Blackburn Rovers 1997–98 football season
During the 1997–98 English football season, Blackburn Rovers competed in the FA Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons).
Season summary [ edit ]
After last season's slip-up, Blackburn Rovers emerged as title contenders under new manager Roy Hodgson , and even sixth place in the final table was enough for a UEFA Cup place. Never below seventh throughout the campaign, Rovers only lost two league matches before New Year as Hodgson picked up the Premier League Manager of the Month awards for both August and December,[1]
Chris Sutton 's continued return to form saw him come joint top of the Premiership goalscoring charts with 18 goals, a Premier League Player of the Month award for February[1] international call-up, though he didn't make the final squad for the World Cup after refusing to play for the England B team.
Final league table [ edit ]

Premier League Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
