The 2020-21 Premier League season was unlike any other. With the coronavirus pandemic forcing the 2019-20 season to conclude in late July, teams had a little over six weeks to reboot, reset and regroup. From there, the grueling calendar took hold, with a compressed league schedule and cup competitions squeezed around international breaks filled with extra games.
Players and club staff would endure positive COVID-19 tests, periods of isolation, rescheduled games -- Everton vs. Man City the most high-profile over the festive period -- and almost an entire season without fans. ESPN talked to people around the Premier League to get their perspectives on how they navigated this most unique of campaigns and what they learned through the pandemic.
