The 2022/23 Premier League season, once again, highlighted Man City’s dominance, as they clinched their fifth title in six years. Despite Arsenal leading the table for a record 248 days, City’s late-season surge, combined with Arsenal’s inexperienced side stumbling, secured the championship for Pep Guardiola’s side. Erling Haaland’s remarkable debut season saw him net a record-breaking 36 goals, earning him the Golden Boot.
The battle for European spots was intense, with Newcastle securing a Champions League berth for the first time in two decades. Liverpool, on the other hand, failed to even make it into the top four, something that seemed to be impossible under legendary boss Jurgen Klopp. At the other end of the table, former champions Leicester City faced relegation back down to the Championship.
