From Arsenal to West Ham, we round up the best Opta stats and facts from the 2016/17 Premier League season.
Arsenal finished outside the top four in the Premier League for the first time since 1995-96 (5th under Bruce Rioch).
Arsenal set a new record high of 75 points for the team finishing 5th in the Premier League era.
In fact, both Arsenal and Manchester United have finished outside of the top four of the top-flight for the first time since 1978-79.

Arsenal scored 17 headed goals in the Premier League this season; more than any other side.
This was the second consecutive season that Arsenal inflicted the heaviest Premier League defeat on the eventual Premier League champions. In 2015-16 they defeated Leicester City 5-2 away and this season they defeated Chelsea 3-0 at home.
Mesut Ozil created 12 goalscoring chances in Arsenal's win over Sunderland in May. This is a record by a single player in a Premier League match since Opta began collecting this metric in 2003-04.
Alexis Sanchez scored 15 away goals in the Premier League this season - the most by an Arsenal player in a single league campaign since Ted Drake in 1934-35 (also 15).
The latest goal scored in the Premier League this season was scored by Alexis Sanchez for Arsenal against Burnley on January 22 (97:14).
Eleven different English players have made 20+ Premier League appearances for Bournemouth this season. The last Premier League team to do this were Aston Villa in 2000-01 (also 11 players).

Chelsea's point tally of 93 was the second-highest seen in a Premier League season, after Chelsea - 95 points in 2004-05.
Between October and December 2016, Chelsea won 13 consecutive league games for the first time in their history - also equalling the top-flight record in a single season (13 - Arsenal in 2001/02).
Chelsea won home and away against 12 different opponents this season, equalling the Premier League record alongside Chelsea in 2004-05 and Manchester United in 2006-07.
Antonio Conte has won the league title in four successive seasons as a club coach after winning the Serie A title with Juventus in 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14.
Conte became the fourth Italian manager to win the English top-flight title after Carlo Ancelotti (2009-10), Roberto Mancini (2011-12) and Claudio Ranieri (2015-16).
The Italian is also the fourth manager to lift the Premier League trophy in his first season in England (Mourinho 2004-05, Ancelotti 2009-10 and Pellegrini 2013/14).
Chelsea (30 wins) have broken the Premier League record for most wins in a season (29, Chelsea in 2004/05 and 2005/06). The Blues are the first to do it in a 38-game English top-flight season.
Chelsea used all three substitutes in every Premier League game this season (114 in total) - they are only the second team to do this in a 38-game Premier League season, after Manchester City in 2014-15.
John Terry has now played more Premier League games for Chelsea than any other player (492).
John Terry scored in his 17th different Premier League season. Only Ryan Giggs (21 seasons), Paul Scholes (19 seasons) and Frank Lampard (18 seasons) have scored in more.
Diego Costa scored his 50th Premier League goal in what was his 85th game - the eighth fastest player to reach the milestone in the competition.
Costa became the 16th player to score in every month of a Premier League season, and first since Charlie Austin in 2014/15.
Costa became the third player to score 20+ goals in a Premier League season for Chelsea on two occasions (Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in 2000-01 & 2001-02 and Didier Drogba in 2006-07 & 2009-10).
Without Costa's 20 Premier League goals this season, Chelsea would have been 15 points worse off - the Spaniard's goals were worth more points than any other Premier League player this season.
Eden Hazard scored (16) Premier League goals this season - his best return in a single campaign in the competition.
Cesc Fabregas became the first Spaniard to make 300 appearances in the Premier League.
In May, Cesc Fabregas became the first player to make 10+ assists in six different Premier League seasons. He is also now in second place in the all-time assist charts in the competition behind Ryan Giggs (107 assists).
As well as Fabregas, Wayne Rooney also surpassed the 100-mark for Premier League assists in 2016-17 (101 assists).
Thirteen Premier League players have scored 100 goals before turning 30 but only one has recorded 100 assists before turning 30 - Cesc Fabregas (107).
Cesar Azpilicueta became the fourth outfield player in Premier League history to play every minute of a title-winning season (after Gary Pallister in 1992/93, John Terry in 2014/15 and Wes Morgan in 2015/16).
A Belgian Chelsea player has scored the title-deciding goal in each of the last three Premier League seasons (Batshuayi v West Brom in 2016/17, Hazard v Spurs in 2015/16 and v Palace in 2014/15).
Michy Batshuayi's title-winning goal for Chelsea at West Bromwich Albion was his first Premier League shot on target since September 24, 2016 and only his third overall in the competition.
Batshuayi's first 18 Premier League appearances came as a substitute. Only six players in Premier League history can better that tally - Alex Mathie, Sam Vokes, Nile Ranger and Paul Simpson (19), Stuart Wilson (21) and Bradley Wright-Phillips (30).
Crystal Palace became the first team to win on three consecutive Premier League trips to Anfield since Chelsea in October 2005.
Crystal Palace had the third-worst home record (20 points) in the Premier League. Only relegated Middlesbrough and Sunderland picked up fewer points at home.
Everton won 43 points at Goodison Park in the Premier League this season, their most in a top-flight campaign at home since 1989-90 (45).
Romelu Lukaku scored the 300th hat-trick in Premier League history, when he netted four against Bournemouth at Goodison Park in February 2017.
With his brace against Hull City in March, Lukaku became the first Everton player since Gary Lineker in 1985/86 to hit 20 league goals in a season.
Lukaku is also only the fourth player in Premier League history to score 80+ goals in the competition before turning 24 years old (also Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Wayne Rooney).

