The Greatest English Clubs Of All Time Ranked

Liverpool and Manchester United are the two most successful clubs in the history of English football, but how does everyone else do behind them on the list?

Jurgen Klopp's side captured the Premier League title for the first time last season and it was their first league title in 30 years.

It took the Reds back to the top of the list of most successful English sides, above rivals United, when it comes to most trophies won, with 42.

Despite that, the side down the M62 still lead with most league titles, with 20 compared to Liverpool's 19, although how long till they add to their 20 remains to be seen.

Liverpool's longevity has helped them stay ahead of United when it comes to ranking English clubs though. @FootballInT80s devised a ranking system based on two points for each season in the top tier and five points for each league title, since the league began.

23. Nottingham Forest - 56 seasons, 1 title - 117 points

=. Leeds - 51 seasons, 3 titles - 117 points

21. Middlesbrough - 61 seasons - 122 points

20. Stoke - 62 seasons - 124 points

18. West Ham - 63 seasons - 126 points

=. Burnley - 58 seasons, 2 titles - 126 points

17. Sheffield United - 62 seasons, 1 title - 129 points

16. Derby County - 65 seasons, 2 titles - 140 points

15. Bolton Wanderers - 73 seasons - 146 points

14. Wolverhampton Wanderers - 66 seasons, 3 titles - 147 points

13. Sheffield Wednesday - 66 seasons, 4 titles - 152 points

12. Blackburn Rovers - 72 seasons, 3 titles - 159 points

11. West Bromwich Albion - 82 seasons, 1 title - 169 points

10. Tottenham Hotspur - 86 seasons, 2 titles - 182 points

9. Newcastle United - 89 seasons, 4 titles - 198 points

8. Chelsea - 86 seasons, 6 titles - 202 points

=. Sunderland - 86 seasons, 6 titles - 202 points

6. Manchester City - 92 seasons, 6 titles - 214 points

5. Aston Villa - 107 seasons, 7 titles - 249 points

4. Arsenal - 104 seasons, 13 titles (273 points)

3. Everton - 118 seasons, 9 titles - 281 points

2. Manchester United - 96 seasons, 20 titles - 292 points

1. Liverpool - 106 seasons, 19 titles - 307 points

At this point in the season it looks more like Liverpool will stretch their lead over United than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will reduce the gap.

There's a long way to go and at the moment Klopp's side aren't top of the table and it doesn't look like the title race will be quite as easy as last season's for them.
