  • Avram Grant's side come up short in their title ambitions, after stuttering to a draw at home to Bolton. Andriy Shevchenko had given the Blues the lead, but a late equaliser from Kevin Davies helped to cement Bolton's place in the Premiership and diminish Chelsea's slim chance of the title.
  • Derby County finished the worst season for a Premiership member with one win, eight draws and 29 losses for a total of 11 points and a goal differential of minus-69 (with 20 goals scored as a team, were outscored by three players and 89 against, also premiership records) surpassing the 2003–04 and 2005–06 Sunderland teams, and their 29 losses tied the 2005–06 Black Cats' total losses.
