The 2020/2021 English Premier League season has come and gone with paths on the back for some and “hammers” being thrown at others.
It was an exciting season for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team, who are in for a treble having won the EFL cup, the Premier League title with 86 points and are in contention for the coveted UEFA Champions League trophy.
Manchester United are in second position with 74points, followed by Liverpool and Chelsea FC with 69 points and 67 points respectively.
Leicester City with 66 points dropped out of the Champions League places having lost their last game at home to Tottenham Hotspurs by 2goals to 4.
Surprisingly, West Ham United finished sixth with 65 points and would be playing in Europe next season.
Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United were all relegated to the lower division.
