Besides Manchester City, thirty-five clubs played Premier League football between 2009/10 and 2017/18. Each one has its own story without City: the places won and lost, the points taken off City, and the money City paid them.

• Arsenal

  2016/17 without City: Arsenal third, not fifth, and into the Champions League group stage. Add second place in 2013/14 and three seasons with no play-off round, and the decade reads differently. City’s £71.0m for four players goes.

• Aston Villa

  Fifth in 2009/10 without City, a point off the top four. Twelfth, not ninth, in 2010/11 once Darren Bent’s winner goes. Relegated in 2015/16 either way. And seven seasons of players moving both ways between Villa and City.

• Birmingham City

  Three draws and one defeat in four league games against City. Take City out and those points go, and in 2010/11, the season Birmingham won the League Cup, they finish a goal behind Wolves and go down anyway.

  • Birmingham City, 2009/10
  • Birmingham City, 2010/11

  Sold to City: no players Birmingham City's transfers →

• Blackburn Rovers

  Eighth, not tenth, in 2009/10 after losing both games to City. Relegated in 2011/12 either way. And £18.0m in reported fees for Roque Santa Cruz, who was back at Blackburn on loan from City in January 2011.

  • Blackburn Rovers, 2010/11
  • Blackburn Rovers, 2011/12

• Blackpool

  Blackpool took nothing off City in 2010/11, so they keep all 39 points. Without City that is enough: 16th of 19, two clear of the drop. For real they went down on the final day.

  • Blackpool, 2010/11

  Sold to City: no players Blackpool's transfers →

• Bolton Wanderers

  Beaten twice by City in 2010/11, Bolton climb further than anyone in the rebuilt table: 14th to tenth. A year later they are relegated on 36 points, one behind QPR, with City or without them.

  • Bolton Wanderers, 2009/10
  • Bolton Wanderers, 2010/11
  • Bolton Wanderers, 2011/12

  Sold to City: no players Bolton Wanderers' transfers →

• AFC Bournemouth

  Six league games against City, six defeats, two goals scored. Nothing comes off, so every move is the table shifting around them, and in 2016/17 that means seventh, not ninth: their best rebuilt finish.

  • AFC Bournemouth, 2015/16
  • AFC Bournemouth, 2016/17
  • AFC Bournemouth, 2017/18

  Sold to City: no players AFC Bournemouth's transfers →

• Brighton & Hove Albion

  Brighton’s only Premier League season in these nine is 2017/18. Beaten 2–0 at home and 3–1 away by City, they keep all 40 points. Take City out and 15th becomes 14th: City’s place, nothing more.

  • Brighton & Hove Albion, 2017/18

  Sold to City: no players Brighton & Hove Albion's transfers →

• Burnley

  Burnley took four points off City in 2014/15, level with Arsenal for the most of any club, including a 1–0 win in March. Take City out and those points go: last of 19, behind QPR by a single goal.

• Cardiff City

  Cardiff’s first Premier League win was 3–2 against City in August 2013, in their first top-flight home game for 51 years. Take City out and it goes: 30 points become 27, and Cardiff still go down.

  • Cardiff City, 2013/14

  Sold to City: no players Cardiff City's transfers →

• Chelsea

  Chelsea took 21 points off City in 18 league games. Take City out and all 21 go, yet the three titles stay put. The change comes in 2017/18: fourth, not fifth, and the Champions League.

• Crystal Palace

  Palace beat City 2–1 in 2015 and held them 0–0 on New Year’s Eve 2017, ending an 18-game winning run. Take City out and both results go: Everton pass Palace in one season, Bournemouth in the other.

• Everton

  Fourth in 2013/14, a Champions League play-off place, without a single extra point. The same rebuild wipes out four straight league wins over City and £81.5m in reported fees for Lescott, Rodwell and Stones.

• Fulham

  Ten league games against City: three draws, seven defeats, no wins. Take City out and Fulham finish sixth in 2010/11, level with Everton and ahead on goal difference. In 2013/14 they still go down, two points from safety.

• Huddersfield Town

  One season, one point off City: the 0–0 at the Etihad on 6 May 2018. Take City out and it goes. Huddersfield drop behind Southampton on goal difference and are still safe, three points clear of the drop.

