Chelsea lead 1-0 courtesy of an absolute Moises Caicedo banger, while Dejan Kulusevski helps Ange Postecoglou's men to go 1-0 at Bramall Lane.

Player of the season, for a reason.

Nelson Semedo has been sent off after a nasty challenge on Mac Allister. Wolves down to ten.

Harvey Elliott and Mac Allister linking up on Klopp's final day as Liverpool manager is as poetic as it can get. 1-0 Liverpool.

Idrissa Gueye whips one past David Raya with a bit of help from Declan Rice to take Everton 0-1 up!

Arsenal 1-1 Everton. The Emirates Is Alive!

Mohammed Kudus gets one back at the Etihad and it's a goal of the highest order. West Ham are in it, and so are Arsenal. Game on.

45 mins of the highest order. You just cannot ask for anything more. We still don't have a winner. Foden was magical but Arsenal continue to fight.

We're now into the last 45 minutes of the season and we still don't have a winner. Strap yourselves in because this could be wild.

Raheem Sterling doubled Chelsea's lead before Enes Unal pulled one back in under 120 seconds to keep Bournemouth in the contest.

Crystal Palace continue to dominate the game at Selhurst Park and each of Palace's front three (Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze and Jean Mateta) are into double digits for the season with respect to goals.

Rodri makes it 3-1. Surely that's the title. Surely. Look at Rodri go, look at what it means. Pep Guardiola is under 30 minutes away. Manchester City are under 30 minutes away.

Three for Mateta, four for Crystal Palace, and Selhurst Park is buzzing.

Diogo Dalot opens the scoring for Manchester United on the south coast.

Two for Eze. Three for Mateta. Five for Palace.

Rasmus Hojlund doubles United's lead. 16th of the season for the Denmark forward. United would love all the momentum they get before the FA Cup final.

Kai Havertz gives Arsenal the lead with just a few minutes left. However, it will not be enough to go the league's distance.

Manchester City have done it. Yet again. The Cityzens have now won six out of the last seven Premier League seasons.

The last few years have been very special for everyone at Manchester City but to have captained this Club to a fourth straight Premier League title is something I will cherish forever. The Premier League is the benchmark by which everyone is measured.

There are so many people I would like to thank but I have to start with Pep, the backroom staff, my colleagues in the dressing room and everyone who works so hard across the Club, day in and day out

Arsenal are the third-best second-placed team in the history of the English Premier League. Liverpool hold the record as the best team not to win the Premier League — accumulating 97 points in 2018-19 and 92 in 2021-22 but coming second in both campaigns.

Erling Haaland is the 2023/24 Premier League Golden Boot winner with 27 to his name.

2020/21.

2021/22.

2022/23.

2023/24.

Manchester City are the first-ever side in English football history to win four back-to-back top-flight titles.
