The Premier League all-time table: Liverpool ahead of Chelsea…
The Premier League has been with us for 32 years, which amounts to a lot of football being played over the past three decades – but which sides have the best record in the competition?
There have been six ever-presents (Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham) while some teams have only spent one season in the Premier League sun.
But who tops the all-time table in the competition? Despite their relative struggles over recent years, it’s no surprise to see United well clear ahead of everybody else – winning 13 league titles will generally set you ahead of your rivals.
Arsenal are now back comfortably in second, after a period in which they were overhauled by Chelsea. And in recent years, Chelsea have also been overtaken by Liverpool.
Manchester City are zooming up the standings too, despite playing in the Football League for five seasons during the late 90s and early 2000s, and lie in sixth place.
The highest team currently not playing in the Premier League are 1995 title winners Blackburn Rovers, who are currently 12th in the all-time standings, above current Premier League stalwarts like Fulham, Wolves and Crystal Palace.
