Despite Chelsea's poor performance in the 2022/23 season, no Premier League club can repeat what their club did in the 2005/06 season. Arsenal have been fantastic this season, having topped the Premier League table for most of the season. However, the Gunners were unable to repeat what the Chelsea team did in the 2005/06 Premier League season. That means Chelsea remain the only English club to have scored 23 goals, conceded just three, won nine consecutive games and kept six clean sheets in their first nine Premier League games.
However, there are several reasons why this record is so difficult for a team to repeat. First, the introduction of Video Assistant Referees has influenced the results of Premier League matches in recent years. Goals can be announced or canceled by VAR intervention during an official match.
Red cards can easily be overturned in a match by VAR and this is a good incentive for the tournament, which makes it very difficult for teams to lose due to bad refereeing decisions.
Another practical reason is that the competitive nature of the Premier League has improved over the years as the new Premier League TV deal now provides every Premier League club with the funding to recruit the best players. . In the early 2000s, only the six big clubs could buy expensive players and that was a kind of advantage over the average clubs. In addition, the substitution rules have changed and more players can now be included in the match, which can also affect the intensity and outcome of the match.

Arsenal are close to signing a top Spanish midfielder, Liverpool are aggressively hunting for the Barcelona star, while Monday's Transfer Rumors claimed one of the signings. Chelsea's big summer will end with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
EDU HAS MY MAN WITH Arsenal READY TO SIGN GABRI VEIGA
Arsenal are said to be close to winning the transfer race to sign Gabri Veiga with Celta Vigo sure to accept an offer from the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta's side focus on Wednesday's epic game at the Emirates Stadium in a match that will have a major impact on the fate of the Premier League title.
But off the pitch, sporting director Edu is planning the summer transfer window and a return to the Champions League. And despite signing Jorginho in January, the club are on the hunt for more talented midfielders. Indeed, Moises Caicedo is said to remain on their most wanted list after seeing an offer in January rejected. And he could be joined at the Emirates Stadium by another young talent from Veiga.
The Celta Vigo star is having a fantastic season in La Liga with nine goals and four assists in 28 appearances.
However, the Spanish press believe his sale this summer is inevitable - and it looks like a huge offer from Arsenal will prevail.
And AS believe an offer of £35m (€40m) will be enough for Arsenal to sign. The Spanish publication also claimed that they would happily accept such an offer as well, with Arsenal clearly leading Manchester United and Manchester City in the race for his signature.
The 20-year-old is considered one of La Liga's most promising talents, having made 46 appearances for Celta, scoring nine goals.
LIVERPOOL JOIN THE RACE TO EARN FRENKIE DE JONG
Liverpool are said to be entering the race to sign Frenkie de Jong amid growing suggestions that Barcelona are ready to sell.
The Dutch midfielder was a hot topic at Manchester United last summer. However, despite the Red Devils agreeing a fee with Barcelona, ??De Jong faltered and achieved his wish to stay. However, Barca's financial problems have not gone away and the club still has to balance its books. To achieve that goal, they will need to raise €200 million by June 30 to comply with FFP regulations in Spain.
As a result, the Spaniards increasingly believe that at least two big stars will have to be sold. And with De Jong being a valuable asset, the 25-year-old midfielder once again finds himself slashed.
But instead of Manchester United making another move to sign him, reports in Spain believe it is Liverpool who are most likely to win the race. And it looks like Jurgen Klopp is ready to switch to De Jong as he looks to rebuild his midfield.
And such a deal is expected to cost Liverpool around £75m.
However, with the same fee required for Alexis Mac Allister, it looks like Klopp is about to change course.
However, the German military leader will not have everything he wants in the race for De Jong. And it has been suggested that Chelsea will also compete for his signature. Meanwhile, Manchester United should prioritize other positions first. Indeed, Erik ten Hag bought above all a new striker and two new defenders.
