Here’s a look at the 10 teams from Arsenal through to Manchester United.
Arsenal
Position: 2nd
High: Beating Man United 3-0 early in the season when everything clicked into place quite nicely
Low: Second half meltdown. In February they were just three points off Leicester but finished 10 points behind. This was meant to be their year and they crumbled
Star man: Mesut Ozil - Lead the PL in assists (19) and easily had his best season in an Arsenal jersey
Coach: Arsene Wenger - Under severe criticism after late season collapse, needs a big summer in transfer market (we’ve heard this before, right?) to mount a serious title challenge next season
Grade: B+ - Second place finish may be a little flattering when all is said and done, but 20 straight years of finishing top four and 21 years of finishing ahead of Spurs sounds pretty darn good
Aston Villa
Position: 20th
High: 1-0 win on the opening day at Bournemouth. That was as good as it got
Low: Entire campaign was a low but 6-0 defeat against Liverpool was embarrassing. Players downed tools
Star man: Idrissa Gueye - His play went unnoticed but I’d be stunned if a PL club doesn’t pick him up this summer. Beast in the engine room
Coach: Tim Sherwood, Remi Garde, Eric Black - Sherwood was unlucky to get canned so early, Garde never stood a chance and Black just patched things up. Now they’re managerless
Grade: F: Probably don’t even deserve this. First-ever relegation from PL, equaled a club record of 11-straight defeats as they were relegated. Woeful and potential new owner has lots to sort out
Bournemouth

Position: 16th
High: Beating Chelsea 2-1 away from home in December. Belief grew massively after that
Low: Probably the final few weeks. Played very well but seemed to show much more fragility. Lost six of last eight games
Star man: Charlie Daniels - Has been a stallion from left back rampaging up the flank. Callum Wilson or Benik Afobe would’ve won it had they played throughout the season
Coach: Eddie Howe - He’s done a tremendous job to take this team through the leagues and kept them up comfortably in first-ever PL season. Now, can he kick them on?
Grade: B+: If you would’ve offered the Cherries survival at start of the season they would’ve taken it. They’ve played with style and racked up big wins as well as staying up
Chelsea
Position: 10th
High: Late equalizer at home against Tottenham to halt Spurs’ hopes of winning the PL. Also, reaching last eight of UCL was a bonus
Low: Any of the home defeats against Bournemouth, Palace, Southampton in early season. Mourinho and his players shown up, badly
Star man: Willian - Especially in the early part of the season as he scored free kicks and was the one player who turned up consistently
Coach: Jose Mourinho, Guus Hiddink - The shocking demise of Mourinho was incredible and the Eva Carneiro situation played a huge part in that. Hididnk patched things up nicely
Grade: D: The worst title defense in PL history as Chelsea collapsed and it cost Mourinho his job. The players simply weren’t prepared and now Antonio Conte has arrived to whip them into shape
Crystal Palace

Position: 15th
High: Reaching the FA Cup final against Manchester United this weekend
Low: Pretty much the whole of 2016. Around midseason they were challenging for the top six but then went on a terrible run, wining just two PL games in 2016
Star man: Joel Ward - He’s been very consistent and popped up with a few important goals. The main attacking threats and Yohan Cabaye faded badly
Coach: Alan Pardew - It all started so well as Palace were tough to beat and fantastic on the break but the way it faded will leave a sour taste in Pards’ mouth
Grade: C+: A season which promised so much has slightly under delivered. If they win the FA Cup it is a success, but PL form faded badly
Everton
Position: 11th
High: Reaching both the FA Cup and Capital One Cup semifinals was a plus but in terms of PL, maybe the 3-0 wins away at Stoke and Southampton were the high points
Low: The 4-0 hammering at Anfield against Liverpool summed up the demise of John Stones, Everton’s defense and Martinez. So many poor home defeats too
Star man: Romelu Lukaku - Scored 18 goals and although he missed plenty of chances, shudder to think were Everton would be without him
Coach: Roberto Martinez - Fired before the final game of the season, Martinez was walking the plank after another stagnant season. Defensively so naive and appeared to lose the locker room
Grade: D: A season where they should have really challenged for the top six, given players at their disposal, turned into a farce. Martinez simply didn’t learn from his mistakes
Leicester City

Position: 1st
High: Pretty much the whole season but the 3-1 win at Manchester City announced they were legit title contenders. Never looked back and coasted to the title in the end
Low: Defeat at Arsenal in the last second in February thanks to Welbeck’s goal. They responded by going the rest of the season unbeaten. A brief low point
Star man: Riyad Mahrez - Hard to single out one player but Mahrez added goals, assists and magic all season long. He had the x-factor
Coach: Claudio Ranieri - He simply pulled off one of the greatest managerial jobs in sporting history. 64-year-old Italian will have a statue built of him in Leicester
Grade: A+: If I could give them a higher mark I would. Every single player performed to 100 percent of their potential, Ranieri managed the situation marvelously and they are worthy champs
Liverpool

Position: 8th
High: Beating Manchester City 4-1 away, late win at Norwich, beating Dortmund in dramatic fashion in Europa League and reaching the Europa League final against Sevilla
Low: Losing against West Ham 3-0 at home or losing at Man United 3-1. Total lack of direction under Brendan Rodgers
Star man: Roberto Firmino - The Brazilian attacker has got better and better under Klopp. Expect him to have a huge season next year
Coach: Brendan Rodgers, Jurgen Klopp - The writing was on the wall for Rodgers and after a slow start he was replaced by Klopp. The German is a perfect fit for Liverpool’s character
Grade: C+: Things are starting to take shape but you still can’t get over the fact that two years ago this club almost won the title. They spent most of this season in midtable
Manchester City

Position: 4th
High: Beating Chelsea 3-0 early on, winning the League Cup and reaching the UCL semifinals for first-time ever
Low: The way they limped over the line in the second half of the season once they found out Guardiola was coming in
Star man: Sergio Aguero - Scored 24 goals and is an absolute machine. Kevin de Bruyne was a close second
Coach: Manuel Pellegrini - Delivered two League Cups and one PL trophy in three years in charge, plus three-straight UCL knockout berths and UCL semi this season. Decent but not great
Grade: B-: Did the bare minimum in sealing a top four spot for next season. There will be a lot of changes under new manager Guardiola this summer
Manchester United

Position: 5th
High: Beating Man City away from home in league, reaching the FA Cup final
Low: Defeats against Bournemouth, Norwich in PL, Liverpool in Europa League and hammerings at Arsenal and Tottenham
Star man: Anthony Martial - Yes, they paid a ridiculous amount of money for him but he is worth every penny. Huge future
Coach: Louis van Gaal - It remains to be seen if he will be around for the third and final year of his contract but with Jose Mourinho lurking it seems unlikely. Regression in full flow
Grade: C-: After money they spent last summer finishing outside the top four is unthinkable. Yes, they had injuries but Van Gaal didn’t deliver the minimum of top four. Fresh impetus needed
