5 closest title races in Premier League history 

#2 1997/98 Season: Winner - Arsenal, Runners Up - Manchester United

Captain Tony Adams and Arsene Wenger celebrate the title together

Arsenal and Manchester United had a well-publicised rivalry throughout the late nineties and early 21st century, and, it was the Arsene Wenger's side that was victorious in the 97/98 season.

Yet again another title decided by only 1 point, Manchester United were leading the title race by 12 points, though Arsenal had 3 games in hand over them. The Gunners eventually beat Alex Ferguson's team on their own turf, which proved to be a vital turning point in the season. From then on, Arsenal went on a title-winning 8 match consecutive win streak and was then crowned Premier League champions.

Had Arsenal lost or drawn any of those matches, or, if the result at Old Trafford was different, perhaps Manchester United would have 21 titles to their name...

Next? Perhaps the one most modern day fans would have been waiting for, and there's no prize for guessing which season we're referring to.
