The figures combines UK broadcast revenues (both an equal share split among clubs and then extra cash every time a team's match is broadcast on TV), prize money for finishing seventh, central commercial revenues and international broadcast payments from throughout the 2018/19 season.

Liverpool were paid the most at £152m.

Everton received more money than Wolves despite finishing below them in the table, owing to more of their matches being shown on TV.

Of Wolves' £127m, £26.9m was for finishing seventh.

The equal share of TV money for each club works out at around £80m, while the rest came via individual TV income.

Wolves were screened 15 times throughout the season.
