Cesar Azpilicueta joins ever-present Premier League winners' club

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at the exclusive club.

GARY PALLISTER, MANCHESTER UNITED, 1992-93

The England central defender was an integral figure in partnership with Steve Bruce as United won the competition in its first year after rebranding. Pallister showed perfect timing to score his first goal of the season in stoppage time against Blackburn in the season's penultimate game, United's last at Old Trafford.

JOHN TERRY, CHELSEA, 2014-15

It took 22 years for anyone to equal Pallister's achievement as Terry led the Blues to the title, the captain scoring five goals and anchoring a defence which conceded a league-low 32.

WES MORGAN, LEICESTER, 2015-16

Morgan immediately emulated Terry by playing every minute as captain for the surprise champions, forming a strong central defensive partnership with Robert Huth and contributing a vital winning goal against Southampton and an equaliser against Manchester United late in the season.

CESAR AZPILICUETA, CHELSEA, 2016-17

The Spaniard produced consistent displays, mostly after moving from full-back to central defence as part of Antonio Conte's switch to a back three. "It's something that I'm really proud of," he told Sky Sports 1 afterwards. "I try to be ready always and the manager, from the first day, was confident in me." Like Pallister, Azpilicueta scored his only goal of the season in the penultimate game, against Watford.

GOALKEEPERS

Four keepers have been ever-present in a title-winning season, including Peter Schmeichel with Manchester United in 1992-93 and his son Kasper with Leicester last season. Jens Lehmann, in Arsenal's "Invincible" season of 2003-04, and Joe Hart with Manchester City in 2011-12 are the others.
