Manchester City ended the campaign in second place. They finished behind the champions.

Erling Haaland emerged as the top Goalscorer for the season. His award was confirmed on Monday 31 may. No other player matched his total.

David Raya posted the highest number of Clean Sheets, a record verified on Monday 31 may. Meanwhile, Manchester United's survival in the top flight was confirmed on Thursday 1 July. Their continued presence ensures they remain in the Premier League for the next season.

Analysis

Arsenal's title win guarantees them a place in the upcoming Champions League group stage, bringing additional revenue and enhancing the club's profile. The victory also solidifies the manager's position and may influence transfer decisions ahead of the next campaign.

Finishing as runners-Up, Manchester City retain a Champions League berth but miss out on the league crown. The result could prompt a review of squad depth and tactical approaches as the club seeks to reclaim the title.

Clubs across Europe are likely to monitor his performance when planning future signings, though any transfer would depend on contractual terms.

David Raya's Clean-sheet record highlights his consistency and could attract interest from clubs seeking a reliable goalkeeper. Manchester United's avoidance of relegation preserves their broadcast and commercial income, yet the team must address the factors that brought them close to the drop zone to ensure stability next season.
