The 2010–11 Premier League (known as the Barclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons) is the nineteenth season of the Premier League since its establishment in 1992. The 2010–11 fixtures were released on 17 June 2010 at 09:00 BST.[2] The season began on 14 August 2010,[3] and will conclude on 22 May 2011. Chelsea are the defending champions.[4]

Rule changes

The Premier League introduced a cap on the number of players in a squad. From this season onwards, clubs will have to declare a squad of no more than 25 players when the summer transfer window shuts, and then again at the end of the January transfer window. Players aged 21 and under can be selected without being registered in the 25.

Also being introduced this season is the "home grown players" rule, which aims to encourage the development of young footballers at Premier League clubs. The new rule will require clubs to name at least eight players in their squad of 25 players that have been registered domestically for a minimum of three seasons prior to their 21st birthday.[5]

All of the Premier League teams submitted their 25-man squads on the 1 September 2010 deadline.[6]

Teams

A total of twenty teams will contest the league, including seventeen sides from the 2009–10 season and three promoted teams from the 2009–10 Football League Championship.

Hull City, Burnley and Portsmouth were relegated from 2009–10 Premier League after finishing the season in the bottom three places of the league table. From the three teams relegated, Portsmouth had the longest tenure as a Premier League member as the club completed a seven-year stay at the highest level of English football. In comparison, Hull City and Burnley had to return to the Championship after two and one years respectively.

2009–10 Football League Championship champions Newcastle United and runners-up West Bromwich Albion secured direct promotion to the Premier League. Both teams made their immediate return to the Premier League after being relegated at the end of the 2008–09 season. Blackpool beat Cardiff City 3–2 in the Championship play-off Final to join them after 39 years of absence from the top flight.[7]

This is the first time since 1983–84 that all four major West Midlands clubs—Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers—will all have been in the top division at the same time.[8] It will also be the first time that the Black Country derby will be contested in the Premier League. With Portsmouth and Hull relegated and no teams from their respective regions replacing them, only four of the nine regions of England are represented in the 2010–11 Premier League - the fewest number of regions represented in a national football division in modern times.[citation needed] Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, East, South East and South West are all unrepresented.
