The Chelsea team in September 1905 before their inaugural season in the Football League Second Division.

Chelsea Football Club is a professional association football club based Fulham, London. Founded in 1905, they were elected to play in The Football League as members of the Second Division.[1] They were promoted into the First Division in the club's second season.[2] Chelsea remained in the Football League, in the First or Second division, until 1992 when clubs in the First Division broke away from The Football League to form the Premier League.[3] The club has remained in the top division of the English football league system since 1989. In their latest spell in the Second Division Chelsea achieved their highest points total achieving 99 in the 1988–89 season.[4] As of the 2014–15 season, the club holds the records for the most points, most goals scored and most clean sheets in a single Premier League season with 95 points in 2004–05, 103 goals in 2009–10 and 25 clean sheets in 2004–05. Chelsea have been English football champions five times.[5]

Chelsea played their inaugural league fixture as part of the Football League Second Division on 2 September 1905 against Stockport County.[6] Since that game they have faced eighty different sides in league football with their most regular opponent having been Arsenal, against whom they have played on 159 occasions since their first meeting on 9 November 1907.[7] They met their most recent different league opponent, Wigan Athletic, for the first time in the 2005–06 FA Premier League season.[8] The club has won 59 of their league matches against Sunderland, which represents the most Chelsea have won against any club.[9] Chelsea have drawn more matches with Everton than with any other club; out of the 155 league matches between the two teams, 48 have finished without a winner.[10] The side has lost more league games to Liverpool than to any other club, having been defeated by them 66 times in 147 encounters.[11]
