It has been 19 years since Chelsea in 2005, according to Sports Radio 'Talk Sports'London Unbeaten'. Chelsea, led by Jose Mourinho, had nine wins and one draw against the London club in 2005.

Arsenal did not end up with the trophy after winning the FA Cup in 2020. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta missed the league title by a hair's breadth after being beaten by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola in the last two seasons.
This season, when defending champion Manchester City, which has lost four consecutive league games, is embroiled in an all-time slump, is considered the right time to win the EPL for the first time in 20 years.
For Arsenal, it will be icing on the cake if Tottenham catches Liverpool at home at 1:30 a.m. on the 23rd.
Tottenham increased its momentum by winning 4-3 in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup against Manchester United on the 20th thanks to Son Heung-min's picturesque corner kick goal.
