The best and tighest Premier League title races ever: Where will Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City 2023/24 rank?

Over the last 30 years of Premier League football, we have been treated to some historic title races.

From Kevin Keegan's infamous rant to Didier Drogba's offside goal and exhilarating comebacks on the final day — Sergio Aguero, anyone? — the battle to be crowned champions of England has often been an enthralling one.

Now, we could be in for another special April and May period of England's top division.

With Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool all within a point of each other after 28 games, the 2023/24 season has the smallest points difference between first and third at this stage of the campaign since May 2014. Many people are already predicting that it could be right up there with the very best title races of all.

But which ones can we consider to be the finest — and most closely fought — Premier League title tussles in history?

The Sporting News takes a trip down memory lane to look back at some of the best and tightest EPL finishes of all time.

Premier League table 2023/24: Just how close is it at the top?

To avoid any arguments, these are in chronological order. It's also worth pointing out that this list deals with the Premier League era only: in other words, we go back as far as the 1992/93 season, but no further.

Heading into 1994/95, Blackburn Rovers hadn't won a major trophy in 67 years. You'd have to look at the record books before World War One to find a league title to their name.

A 12-game unbeaten run saw them top the Premier League table at the halfway stage and they looked like becoming the first team not called Manchester United to lift the new trophy.
