Premier League 2023/24 had Manchester City as a relentless champion and Aston Villa as the great revelation, turning the top of the table into a mix of control, surprise and plenty of unexpected xTears.

At the bottom, Sheffield Utd, Burnley and Luton went down together after the three promoted clubs found a season of constant punishment, too many goals conceded and perfect nights for the pain meter.
