How is the Premier League determined?
The Premier League is won by the team who accumulates the most number of points throughout the 38 match season. Teams earn three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. In the case of two teams having the same total of points for the entire season, the winner of the league is determined by goal differences and, if necessary, number of goals.
