The Premier League is considered by many to be the best football league in the world. Over 38 matches, 20 teams fight it out to become the champions of England. The Premier League is the most watched in the world and has become famous for its fast, physical style of play. On top of that, several top clubs such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea ply their trade in the league.
All these factors make it very difficult for any team to win the Premier League. One slip-up (don’t ask Steven Gerrard) and a team’s title chances fade away. And hence, teams usually need a lot of points to become champions. Sometimes even 90 points are not enough to win the league.
So, here are the teams that have amassed the most points in a Premier League season.
Most points in a Premier League season
Manchester United (2008-09) – 90 points
After Jose Mourinho won back-to-back titles with Chelsea, there was pressure on Sir Alex Ferguson to respond. And he did it in style, guiding Manchester United to three consecutive titles. The third was the most impressive as United scored 90 points, fending off a fierce challenge from Fernando Torres, and Steven Gerrard led Liverpool. United’s defence was the best in the league as they only conceded 24 goals. It would also be Cristiano Ronaldo’s last season at the club, after which he would join Real Madrid for a then record fee.
Arsenal (2003-04) – 90 points
The famous Invincibles season. In 2003-04 the Premier League was dominated by Arsenal and Manchester United. The two teams were battling it out for the title, but in 2003-04, Arsenal would blow everyone out of the water. Arsene Wenger’s men created history as they won 26, drew 12 and lost no match. This was the first and, until now, the only time a club managed to complete an entire season without losing a single game. The star of the show was Theirry Henry and Dutch playmaker Dennis Bergkamp. It was the last time Arsenal won a league; however, their form suggests they could be a significant title contender this season.