  • Huddersfield Town, 2017/18

  Sold to City: no players Huddersfield Town's transfers →

• Hull City

  Hull beat City 2–1 in February 2010 and still went down. Take City out and that win goes, and Hull go down anyway. The same fate in 2014/15 and 2016/17. The one lift is 2013/14: 16th becomes 13th.

• Leicester City

  The 3–1 at the Etihad, Huth twice and Mahrez, comes off. So does the 0–0 at home. Leicester are still champions in 2015/16, by the same ten points. Then Vardy’s hat-trick against City goes, and 2016/17 drops a place.

• Liverpool

  Liverpool took 27 points off City in 18 league games. All 27 go, and Liverpool still top the rebuilt 2013/14 table, three clear of Arsenal. Fifth arrives twice. Sterling’s £44.0m goes.

• Manchester United

  Agüero’s goal has no table to land in. City’s 100 points leave with them. Take City out of 2009/10–2017/18 and United are champions four times, three of them in a row, and fourth in 2015/16 as well.

• Middlesbrough

  Middlesbrough never lost to City in 2016/17: 1–1 at the Etihad, 2–2 at home. Take City out and those two points go. They finish 18th of 19, 14 points from safety, and still go down.

  • Middlesbrough, 2016/17

  Sold to City: no players Middlesbrough's transfers →

• Newcastle United

  Newcastle took one point off City in 14 league games. Take City out and they finish fourth in 2011/12, four clear of fifth, and still go into the Europa League: Chelsea, the holders, had the Champions League place.

• Norwich City

  Norwich won at City on the final day of 2012/13. Take City out and that win goes, and so do three places, the biggest fall in the league. A season earlier, losing 5–1 and 6–1 to City lifted them from 12th to ninth.

• Portsmouth

  The first Premier League club to enter administration were docked nine points and went down in April 2010. Take City out and they lose nothing, because they took nothing from City: 19th of 19, fifteen points short of safety.

  • Portsmouth, 2009/10

  Sold to City: no players Portsmouth's transfers →

• Queens Park Rangers

  The final day of 2011/12 belongs to City. Take City out and QPR still finish a point clear of Bolton. In 2014/15 City’s 6–0 relegated them for real; without City they climb off the bottom and still go down.

  • Queens Park Rangers, 2011/12
  • Queens Park Rangers, 2012/13
  • Queens Park Rangers, 2014/15

  Sold to City: no players Queens Park Rangers' transfers →

• Reading

  Reading lost both games to City in 2012/13 and went down. Take City out and they move one place, City’s own, and still go down, eight points short. Three players came from City across the nine seasons, none for a reported fee.

  • Reading, 2012/13

  Sold to City: no players Reading's transfers →

• Southampton

  Two seasons, two fifth places, 60 points each time. Without City, Southampton finish two points off the top four in 2015/16, and Mané’s hat-trick against City and Pochettino’s first win as manager both come off.

  • Southampton, 2012/13

• Stoke City

  Four 1–1 draws with City at home in four seasons. Two wins, both gone. Without City, Stoke climb beyond the free place four times, stay ninth when everyone else below City moves, and still go down in 2017/18.

  • Stoke City, 2009/10

• Sunderland

  Four home wins over City, all 1–0, in four straight seasons. Without City, Sunderland lose every one: down three places in 2010/11, the only club to fall in 2011/12, and safe on goal difference in 2012/13.

• Swansea City

  Swansea beat City once in 14 league games, and it cost City the top of the table. Take City out and the win goes, Swansea stay 11th, and the £36.0m City paid for Sinclair and Bony goes too.

• Tottenham Hotspur

  Five top-four finishes for real, and one of them didn’t count. Take City out and Spurs are in the top four in eight seasons of nine, and a point off the title in 2017/18. The one miss is 2013/14.

  • Watford, 2017/18

  Sold to City: no players Watford's transfers →

• West Bromwich Albion

• Wigan Athletic

  The FA Cup winners who went down. Take City out of the 2012/13 league and Wigan catch Sunderland on 36 points, then lose on goal difference. Relegated either way, by the narrowest margin the table allows.

  • Wigan Athletic, 2009/10

  • Wigan Athletic, 2011/12

  Three Premier League seasons, and one of them turns over. Wolves beat City once in six league games, and that win kept them up. Take City out and it goes, Blackpool stay up, and Wolves take the drop instead.
