For the eighth time and the fourth consecutive season, Manchester City lifted the Premier League trophy marking an era of total dominance. The 2023/24 title race went down to the wire again but City managed to restrict Arsenal once more with the victory over West Ham on the final day. The holders seemed in control of their destiny for most of the campaign, despite some downturns. Another strong second half of the campaign showed their winning mentality.
Manchester City finished with 91 points from 38 matches, picking up 28 wins and losing just three times this Premier League season. They won the league with a two-point difference from runners-up Arsenal, scoring the most goals with 96 and having the second-best defence with only 34 goals conceded. Their superstar striker Erling Haaland grabbed the Golden Boot again with 27 goals. City also has the chance of a domestic double with the FA Cup final against rivals Manchester United on the horizon.
