#6 Manchester City - 1575

Manchester City are the defending Premier League champions.
Manchester City are the defending Premier League champions.

Manchester City have been a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League in recent years. That's because they have won three of the last four titles on offer and five of the last ten.

However, that hasn't always been the case for City since the Premier League's inception three decades ago. The Cityzens were in the third tier of English football in 1998-99, and have only been Premier League regulars since 2002-03.

The arrival of Pep Guardiola in 2016 has transformed City's fortunes. The expensively assembled squad broke records and scored goals galore in the Premier League.

That was especially the case in 2017-18 when City breached the 100-point barrier and scored over 100 goals. The Cityzens have scored 100 Premier League goals thrice in the competition's last eight seasons, including twice under Guardiola.


#5 Tottenham Hotspur - 1685

Tottenham Hotspur are one of six Premier League clubs that have never endured relegation from the competition. However, Spurs are yet to win a league title in the Premier League era.

The closest they came to doing so was in the 2016-17 season when they finished behind winners Chelsea. They recorded their best Premier League goal tally of 86 that season. Nevertheless, Spurs have been consistent performers in the Premier League. They have finished in the top ten every season since 2007-08.

Last season, Spurs were the early pacesetters in the Premier League, but they imploded to finish outside the Champions League and Europa League places. This campaign as well, they topped the table after three games.

Five games later, they find themselves fifth in the league table, but look good for another top-ten finish.


#4 Chelsea - 1913

Chelsea have won five Premier League titles.

Premier League leaders Chelsea have been one of the most consistent teams in the competition, especially since the turn of the century.

One of six teams never to have endured relegation from the Premier League, Chelsea have won five titles in the competition in the last two decades. They look good to add to that tally as they lead the 2021-22 points table after eight games.

Chelsea are one of four teams to have scored over 1900 goals in the Premier League. The Blues have registered a few records in the Premier League, like fewest goals conceded in a season (15), most home wins in a season (18), etc.

With a decent roster under Thomas Tuchel, the reigning Champions League winners are looking to end their five-year Premier League title drought this season.
