Trivia Triple

• Chelsea, along with Arsenal, were the first club to play with shirt numbers on 25 August 1928 in their match against Swansea Town.
• Chelsea's points ratio in their 1954-55 title-winning season (1.71 per game) is the lowest ever for an English Championship-winning side. Conversely, their points total of 95 for their 2004-05 title-winning season is the highest.
