Manchester United can close to within one trophy of Liverpool if they claim the Carabao Cup on Sunday.
The Red Devils take on Newcastle as they look to win the 67th piece of silverware in the club's history. Success has been scarce at Old Trafford in recent years, so much so that they're looking for a first trophy since 2017, when they won the Europa League.
In those six years Liverpool have been able to overhaul them as the most successful English club in history - claiming honours in Europe and domestically. The two north west rivals are, by quite a distance, the two most successful teams in the country and have enjoyed a lengthy rivalry.
United appear to be back on the rise under Erik ten Hag, whilst Liverpool are set for a rebuild under Jurgen Klopp. The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City have also enjoyed periods in the sun over recent decades and we take a look at whose bagged the most silverware throughout the years.
1. Liverpool - 68 trophies
It was during the 1970s and 1980s that the Reds, not only ruled England, but Europe. Led by the likes of Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan they won four European Cups in the space of seven years. They also won the top flight on ten occasions during a 14 year spell, beginning with their 1976 win. In more recent times Klopp has added another Champions League and ended a three decade wait by claiming the club's first ever Premier League.
2. Man Utd - 66 trophies
The Red Devils owe the majority of their success to the lengthy tenures of two great managers in Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby. Ferguson won 13 titles during his 26 year tenure, whilst he also claimed two Champions Leagues - adding to the European Cup claimed by Busby's outfit in 1968. Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal have added trophies since Ferguson's retirement.
3. Arsenal - 48 trophies
Arsene Wenger has more FA Cups than the majority of English clubs, which has made the Gunners the competition's most successful team. The Frenchman enjoyed brief periods of dominance in England, claiming three league titles. The north Londoners also enjoyed strong spells when George Graham and Herbert Chapman at the helm, earning an iconic last day victory at Liverpool to claim the league title.
4. Chelsea - 34 trophies
Much of the silverware amassed in west London came as a result of Roman Abramovich's billions. The Russian owned the Blues for almost two decades and saw them win more than 20 pieces of silverware. All but one of their league titles came during that period when the likes of Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti were hired. Chelsea's much craved Champions League success came in 2012 with a second coming nine years later.
5. Manchester City - 29 trophies
Another club to excel after foreign investment. Those at the Etihad have seen their fortunes change since their Abu Dhabi takeover with Pep Guardiola turning them into one of English football's finest ever teams. City have won eight league titles, six FA Cups and eight League Cups - second only to Liverpool. They are yet to claim Champions League glory however.
6. Tottenham - 26 trophies
Bill Nicholson's 16-year reign in north London is still, by far, the club's most successful ever era, combining domestic and European triumphs. Their 1962 league title remains their last top flight success, although they've continued to accumulate cup wins. Their last FA Cup came in 1991 with their most recent trophy coming in 2008 via the League Cup, which has led to mounting frustration against the club's owners in recent times as they struggle to compete.
7. Aston Villa - 25 trophies
One of only five English teams to claim the European Cup, which they did in 1982, the Midlands outfit enjoyed a huge amount of their success in the late 1800s. Their last league success came in 1981 whilst their last silverware of any time came courtesy of the League Cup in 1996.
8. Everton - 24 trophies
Howard Kendall's tenure during the 1980s was when the Merseyside club enjoyed their most glorious days. They challenged city rivals Liverpool and claimed two league titles, the FA Cup and three Charity Sheilds. Joe Royle was the last man to win a trophy for Everton, seeing off United to win the FA Cup in 1995 before adding the Charity Shield months later.