In suffering a 2-0 defeat to Sunderland in May, Hull City boss Marco Silva lost a home league match as a manager for the first time since March 2014 while manager of Portuguese side Estoril (W34 D7 L1).
Because of their opening day victory against Leicester City, Hull spent one more day on top of the Premier League than Tottenham did in 2016-17.
Hull City became the 26th different team to top the Premier League (on 13th August 2016). In fact, they became the eighth side to be top and bottom of the table within the same Premier League season.
Along with Hull, the only other sides to be top of the Premier League at the end of a day and be relegated in the same season are Charlton Athletic in 1998/99 and Bolton Wanderers in 2011/12.
Hull's relegation means that 22 of the 25 teams to be bottom of the Premier League at Christmas have ended that season in the relegation zone.
Hull gave away 13 penalties this season, the most of any side in a single Premier League campaign.
Hull won 15 points from losing positions - only Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton won more.

Thanks to their 4-0 away win at West Ham United in May, Liverpool won a Premier League match at a 52nd Premier League stadium - more than any other side.
Liverpool had 80.4 per cent possession in their away game at Burnley in August but still lost 2-0. This was the highest possession recorded by a losing side in a Premier League game since 2006-07.

Guardiola has suffered six league defeats as Manchester City boss this season, his highest tally in a single league season as a manager.
Guardiola suffered his heaviest defeat in league competition as a manager, losing 4-0 at Goodison Park in January.
This is the first-time Guardiola has finished outside the top two in a league season as a manager.
Antonio Conte became the first manager to record a league double over Guardiola in the Spaniard's coaching career.

Kevin De Bruyne assisted 18 goals for Manchester City in the Premier League this season - a record by a Man City player in a Premier League campaign.

This is the first time Jose Mourinho has finished outside the top three in a league season as a manager. 2016/17 also saw him record his lowest points total in a full season (previous lowest was 82 points with Porto in 2003-04, Inter Milan 2009-10 and Chelsea 2013-14).
Mourinho has now managed 250 Premier League games and has the most wins at this stage (158) and six more than Alex Ferguson (152/250).
Manchester United's win against Chelsea in April means Mourinho has now recorded at least one league victory against each of the 34 Premier League clubs that he's faced as a manager.

Sunderland spent 189 days bottom of the Premier League in 2016-17, with 110 of those coming in successive days from February 1st to the end of the season. This means that they spent 67% of the season in last place.
Sunderland have now finished bottom of the Premier League on three occasions (also 2002/03 and 2005/06), a joint-record with Nottingham Forest (1992/93, 1996/97, 1998/99).
Jack Rodwell broke the Premier League record for longest run of games started without winning, going 39 in a row without ending up on the winning side (two for Man City, 37 for Sunderland) before he started Sunderland's 4-0 away win over Crystal Palace.
Jermain Defoe became the fourth player to score 10+ goals in 10 different Premier League seasons, after Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard.

Bob Bradley became the first American to manage a team in the Premier League - of all the teams to have ever played in the Premier League, Swansea City are the closest to the United States of America in terms of distance.
Bradley lasted just 84 days in charge of Swansea City (October 4, 2016 - December 27, 2016) - this was the third shortest reign by a permanent Premier League manager after Rene Meulensteen at Fulham in 2013-14 (75 days) and Les Reed at Charlton in 2006-07 (40 days).
