Frequently Asked Questions
Can you explain the concept of the ‘Big Six’ in the Premier League?
The Big Six refers collectively to the Premier League’s most successful clubs and influential teams in recent history. Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are usually on the list. Also included is Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. These teams have a reputation for a consistently high performance, a huge fan base and financial strength, as well as qualifying frequently for European competitions.
Do Premier League clubs have any financial regulations?

These are designed to prevent clubs spending more than they can afford and to promote stability. These rules require clubs to limit their losses over a three-year period and to ensure that expenditures do not massively exceed their earnings from football-related activities. These regulations were put in place to encourage sensible spending and maintain competitive balance among the league.
What role does the Video Assistant Referee play in the Premier League?
The Premier League uses the Video Assistant Referee, or VAR, system to assist referees on the field in making correct decisions. This includes goals, penalties, incidents involving direct red cards, and misidentification. The VAR watches the video footage of the incident, and then advises the match referee. This referee can choose to watch a replay before making the final call. The system aims to minimize human errors that could influence the outcome of a match.

The bottom three teams in each Premier League are relegated, and this is done at the end of every season. The Championship, or second tier, of English football, takes their place.
