Who are the best teams in Premier League history by points total?

After being runaway favourites for what seems like an eternity Manchester City are now within touching distance of the Premier League title.

A win over bitter rivals Manchester United this weekend will see them crowned champions, the earliest such coronation since the inception of the Premier League in 1992.

Pep Guardiola's side have swept all before them this season scoring more goals, conceding fewer, winning more matches and lose less than all of their contemporaries.

Such has been their dominance the talk has turned to just how good they might be with many onlookers placing them in the rarefied air of the great teams of the past.

Are they as good as Jose Mourinho's first Chelsea team or Sir Alex's last great Manchester United incarnation of 2008/09? What about the City title-winners six years ago or even Antonio Conte's side a season ago? Are they even, whisper it, better than Arsenal's famed 'Invincibles'?

Check out the gallery above to see the top 20 best the top flight has seen, including where City's Class of 2018 project to fit in.
