Noticeable how the restart in empty stadiums favoured the big teams
At lockdown Leicester looked assured of a Champs league place, and Wolves and Sheff U were challenging for one. In the end Leicester were overhauled by Chelsea & United while Wolves and Sheff U missed out on Europe altogether.
But then support of a home crowd is a key way in which lesser teams can make up for the opposition having better players. Without that factor it just became a straight "how good are your players" contest and the big boys came out on top.
