From Chelsea 04/05 to City 18/19: Premier League Best Team's Seasons

Who doesn't love some nostalgia? Today we take a look back through the Premier League archives to the top 10 teams to grace the league since it was formed in 1992.

There have been many brilliant teams over the years and we have made a stab at listing them from 10 to 1, so here goes.

10. Liverpool 2021/22

9. Manchester City 2021/22

8. Leicester City 2015/16

7. Manchester City 2017/18

6. Chelsea 2004/05

5. Manchester City 2022/23

4. Liverpool 2019/20

3. Manchester United 2008/09

2. Manchester United 1999/00

1. Arsenal 2003/04

10. Liverpool – 2021/22

Maybe a rogue call as Jürgen Klopp’s Reds finished 2nd with a tally of 92 points. The Reds lost just two games all campaign in one of the most remarkable title races in recent history.

The Merseyside club were on course for a historic quadruple, having already clinched the EFL Cup and the FA Cup. But, they missed out on the Premier League title by a point to Manchester City, and would then lose the Champions League final to Real Madrid to further compound their misery.

Despite falling just short of a historic quadruple, but still securing a domestic cup double, their style of play thrilled fans worldwide and they are included in this list for that reason.

Usual starting lineupAlisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Joël Matip, Andy Robertson, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcântara, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Diogo Jota

9. Manchester City – 2021/22

Unsurprisingly, Manchester City had to dig deeper than ever before to hold off their fierce rivals to claim yet another Premier League crown.

While their final points tally of 93 wasn't quite as big as previous years, this was still a team dominant in all aspects of the game. Midfield maestro Kevin de Bruyne led the way in the league as City's top-scorer with 15, with the goal-scoring burden shared across the entire team.

It may not have been City's greatest side but the levels of quality and consistency have to be applauded.

Usual starting lineupEderson, João Cancelo, Kyle Walker, Rúben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling

8. Leicester City – 2015/16

What can only be described as a fairy-tale triumph, Leicester City soared to an historic Premier League title against all-odds.

They may not have played the most stylish brand of football the Premier League has ever seen but the Foxes were more than deserving of their historic victory.

Claudio Ranieri’s side finished 10 points clear of runners-up Arsenal and only lost three games all season. The form of N'golo Kanté, Jamie Vardy & Riyad Mahrez was key to their success.

Usual starting lineupKasper Schmeichel, Danny Simpson, Wes Morgan, Robert Huth, Christian Fuchs, Riyad Mahrez, N'Golo Kanté, Danny Drinkwater, Marc Albrighton, Shinji Okazaki, Jamie Vardy

7. Manchester City – 2017/18

Manchester City's 2017-18 Premier League season was record-breaking with Pep Guardiola's side dominating to amass a huge total of 100 points.

They netted 106 times with Sergio Aguero in scintillating form throughout scoring 21 league goals and it was no surprise to see Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Leroy Sane & Raheem Sterling topping the assist charts.

Usual starting lineupEderson, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Nicolás Otamendi, Fabian Delph, Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sané, Sergio Agüero

6. Chelsea – 2004/05

5. Manchester City 2022/23

Manchester City's run to the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup titles in 2023 was an incredible showing of dominance.

The season was exceptional, in his first season in England, Erling Haaland bagged 52 goals across all competitions, coupled with the dominance of Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne in midfield, Pep Guardiola’s men were unstoppable.

Clinching the treble deservedly etched their place in football history.

Usual starting lineupEderson, Kyle Walker, Rúben Dias, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Aké, Rodri, John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gündogan, Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland

4. Liverpool 2019/20

The Reds began the season in top-class form, blowing away their opponents to begin the campaign in the best possible way. 26 wins and one draw in 27 games before Covid-19 hit was an indication that Jürgen Klopp’s men where playing at the top of their game.

The form of attackers Mo Salah & Sadio Mane were a huge catalyst as they began to extend their lead at the top of the table on route to securing the club's 30-year wait for a league title. The Anfield club finished on an incredible 99 points and 18 points ahead of runners-up Manchester City.

A truly impressive season.

Usual starting lineupAlisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Andy Robertson, Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino

3. Manchester United – 2008/09

A stellar season for Sir Alex’s Red Devils finishing with 28 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses in 38 matches.

Usual starting lineupEdwin van der Sar, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidić, Patrice Evra, Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher, Park Ji-Sung, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov

2. Manchester United – 1999/00

Dominant is the best way to describe Manchester United this season, winning the league at a canter by 18 points.

They scored 97 goals with an attack led by the partnership of Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole torturing defensives throughout the season.

Has there ever been a better midfield in England than David Beckham, Roy Keane, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs?

Usual starting lineupMark Bosnich, Gary Neville, Jaap Stam, Denis Irwin, Phil Neville, David Beckham, Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole

1. Arsenal – 2003/04 Invincible! Arsenal's 2003-04 Premier League season was historic, as they went unbeaten, finishing with 26 wins, 12 draws, and 0 losses in 38 matches.

The fact nobody has even come close to repeating the feat since tells you just how remarkable their achievement was.

Thierry Henry, in particular, was unstoppable, but Bergkamp, Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg were key to providing multiple chances each week for the Frenchman, while Patrick Vieira and Gilberto Silva provided solid foundations in midfield.

A solid defensive unit anchored by Sol Campbell and Kolo Touré, drove the Gunners success.

Usual starting lineupJens Lehmann, Lauren, Sol Campbell, Kolo Touré, Ashley Cole, Freddie Ljungberg, Patrick Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Robert Pirès, Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp
