The last team to take the Premier League title from Manchester City or Liverpool was Chelsea, back in 2017, but they have failed to top 74 points in any of the five seasons since.
So much has changed in the Premier League since 2017, with Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola both comprehensively putting their mark on English football since. Between City and Liverpool, the two sides have recorded points tallies of 92, 93, 97, 98, 99 and 100 in the last five years, sharing the title and also seven domestic trophies between them.
It's no wonder that other sides are starting to copy the two standout leaders to try and catch them, with Chelsea's transfer activity this summer a perfect — and very literal — case in point.
