Here we take a look at some of the standout statistics from this season's competition.

- Manchester City scored 100 goals at the Etihad Stadium, equalling the record (set by themselves in 2018/19) for home goals in all competitions in a season by an English top-flight club.

- Nottingham Forest’s starting XI against Tottenham Hotspur in August was all-British, the first entirely British and Northern Irish starting XI for a Premier League match since Blackpool’s against Man Utd in May 2011.

- There were 21 goals scored in the three matches played on 8 May (Fulham 5-3 Leicester, Brighton & Hove Albion 1-5 Everton and Nott'm Forest 4-3 Southampton), the most on a single day with a maximum of three matches in the competition's history. 

- There were 43 years and 308 days between the ages of Tottenham Hotspur's Ryan Mason and Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson when they met on the touchline, the biggest gap between two managers facing off in Premier League history. 

- At Fulham, both Scott McKenna and Willy Boly were substituted in the seventh minute for Nott'm Forest – the earliest any side has ever subbed off two of their starters. 

- Nott'm Forest had only 18 per cent possession in their 1-0 win over Arsenal in May, the lowest tally on record (since 2003/04) for a winning team.

- Palace became the first team on record (since 2003/04) to fail to have a single shot on target in three consecutive matches (v Liverpool, Aston Villa and Man City). 

- Wolverhampton Wanderers had eight different Portuguese players in their starting line-up at West Ham, the most different starters from a specific nation outside of England any team has had in a match.
