Arsenal 2003/04
Their reputation may have been enhanced in recent years thanks to Arsene Wenger's failure to recreate their success, but Arsenal's "Invincibles" side was a truly majestic team.

They had become only the second side in English football - after Preston North End in 1889 -to go unbeaten in every away fixture two seasons earlier and had begun the 2002/03 campaign in superb form, leading Wenger to suggest they could complete an entire campaign undefeated.

Chelsea 2004/05
The 2004/05 season saw West Brom break the Premier League record for the lowest amount of points earned while still escaping relegation, with just 34 points. The upsetting of the traditional points distribution across the league was thanks to that season's champions Chelsea.

Several factors made Chelsea's side that year a marvel to behold. Not only did they usurp Arsenal's "Invincibles" side - gaining five more points than the Gunners had the season before-but they nearly matched the feat themselves, losing just once to Manchester City.

Manchester United 1998/99
Taking the Premier League in isolation, doing the league and FA Cup double seems a fairly common feat, having been achieved three times in just six seasons by 1998.

Clearly, just managing the double is an impressive achievement. In 1999, however, Manchester United did what many had deemed to be impossible, becoming the first English side to win a league, FA Cup and European Cup treble.

What made the 1999 United vintage even more remarkable was their resilience and ability to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. They pipped Arsenal to the title by a single point, having trailed with three games to go. This was largely thanks to an unbeaten run from Boxing Day, which catapulted them up the table from fourth.

Their truly remarkable turnaround came in the Champions League, where they overcame the odds to defeat Juventus, then famously scored twice in the dying seconds to defeat Bayern Munich in the final.

Liverpool 2019/20
People who dislike Liverpool for some inexplicable reason are fond of pointing out that Liverpool's only Premier League title comes with an asterisk because of Covid. That this season is forever tainted by the inconsistent ruleset under which it was played, and that a big chunk of the season was played in the summer in empty stadia just to get the season boxed off.

Really, though, Liverpool had already won the title long before lockdowns and social distancing, and daily briefings became part of our lives. If anything, their record would have been better without the interruption.

The clearest indicator of just how good this team was is the fact that history is already being rewritten to note that in only winning one Premier League and one Champions League, they can't have been all that. Harsh, but you can see it. It's a near-flawless team expertly led by a great manager. They are definitely the best Premier League team ever constructed to only win a single title anyway.

Manchester City 2017/18

We all had a good laugh when Jose Mourinho insisted that finishing second to Manchester City in 2018 was one of his finest achievements, but as is still even now quite often the case, the miserable old bastard had a point. There's also an element of mischief from dear old Jose there because they were a very distant second, but still. Nobody was getting close to these jokers.

A hundred points, even more goals, and the true start of the Guardiola Dynasty at City. Players famously are said to need a year to adapt to Guardiola, and he took a year to adapt to the Premier League as City finished third in his debut season, a full 15 points behind champions Chelsea.

He'd got the hang of it, though, and the 2017/18 season had records coming out of the wazoo.

Which one of these teams would you say is the greatest?

Arsenal did it without out spending everyone else, as did Liverpool, but they went unbeaten.

Man utd of 1999. 1st Treble winners in history. Players were mainly graduates from man utd academy. These include Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, G. Neville, P. Neville and Butt. Together with other established players like Schmeichel, sherringham, Solsljaer, Andy cole, Dwight Yorke, Roy Keane etc

I think between Arsenal and Liverpool, Liverpool is obviously the winner but Man city beats both don't you think?
