It's been an amazing Premier League season, with the title race between Liverpool and Manchester City going down to the wire. Records are being broken, and we've also got four English teams in the two European finals, the first time any nation has achieved such a feat. So, what did Sportsmail's experts Danny Murphy and Jermaine Jenas think of the season? Read on to find out their picks for best player, best manager, and many more. It has been an incredible Premier League title race between Manchester City and Liverpool Best player Murphy: Virgil van Dijk Not only have Virgil van Dijk's own displays been outstanding, he's improved everyone around him in the Liverpool defence as well. Jenas: Raheem Sterling Virgil van Dijk has been brilliant. But we knew that Liverpool had defensive issues. It was always going to be easier for him to stand out. For Sterling to do that in an already magnificent City attack shows just how phenomenal he is. It comes down to City's Raheem Sterling and Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk for player of the year Best manager Murphy: Jurgen Klopp You could make a case for Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola or Mauricio Pochettino if he wins the Champions League. But for Klopp to mount a title challenge and get to a European final is amazing. Jenas: Pep Guardiola A close call between Guardiola and Klopp. But the consistency shown by City to claw back that gap to Liverpool at the turn of the year has been relentless. They've beaten Spurs, United, Burnley and Leicester. Such pristine football. There's no doubting that Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola have been the best managers Best match Murphy: Man City 2 Liverpool 1 In the Premier League, it's Manchester City's 2-1 win against Liverpool at the Etihad. The quality allied to the intensity made it a brilliant watch. The most astonishing moment of drama came in the Champions League when Spurs scored their winner against Ajax deep into injury-time. Best goal Murphy: Vincent Kompany v Leicester I loved Arsenal's team goal earlier in the season scored by Aaron Ramsey but in terms of brilliance and importance, the incredible strike by Vincent Kompany against Leicester on Monday night takes some beating. Jenas: Andros Townsend v Manchester City I know Kompany's strike was probably the one that won the title but the goal of the season, for me, comes down to technique. Andros Townsend will never hit a ball like that again. The way it moves, the cleanness of the strike. Will Vincent Kompany's stellar strike be the goal that grants Manchester City the title? Best signing Murphy: Joao Moutinho For £5million, Joao Moutinho at Wolves has been an outstanding piece of business. He is calm, experienced, links up play, controls tempo and has helped younger team-mates such as Ruben Neves. He's so reliable and a major factor in Wolves' wonderful season. Jenas: James Maddison He has been outstanding. He was a good player at Norwich but what we have seen from his first Premier League campaign — from his creativity, his free-kicks — he will kick on again at Leicester. Greatest flops Murphy: Manchester United It will make people laugh because of my Liverpool connections, but I have to go with Manchester United. It has been a disastrous season — they have completely failed to deliver. People can debate who is to blame but the bottom line is they are well below what's needed. Jenas: Manchester United Everyone can see United have had a poor season but the biggest failing for me was how they slipped back again after winning all those games under Solskjaer. How they have allowed it to get back to where it was before? Where's the heart? It feels like proof it was not all Jose Mourinho's fault. Manchester United have had a woeful season, proof that perhaps it wasn't all Mourinho's fault What made me angry Murphy: James Maddison and Patrick Bamford Players trying to get others sent off makes me mad, whether it's simulation or waving imaginary cards at the referee. James Maddison, a great talent, didn't cover himself in glory getting Ainsley Maitland-Niles of Arsenal in bother. As for Patrick Bamford against Aston Villa, embarrassing. Jenas: Racism returning Racism in the stands which has not been dealt with strongly enough. On an international level, they have got to start banning countries from competitions. The great thing Sterling has done, in questioning the media's role in the perception of black players, is to force everyone to have that conversation. That is a huge positive. The issue is outside of football. In the streets, in schools, in local communities, in homes. That is where you need to hit it head on. What made me laugh Murphy: Very sorry Trent! At my own expense. I spent 10 minutes on the radio referring to Liverpool's great young full-back as Alexander Trent-Arnold. Boy, I've had stick ever since. Nothing I've said has been picked up so fast. Sorry, Trent! Jenas: Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham's Champions League win v Man City When Sterling scored what looked to be a late winner for Man City, I had my eyes on Pochettino. He ripped off his jacket, his jumper, his tie. He couldn't take the layers off quickly enough only then to realise it was not actually all over! Mauricio Pochettino had a wonderful reaction after beating Man City in the Champions League Best home fans Murphy: Newcastle United I like the way Newcastle United fans backed Rafa Benitez and the players during difficult times. I'm sure it was one of the reasons they were able to turn their home form around and survive quite comfortably. Jenas: Tottenham It's hard not to go with Anfield and the support they bring to the table — but I have to take my hat off to Spurs fans. They kept being told they were getting their new stadium and could have spent the season angry and annoyed. But now they are home, the atmosphere is incredible. Surprise package Murphy: James Maddison I didn't know a lot about James Maddison at Norwich last year but he's taken to the Premier League like a duck to water. Quick-thinking, intelligent on the ball, a genuine prospect. Just cut out the simulation! Jenas: Watford Wolves have been impressive but Watford have been even more of a surprise. They are on course for a top-10 finish and have reached the FA Cup final. Javi Gracia has done a superb job. James Maddison has done an outstanding job playing for Leicester City this season Must do better Murphy: Alexis Sanchez What has happened to Alexis Sanchez. It is very strange. He is one of my favourite players but has been so disappointing at Manchester United. I think they should keep him, if he stays he will have a big point to prove. Jenas: Brighton I worry a bit for Chris Hughton. I have the sense the fans are getting restless with the style of play at the Amex. He's a pragmatist, but he has got to get that place lifted. Watch out for Murphy: Morgan Gibbs-White (Wolves) The England Under 19 international is versatile and has the vision to play in midfield or off the centre-forward Raul Jimenez. He's a real talent and Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo will give him more football time next year. England U19 international Morgan Gibbs-White is definitely one to look out for next season Jenas: Leicester City I was watching Leicester play against Man City and I kept thinking: 'This team are better than United'. The front three of Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial is possibly better than Leicester's but look at the players in Leicester's defence and midfield: Ricardo Pereira, Harry Maguire, Ben Chilwell, Wilfred Ndidi, Maddison. The way Brendan Rodgers has them playing, you can see Leicester breaking into that top six. All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
