Arsenal 3rd & Chelsea 5th in interesting TV game audience table

8) Everton – Average audience (1000s) – 973.6

The Toffees enjoyed being given greater freedom of expression under Roberto Martinez this term.

7) Swansea City – Average audience (1000s) – 1,014.2

Swansea sacked manager Michael Laudrup early on, and Gary Monk’s done well enough to earn the job on a full-time basis.

6) Tottenham – Average audience (1000s) – 1,069.9

Spurs finished sixth in the actual table, too – but sacked both Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood anyway.
