2) Arsenal: 73 points

Following their treble-winning high in 1999, Manchester United strolled to the Premier League title the next season, winning with an astonishing 18-point margin as the rest of the teams simply buckled.

Unlike Barcelona of 2012/13, the Red Devils were never on top of the table for the entire season. In fact, they lost their lead twice over the course of the season. A 5-0 loss to Chelsea was their wake-up call and a 14-match unbeaten run that began in February eventually culminated in the league title win.

That run of games included an 11-match winning run. Runners-up Arsenal had an inconsistent run between December and March, virtually handing the title to United. Third-placed Leeds United were never really in the hunt either towards the end of the season.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side lost only three games that entire season, scoring 97 goals. Dwight Yorke (20 goals) and Andy Cole (19 goals) were their top goalscorers, followed by Ole Gunnar Solskjær (12 goals).
