However, the season has been about a lot more than City’s eventual title success, with a number of teams and players shining, while others seem to have fallen out of form over the past 10+ months of football action.
We had a mid-season World Cup (which I personally hope doesn’t happen again due to the disruption it caused), some big surprises, a striker setting trailblazing new records in the Premier League and much more besides.
So in this article, we are going to hand out our Premier League awards for some of the best, and worst, that the Premier League has had to offer this season.
And in addition, we will bring you a very early check of the odds with bet365 Sport for who will win the title next season, before all the summer’s transfers are completed (and we expect there to be a lot of money spent in this window!)
So let’s begin with a quick roll call of who qualified for what, who was relegated and who will replace them from the Championship next season.
