A look at the men who have starred in this season's top fight.

The Premier League season finally draws to a close on Sunday with Liverpool's first title in 30 years having been sealed a month ago.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the men who have lit up England's top flight during the most unusual of campaigns.

Nick Pope

Keeper Nick Pope has been a key figure in Burnley's creditable top-half finish. Going into the final game of the campaign at home to Brighton, the 28-year-old England international has recorded 15 clean sheets.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

It would be easy to forget that England full-back Trent Alexander Arnold was only 20 years old at the start of the campaign, such is the impact he has made since bursting into the Liverpool team. Defensively tenacious and hugely productive going forward, he is maturing by the week under Jurgen Klopp.

Jonny Evans

Virgil Van Dijk's form last season as Liverpool were crowned European champions was always going to be difficult to match, and the 29-year-old Holland star has perhaps dipped slightly below the highest of standards he set for himself this time around. However, he has remained an immense presence and calming influence at the heart of Klopp's defence.

Andy Robertson

Scotland left-back Andy Robertson has made himself an integral part of Liverpool's finely-tuned machine. A defender who likes defending, the 26-year-old is equally adept going forward and like Alexander-Arnold, provides a crucial supply line.

Jordan Henderson

Perhaps an unsung hero outside the red half of Liverpool – and even the Anfield faithful took some persuading initially – 30-year-old Reds captain Jordan Henderson has led from the front. A tireless midfielder whose ability on the ball and leadership skills are valued not only by Klopp, but also by England boss Gareth Southgate.

Kevin De Bruyne

There are few remaining superlatives to describe midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, a man who sees passes others do not and who has the ability to deliver them with pinpoint accuracy. Manchester City have been indebted to the 29-year-old Belgium international for his assists and goals as he has taken midfield play to new levels.

Raheem Sterling

Raheem Sterling's development as a player has continued apace and a second successive hugely impressive season for both Manchester and England has simply enhanced his reputation. The 25-year-old's influence has grown too off the pitch, where he has become a passionate campaigner for equality.

Sadio Mane

At 33, Jamie Vardy may be approaching the autumn of his career, but his potency is not waning. He heads into the final weekend of the campaign at the top of the Premier League goalscoring charts with 23 and having joined the 100 club with his strike against Crystal Palace on July 4.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

It may have been a difficult season for Arsenal, who can finish no higher than eighth, but 31-year-old Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been a shining light for the Gunners. Without his 20 league goals to date, Mikel Arteta's men would have been significantly worse off.
