Newcastle United enjoyed their best Premier League run in 20 years under Eddie Howe, finally qualifying for Champions League football once again.

Leicester City are also one of the teams with the biggest drops in points. Although they earned a respectable eighth-place finish last season, they could not do enough to stay in the Premier League this time, and have been relegated.
