#1 Arsenal 1997-98
After finishing in the third position the previous season, Arsene Wenger’s men seemed ready to challenge Man Utd for the league title. United had won 4 of the previous 5 league titles but Cantona’s sudden retirement surely had an adverse effect on the team.
Man Utd seemed to have put that behind them as they romped to the top of the league and maintained that position from October up until April. Another famous league victory was close.

Arsenal, meanwhile, were struggling in upper midtable around 6th and 5th position. They ended the first half of the season in 6th position and 13 points behind the leaders Manchester United.
Tables started turning as the new year reeled in. Arsenal went unbeaten right up until the 37th round of matches. From 13 points behind, Arsenal had run over the league and won the championship on 3rd May 1998 with 4-0 win vs Everton. The club captain, Tony Adams, scored the final goal and Arsene Wenger became the first non-British manager to win the league.
