The closest title battle came in 2012, of course, when Manchester City edged out Manchester United on goal difference.
At the other end of the scale, United finished 18 points clear in the 1999/2000 season, with 91 points to runners-up Arsenal's 73.
United won 11 straight games to close out that particular campaign, and their 1999/2000 squad is one of four to end a campaign more than 10 points clear.
Jose Mourinho's first title-winners came closest to that 18-point margin, finishing 12 points clear of Arsenal after a season in which they only lost once in the league.
Arsene Wenger's invincibles were only 11 clear of a Chelsea outfit managed by none other than Claudio Ranieri, while Manchester United had the same winning margin in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season, despite taking just five points from their last four games.
Two further United title wins were secured with a 10-point margin of victory, but all other Premier League champions could be classed as less 'runaway' than Leicester's class of 2016.
Not bad for a 5,000/1-shot, eh?
