As the 2026/27 Premier League season kicks off, it is the perfect time to reflect on the greatest squads the competition has ever seen. Since its inception in 1992, the EPL has produced some of the most dominant club sides in European football history.
1. Arsenal 2003/04 – The Invincibles (90 Points)
The greatest Premier League side of all time. Arsène Wenger's Arsenal completed the entire 38-game season without a single defeat — an achievement no other team has managed before or since in English top-flight football.
Henry, Vieira, Bergkamp, Pires, Cole, and Ljungberg formed an irresistible unit. Thierry Henry became the finest striker in the world that season, scoring in every competition. Their unbeaten run of 49 league games stretched across two seasons and remains the standard by which all Premier League dominance is measured.
2. Manchester City 2017/18 – The Centurions (100 Points)
Guardiola's first great City side set a new record with 100 points, 32 wins, and 106 goals — all Premier League records at the time. Sané, De Bruyne, Sterling, and Agüero formed one of the most devastating attacking quartets the league has ever seen. They wrapped up the title with five games to spare.
3. Manchester City 2022/23 – The Treble Winners (89 Points)
The only English team to win the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League in the same season. Haaland's record 36 league goals powered City to another title, while their relentless pressing and ball retention made them the most complete team in European football. A historic achievement that earned Guardiola's side a place among the game's all-time elite.
4. Manchester City 2011/12 – The Last-Day Champions (89 Points)
Eight points down with six weeks to play, City produced one of the most dramatic title charges in football history. Agüero's stoppage-time winner against QPR on the final day — "AGUEROOOO!" — gave City their first league title in 44 years. A squad built around Silva, Nasri, Yaya Touré, and Agüero played some of the best football England had seen in decades.
5. Chelsea 2004/05 – Mourinho's First Blues (95 Points)
José Mourinho arrived at Stamford Bridge with a Champions League winner's medal and a mission. His Chelsea side conceded just 15 goals all season — a Premier League record — and won the title by 12 points. Terry, Carvalho, Makelele, Lampard, and Drogba formed the spine of a dominant, ruthless machine.
