#3 Chelsea: 95 and 50 points (2004-05 and 1995-96, 2015-16)
Chelsea have tasted tremendous success in the modern Premier League era and are one of England’s most decorated clubs. The Blues have won five league titles and two Champions League trophies since 2003, apart from other accolades.
Trending
The Premier League has seen several spectacular teams, and Chelsea’s 2004-05 squad is a definite inclusion. The Blues lost just one game and finished the season with 95 points, which is the fifth-highest points tally in top-flight history.
Chelsea’s lowest ever points tally of 50 has been achieved on two occasions, in the 1995-96 season and the 2015-16 season. The Blues were a mid-table outfit during most of the 90s and the lowly tally of 50 points wasn’t quite surprising.
However, Jose Mourinho’s last season with the club in 2015-16 was terribly disappointing. The Blues finished the season in 10th place on 50 points and it remains one of the worst ever title-defenses in league history.
#2 Liverpool: 99 and 52 (2019-20 and 2011-12)
Liverpool are currently one of the most feared sides across Europe. With the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Virgil van Dijk, and more, the Reds are formidable opposition.
The 2019-20 season was arguably the greatest in the Reds’ Premier League history. They went on to win the title at a canter and ended the campaign on 99 points. Liverpool lost just three games, against Watford, Manchester City and Arsenal. The season marked an end to a 30-year-long wait for the league title.
The Reds weren’t always this dominant, however. The early 2010s was a period of transition for Liverpool. Manager and club legend Kenny Dalglish was in charge during the 2011-12 season. But he saw his side put in subpar performances to finish the season in eighth on 52 points.
#1 Manchester City: 100 and 34 (2017-18 and 2000-01)
Manchester City were virtually anonymous at the start of the Premier League era. However, their fortunes have irreversibly changed since the takeover of the club by Abu Dhabi-based billionaires, City Football Group in 2008. City have a star-studded squad that has been dominating the Premier League for the past several seasons.
City’s record-breaking 2017-18 season saw them clinch the title in style, ending the campaign on 100 points, the highest in league history. The Sky Blues lost only to Liverpool and Manchester United in what was otherwise a flawless campaign.
The club’s lowest ever points tally of 34 came in the 2000-01 season. City won just eight games and lost 20 - a stat that is unimaginable today. They ended up getting relegated that season along with Coventry and Bradford City.
