The current Man City team under Pep Guardiola are being spoken about as one of the greatest Premier League teams of all time. But how do they rank up against some of the other great teams to play in the Premier League era. Since the early 90s, different teams have been making and breaking records - from points accumulated, to the fewest goals conceded. But who will claim the title of the greatest Premier League squad?
Debating the greatest Premier League squad is host and Chelsea supporter @RoryJenningsFootball Man Utd follower Flex from @UnitedViewTV, and Manchester City supporter Steven McInerney from @EsteemedKompany.
Trophies, unbeaten records, or their football on the eye - every football fan has different criteria for assessing which team is the best ever - but few could argue the City Centurions, doing what many thought was almost impossible, racking up 100 points in a single season are in the frame. And Steven makes a strong case for their inclusion.
Chelsea fans have plenty to boast about with Jose Mourinho’s 04/05 team- conceding just 15 goals to in their first ever Premier League title, which also saw them win the League Cup and reach the Champions League semi-final in a historic season.
Sir Alex Ferguson produced many a team worthy of being in contention as the best teams ever, and Manchester United’s ’99 squad don’t just look to stats sheets on games won, goals conceded or unbeaten; they have the best haul of silverware ever seen in the Premier League era to back it up. Fergie's treble winning team of Peter Schmeichel, Gary Neville, David Beckham, Roy Keane, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and more all embodied the lethal combination of skill, determination, and belief of every successful team - and were fundamental to the sustained success under SAF.
Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and the rest of Arsenal’s Invincibles gave weekly masterclasses on how to dominate a pitch. But, some argue that drawing 11 games in a league season and being knocked out in the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League (to Chelsea) dampens their case as the best ever.
