Ham United 3–1 at home to secure the title with 91 points – two points ahead of their title rivals Arsenal, who defeated Everton 2–1 at home. Arsenal finished runners-up with 89 points, becoming the third-best second-placed team in the history of the Premier League.[40]

This season saw the continued rise of Aston Villa under Unai Emery, with them securing a Champions League spot under the new 'league phase' format, and for the first time since 1983. Meanwhile, Manchester United suffered their worst season in Premier League history. After finishing third and winning the EFL Cup in Erik ten Hag's debut season, United recorded new lows in his second season, including their lowest finish in a season (eighth, previously seventh in 2013–14 under David Moyes), the most losses in a single Premier League season ever (14), a −1 goal difference, and a total of 58 goals conceded (82 in all competitions), the most since the 1976–77 season.[citation needed] In spite of this, United salvaged their season by defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup final, denying them a league and cup double in successive seasons and securing a place in the Europa League league phase for the next season.

Chelsea, who finished 12th in the previous season, saw themselves back into European football after a year's absence under former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, by placing sixth after a season full of inconsistent results, confirming qualification for the Conference League playoff round for the next season on the final matchday. Meanwhile, Newcastle United finished seventh, above Manchester United for the first time since the 1976–77 season. However, due to Manchester United's FA Cup win, they missed out on European football. Had Manchester City won the FA Cup, Chelsea would have taken United's spot in the Europa League league phase, Newcastle would have qualified for the Conference League playoff round, and Manchester United would have missed out on European football altogether.[41]

The new stoppage time rule was used in the league for the first time this season. In an effort to improve clamping down on time-wasting and to improve the accuracy of time added on, stoppage times were longer across matches. The new rule accounted for stoppages due to injuries, goal celebrations, yellow and red cards, and VAR reviews. Additionally, there were yellow/red card offences for dissent and time wasting, which contributed to a large increase in yellow and red cards this season.[42] It was reported that the new rule also made the matches more chaotic and unpredictable, and increased the drama and spectacle of the competition with many goals scored in added time (many occurring after the 95th minute). In addition, increasing the stoppage time was considered a good move by some who argued that time wasting was no longer tolerable, while others (including some insiders) would have preferred a switch to actual time and more clarity and transparency about how long a match should last.[43][44][45]

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 Burnley, Sheffield United, and Luton Town, who returned to the top flight after respective absences of one, two and thirty-one years. This was also Luton Town's first season in the Premier League.[46] With their promotion, Luton Town were the first team to have been promoted from non-League (5th tier or lower within the English football league pyramid) to the top flight during the Premier League era. They replaced Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton, who were relegated to the Championship after respective spells of nine, three and eleven years in the top flight.
