Fewest Goals Conceded: Chelsea allowed just 16 goals in 2004-05; Jose Mourinho’s debut season. His defensive organization set a standard that still impresses.
Most Goals Scored: Manchester City’s 2017-18 Centurions also hold this record with 106 goals, combining historic offense and defense.
The Three Eras of Dominance
Ferguson’s United (1992-2013):
Sir Alex Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles, establishing the league’s gold standard. His three three-peat championships (1996-97, 1999-2001, 2007-09) show sustained excellence across two decades. After Ferguson retired, Manchester United won just one title in 12 seasons; proving individual managers matter more than institutional strength.

The Transition (2013-2019):
After Ferguson, five different teams won seven titles. Chelsea took two, Manchester City took two, Manchester United one, Arsenal none, and Liverpool none. This competitive spread made the league unpredictable. No team dominated for more than one consecutive season until City’s 2017-19 back-to-back.
City’s Financial Dominance (2019-Present):
Manchester City, backed by Abu Dhabi investment and Pep Guardiola’s tactics, won 6 of 7 titles from 2018-2024. Their four consecutive championships represent modern football’s most dominant run. City’s financial resources enabled them to weather injuries and maintain squad depth. This era ended when Liverpool, under Arne Slot, broke the streak with 123 projected points in 2024-25.
Surprising Facts That Shaped the League
Leicester’s Fairytale (2015-16): At 5000-1 odds, Leicester City won the Premier League while battling 14 other teams for top four. They were in the Championship just two seasons earlier. James Vardy became a superstar. This remains the most shocking championship in league history.
Arsenal’s Invincibles (2003-04): Arsenal went 38 games without defeat; 26 wins, 12 draws. This happened in the modern Premier League era, making it historically significant. No team has come close to repeating it.
Manchester City’s 100-Point Season (2017-18): Pep Guardiola’s City didn’t just win; they obliterated records. 100 points, 106 goals, 32 wins from 38 games. The “Centurions” set a benchmark that seems impossible to beat.
Manchester United’s Cliff Drop: After Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, Manchester United won just one league title in 12 years (2019-20). This showed Ferguson’s individual brilliance more than United’s institutional strength.
Liverpool’s 30-Year Wait: Liverpool last won the league in 1989. They waited three decades before Jürgen Klopp’s side won in 2019-20 with 99 points; the second-highest total ever, yet they still finished second the year before when City took 87. Now Liverpool has two titles in six years, suggesting their drought-breaking success sparked a genuine resurgence.
Who Won Most Titles as a Manager?
Sir Alex Ferguson holds the record with 13 Premier League titles at Manchester United. Pep Guardiola has 8 titles and is the most successful active manager. Arsène Wenger won 3 titles. Jose Mourinho won 3 (2 with Chelsea, 1 with Manchester United).
