Ranking the 5 clubs with the highest number of wins in Premier League history

The Premier League might have been established in controversial circumstances, but it has grown into a giant ever since. The league has the right mix of glitz, glamor, top stars and scintillating footballing action. It is also one of the most competitive sports leagues in the world.

There are still the dominant Premier League clubs who have won more

While the Premier League is now more competitive than ever, some biggies remain a cut above the rest. The five clubs mentioned on the list are among the biggest names in the Premier League. The notable exception are Manchester City, possibly because of their comparatively late rise to the pinnacle of the English game.

#5 Tottenham Hotspur - 492 wins

Tottenham is yet to win a major trophy in recent times

Tottenham Hotspur may not have the same glamor as the other four names on the list, but they have been consistent performers over the years. Their fierce North London rivalry with Arsenal is one of the most celebrated football duels in the histort of the game.The Lillywhites are one of the traditional powerhouses of the English game.

Tottenham have won the First Division title on two occasions, but they haven't been able to replicate that success in the Premier League era. Their most successful spell in the new millennium came under Mauricio Pochettino under whom they reached the final of the Champions League while also achieving success in the Premier League. Tottenham can beat any side on their day, as shown in the recent match against Manchester City.

The past days have seen Osvaldo Ardiles and David Ginola play for the club. Tottenham currently have no shortage of stars, with Son Heung-Min, Harry Kane, and Hugo Lloris among others.

#4 Liverpool - 598

Liverpool finally won the Premier League after many disappointments in the past

Merseyside-based club Liverpool have been one of the two most successful clubs in the history of English football. They were the team to beat before the Premier League's inception and won multiple league and Champions League titles, among other trophies,

But the Premier League saw a downturn in their fortunes. While the overall performance level was good, something was often missing at the crucial moments. Liverpool did come close to winning their maiden Premier League title under Rafa Benitez and then under Brendan Rodgers. But it wasn't meant to be until the club hired Jurgen Klopp.

Klopp has completely turned around the club's fortunes with bright recruitment and effective tactics on the field. The likes of Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk have become the carriers of legacies for footballers like Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush. As a result, Liverpool have won both the Premier League and Champions League in recent times, and they're in contention for both in the current campaign.

#3 Arsenal - 610

There are two Premier League clubs on this list whose performances have gone down recently. Arsenal have a rich Premier League history, and the Arsene Wenger era saw them build up a fierce rivalry with Manchester United. They also achieved the unimaginable - going through a Premier League season undefeated. It is a feat yet to be replicated.

The success of the Arsenal side under Wenger was built around talented footballers like Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira, who were excellent performers in their time. But Arsenal have hit a rocky phase in the last few years and have struggled to find consistency and form since then.

The current Arsenal batch have several young talents who can help the club reclaim glory. However, the job is easier said than done, and it will take consistent performers from everyone associated with the club.

# Chelsea - 611

Chelsea have always found success from time to time

When someone talks about Chelsea and the Premier League, it starts with the takeover by Roman Abramovich. Chelsea found themselves in deep financial trouble and were desperate for new owners when the Russian billionaire invested heavily in Stamford Bridge. In came Jose Mourinho and several star footballers who started a long journey of success.

Mourinho became the first manager to disrupt the Premier League hegemony of Manchester United and Arsenal. His back-to-back league wins showed a shift in domination, and the world started taking notice of Chelsea. Through players like Ashley Cole, John Terry, and Didier Drogba, among others, Mourinho shaped the foundations of modern-day Chelsea.

Chelsea have often been accused of being impatient with managers when expectations aren't met. But the club have been successful and have won several trophies consistently, with the last being last season's UEFA Champions League.

#1 Manchester United - 700

Manchester United have lost their glory days

Manchester United turned up the style to beat Leeds 4-2 to bring up their 700th Premier League win last week. United became the first club to hit the mark, despite a terrible sequence of poor performances since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement. However, Manchester United has been 'the' club to beat in the Premier League for most of its history.

Over a period of two decades, Manchester United have won 13 Premier League titles. This success came along with a treble and a pair of Champions League titles. But it's unlikely that any Premier League side will show this level of dominance in the modern period.

A long list of brilliant footballers who have donned the famous red jersey of Manchester. The current side have no shortage of talent, but there has been a general lack of cohesion and coordination at crucial times. As a result, Manchester United are about to complete a decade without a Premier League side and fans still await an end to the nightmare.
