When Project Restart became a reality, the major story was Liverpool's renewed title challenge, and when they would finally end 30 years of hurt to claim an unprecedented Premier League triumph.
Since the league title was sealed, observers have focused on other sub-plots in the division, from the battle for the Champions League spots to the feeble efforts of the teams trying to avoid relegation.
Perhaps the most interesting story has been the influence of three supreme young talents: Bukayo Saka, Mason Greenwood and Christian Pulisic since the restart, with their impact generating the kind of buzz at Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea respectively that has rarely been felt in recent years.
