Liverpool: 1st
McNulty's pre-season prediction: 3rd
Worthy winners of a 20th title. Liverpool dominated the Premier League from an early stage and never looked like slipping up as they moved relentlessly while others faltered. A brilliant first season for head coach Arne Slot, who made what many regarded as the impossible task of succeeding Jurgen Klopp look so much easier than it was.
Mohamed Salah was the inspiration, but this Liverpool team had strength, quality and consistency in all areas. They can now add power from the ultimate position of strength, with Bayer Leverkusen's brilliant Florian Wirtz potentially on the way in a £125m British record deal.
