After finishing runners-up for three consecutive seasons, Arsenal appear determined to break the cycle and finally reclaim the Premier League crown. Under Mikel Arteta, the team have evolved from promising contenders, and they are currently six points clear at the top of the table.

Arteta has built a team that knows how to control games and win in different ways. At the back, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes continue to form one of the most consistent defensive partnerships in the league, with Declan Rice anchoring the midfield and dictating the tempo. In attack, the summer signing of Viktor Gyokeres has added physicality, movement, and end product.

This version of Arsenal feels more complete and more ready. And as they push to lift the Premier League trophy for the first time in over two decades, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on the last three times they achieved it — and what made those sides so special.

For fans following every twist in the title race, the markets for world-class fixtures offer a closer look at where the odds and opportunities lie this season.

1997/98

The 1997/98 season marked Arsene Wenger’s first full campaign in charge of Arsenal, and the season in which the Gunners became only the second team in history to win both the Premier League and the FA Cup in the same season, a remarkable achievement for a side still adapting to their manager’s methods. 

They lost just six league games all year, going 18 matches unbeaten to surge past Manchester United and clinch the title with two games to spare.

The squad featured a perfect mix of established leaders and attacking flair, with key figures including David Seaman, Nigel Winterburn, Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Marc Overmars, and Ian Wright. It was a defining campaign that laid the groundwork for Wenger’s legacy and set a new standard at the club.

It was a season that announced Wenger’s arrival not just in England, but in football history — the start of a new, more sophisticated Arsenal.

2001/02

In 2001/02, Arsenal produced a dominant and composed title-winning campaign that showcased their quality. They lost only three league games all season and ended the campaign with an impressive 21-match unbeaten run, sealing the title with a memorable 4-3 win against Everton.

Thierry Henry was at the peak of his powers, scoring 24 goals to become the top scorer in the Premier League that season. Supporting him were crucial contributions from Freddie Ljungberg and Sylvain Wiltord, while the midfield core of Vieira, Gilberto Silva, and Robert Pires provided balance and control.

The title was secured with style, and with a second domestic double under Wenger, this team further cemented Arsenal’s status as the dominant force in English football at the time.

2003/04

The 2003/04 season remains the most iconic in Arsenal’s history, and it still stands as the last time the club won the Premier League. Under Wenger, Arsenal achieved what no team has done since: they went an entire 38-game league season unbeaten, earning the now-legendary status of "The Invincibles."

They finished with 90 points, 11 clear of second-placed Chelsea, winning 26 and drawing 12 of their 38 matches. 

Henry won the Golden Boot with 30 league goals, leading the line with a blend of pace, precision, and brilliance. Around him, key contributions came from Pires, Bergkamp, Ljungberg, and Silva — players who embodied the team’s fluidity and cohesion across the pitch.
