If there's one thing we've been able to count on in the most unpredictable Premier League season in recent memory it has been uncertainty.

Back in September there was uncertainty over whether the 2020/21 campaign would start at all and plenty of uncertainty over whether it will grind to a halt at any given moment ever since.

There's been uncertainty over teams and players and form and fitness and a great deal of uncertainty over results with bottom beating top with more regularity than ever before.
