Premier League team of the season: Salah, De Bruyne and Rice make best XI

The Premier League season will come to an end on Sunday, with Manchester City and Liverpool involved in a final-day title shoot-out.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at 11 players who have impressed in English football’s top flight this term.

The 24-year-old goalkeeper was relegated with Sheffield United last season and must have worried whether a top-flight return would happen. Not only did he achieve that, he ousted Bernd Leno as Arsenal number one and was a key component of their push for Champions League football. Ramsdale also made his England debut in November.

Still not 24, yet the England right-back completed the set of Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup trophies this term. Trademark quality delivery from the right provided a constant supply of Liverpool goals, while his defensive work was also much improved.

The Argentina defender arrived in English football in August from Italian club Atalanta and proved a major hit in north London. A no-nonsense centre-half who relishes physical battles, Romero provided aggression and balance to the Spurs defence. He really flourished under Antonio Conte in the second half of the season, playing key roles in some big team performances.

The Dutch colossus at the heart of the Liverpool defence was back to his best after his 2020-21 campaign had been wrecked by injury. In fact, it looked as if Van Dijk had never been away as he strolled through games. Superb in possession and aerially dominant, his recovery pace and ability to defend one-on-one situations allowed Liverpool to defend a high line.

Another fine season from the Portugal international, who is equally adept on the right or left flank. Top of the Premier League
