Arsenal's Last Premier League Title: The 2003/04 Invincibles Season

When Did Arsenal Last Win The Premier League?

North London club Arsenal last won the Premier League in the 2003/04 season. They finished the season without a single loss, this has now been dubbed the 'invincibles season'.

Their undefeated run even lasted through multiple seasons, totalling 49 games unbeaten.

What were Arsenal's 2003/04 Title Winning Stats?

Arsenal finished the season with 26 wins, 12 draws on 0 losses. This resulted in a points total of 90 after 38 league games.

Their goal difference was 47. The Gunners scored 73 goals and conceded 26. They had considerably the best attack and defence in the league that season and it's no shock they were unbeaten.

Why were Arsenal Dubbed 'The Invincibles'?

Following the years after Arsenal won the Premier League without registering a single loss, they have garnered the nickname 'The Invincibles'. This is because it is very rare that an English side in the top flight are able to avoid any defeats throughout a season.

The only other team to have an 'Invincible' season in the English top-flight was Preston North End in the 1888-89 season. Preston were undefeated in both the league and the cup, which spanned a total of 27 games.

This means that Arsenal are the only team that have had an 'invincible' season since the Premier League was introduced in 1992.

What were Arsenal's Key Players in their Last Title Winning Season?

A number of players were integral to Arsenal's 'Invincibles' season in 2003/04.

Thierry Henry

Henry was their potent goalscorer throughout the season and is regarded as one of the best centre-forwards to ever play the game. He netted 30 league goals for the Gunners and was a nightmare for defences to deal with.

Patrick Viera

Viera was Arsenal's captain and rock in the midfield. He was an expert at breaking up the play, and a starting point to their attacks.

His leadership skills were also integral to their superb season, without him the outcome of the season would have been very different.

Sol Campbell and Kolo Toure

To leave one of Arsenal's centre-back partnership during the 'invincible' season would be a disservice.

Both Campbell and Toure were instrumental to Arsenal's fine defensive record, and probably the most important factor in them losing no matches at all throughout the season.

They will go down as one of the best centre-back pairings in Premier League history.

Who was Arsenal's Manager When They Last Won The League?

Their Manager was Premier League Icon Arsene Wenger. Along with Sir Alex Ferguson, Wenger is regarded as one of the greatest football managers of all time.

His 2003/04 'invincible' title win is ranked as his highest achievement in his managerial career.

How Many Times Have Arsenal Won The Premier League?

Arsenal have won the Premier League 3 times, and this was in the 1997/98, 2001/02 and 2003/04 seasons.

However, the English 1st division was revamped to be called the Premier League in 1992. So including 1st division titles, Arsenal have been English champions 13 times.

Will Arsenal End Their Premier League Title Drought Any Time Soon?

Arsenal have clearly struggled to reach their best ever since the 'invincibles' season.

However, they have come close to winning the Premier League title on multiple occasions. They came 3rd in the 2007/08, and were 4 points off league champions Manchester United. The closest they have come to winning the league since 2003/04 was in the 2022/23 season. They were top of the league for 248 days, and ended up finishing the season 5 points behind champions Manchester City.

Arsenal have improved considerably in recent seasons under Mikel Arteta, so they could challenge for the title in the coming seasons.
