Liverpool are one of seven teams to have won the Premier League title. However, it took almost three decades for the Reds to break their Premier League duck after last winning the English top-flight in 1990.

Liverpool are one of the most free-flowing attacking teams in the Premier League, or for that matter in Europe. In the last nine years, the Reds have scored fewer than 60 league goals in a season only once. They have never finished outside the top eight in any of their 29 previous campaigns in the Premier League.

Liverpool have quality in every position, be it their forwards, midfielders, defenders or goalkeepers. After eight games, they are the only unbeaten team in the English top flight and look set to become the second team to score 2000 Premier League goals.


#2 Arsenal - 1963

Arsenal are one of four teams to have won four Premier League titles. The Gunners have only finished outside the top ten once in the competition.

However, Arsenal's fortunes in the Premier League have been on the decline in recent seasons. They are coming off successive eighth-place finishes and have not finished in the top four since 2015-16.

Their last league triumph (2003-04) came almost two decades ago, but that was a historic triumph. The Gunners went through the entire season unbeaten, a first in the Premier League, earning the moniker 'Invincibles'.

Arsenal made a wretched start to their 2021-22 campaign, losing their first three games. But they have won three and drawn two of their next five to move to the cusp of the top half of the Premier League table.

Goals have seldom been a problem for the Gunners, as they have scored 50 goals in almost every Premier League campaign. With 37 more goals, Arsenal could become the second team to score 2000 Premier League goals, a milestone they could achieve this season.


#1 Manchester United - 2144

Manchester United are a record 13-time winners of the Premier League and hold a plethora of records in the competition.

They are the only team to score over 2000 Premier League goals and achieve a three-peat in the competition, among others. Although their last league title came almost a decade ago, United have assembled a star-studded team led by the returning Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.

The Red Devils may have stuttered in recent games. However, they have the personnel and pedigree to end their near decade-long Premier League title drought this season.
