Ranking Premier League's "Big Six" based on the last time they won major silverware

#4 Arsenal: 576 days

Arsenal v Chelsea - FA Cup Final

Arsenal have been a work in progress for the past several seasons but seem to be headed in the right direction under Mikel Arteta. Although they are nowhere near the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, the strides they have made are quite evident.

The Gunners’ last trophy was in August 2020 when they won the FA Cup against Chelsea. A Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace set the seal on an impressive victory that saw the Gunners emerge 2-1 winners. The victory also meant that Arsenal qualified for the Europa League the following campaign.

Although they have been fairly impressive in English competitions, Arsenal need to work on their performances in European competitions. They are yet to win a Champions League or Europa League title.

The Gunners are currently fifth in the Premier League, two points behind Manchester United with three games in hand. They will look to qualify for the Champions League next season.

#5 Manchester United: 1741 days

Ajax v Manchester United - UEFA Europa League Final

After some spectacular times in the 90s and 2000s, Manchester United have faltered considerably. The Red Devils have struggled of late and have found it incredibly hard to replicate their phenomenal form in the past. Several managers have come and gone since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013, but none have made a significant impact.

Manchester United’s last major trophy was the Europa League back in May 2017. United beat Ajax 2-0 in convincing fashion. Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were on the scoresheet as the Red Devils lifted their first Europa League trophy.

After a transfer window that brought Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, the club have had an utterly disappointing 2021-22 season. United are currently fourth in the Premier League but have played three more games than their closest rivals.

#6 Tottenham: 5119 days

Tottenham Hotspur v Morecambe: The Emirates FA Cup Third Round

Tottenham have always been criticized for their lack of drive when it comes to winning silverware. Even with world-class players like Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son, among others, Spurs have always lacked that special something to take them over the line.

Spurs haven’t won a major trophy for close to 14 years. Their most recent success came in the Carabao Cup in February 2008, where they defeated Chelsea 2-1. The goalscorers for Spurs on the night were Dimitar Berbatov and Jonathan Woodgate.

The only chance for Tottenham to win a trophy this season will be the FA Cup. Spurs travel to Middlesbrough on Wednesday in the competition’s fifth round.

They are competing for a place in next season’s Champions League in a race that seems to be going down to the wire. Spurs are currently seventh in the Premier League with a couple of games in hand over fourth-placed Manchester United.
