The Premier League 2000/2001 ended with Manchester United as champions and Arsenal as runners-up. Jimmy Hasselbaink (Chelsea) was the topscorer of the league with 23 goals. Second place for Marcus Stewart (Ipswich Town, 19 goals) and third for the couple Henry (Arsenal) and Viduka (Leeds United) with 17 goals.
Merlin published the official sticker collection of the Premier League 2000/2001, being the eight album since 1994. The collection opens with the contents and an introductory page including two large size stickers: the Premier League logo and trophy. Then the 20 competing clubs are shown in alphabetical order from Arsenal to West Ham. Each club has got four pages with a total of 20 stickers. In the first two pages there are details and results of the club with four stickers: the club badge (shiny), the team photo (large size), the home kit, and the superstar (large size). The superstar stickers were released in two versions, a regular one and an ultrafoil sticker. Both versions could be found inside the packets, with a proportion 1:12. In the last two pages of each club the squad is presented with 16 player stickers.
In the center of the album, the section "McDonald's New Generation" includes six stickers: the logo and five young talents in action: Barry, Gerrard, Cole, Wright, and Brown.
