Clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal are among the strongest players whose position at the end of the season is used to being in the top 7. Specially for the Reds and the Gunners, they haven't even felt it long enough to sit in first place.

For the record, in the last decade there have been four different clubs that have formed the Premier League including the mediocre club Leicester City. Then if you are asked who is the undefeated primary league champion? the answer is not MU, Chelsea or Man City. But the team is Arsenal.

Yes, in the 2003/04 season through the cold hands of Arsene Wenger, Arsenal won the Premier League with unbeaten status. Undefeated, 26 wins and 12 draws and managed to collect 90 points with a goal difference of 47 (scored 73 goals and conceded 26 goals).

In that same season, their striker, Thiery Henry also came out as top scorer with 30 goals. Really complete what Arsenal achieved that season.

Therefore, to appreciate the special achievement, the FA awarded Arsenal with a special trophy. Barclays Premiere League champion trophy 2003/04 season coated with gold, other than usual.

"Arsenal's outstanding achievements have crowned what has become another season of top-class football with some of the best players performing the game and combined with the skills, passion and commitment that make the Premier League the most watched domestic league competition in the world." Said the chief executive of the primary league at the time, Richard Schudamore (quoted from Daylimail)

Now more than 15 years, London Cannon no longer feels the pleasure of touching and lifting the Premier League trophy. But at least, Arsenal can be a little puff out his chest because there are no rivals in the Premier League who are able to equal their record, namely the champion without defeat and get a gold trophy.

Since Chelsea won after Arsenal until the last time Man City reached the 2018/19 season, there has been no unbeaten team. Every team that becomes a champion always loses even one, like what happened when the Blues won the primary league title in the 2004/05 season.

Not an exaggeration, if the FA gave the gold-plated trophy to Arsenal. Because winning the primary league without defeat is indeed a rare thing. For that achievement, they got the nickname The Invicibles.

Arsenal that season was amazing. Starting Henry's penalty goal against Everton, Arsenal's perfection parade that season began. Then they locked the title on April 25 when they won a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspurs at White Hart Lane.

On May 15, the last match in the primary league, they host Leicester City and lead 2-1 through goals from Thiery Henry and Patrick Viera.

Besides Henry and Viera, at that time the golden generation of Arsenal was filled by first-class players such as Gilberto Silva, Fredie Ljungberg, Ashley Cole, Robert Pires, Jose Antonio Reyes, Denis Bergkamp and several other names.

The arrival of Jens Lehmann also managed to make them forget the loss of David Seaman. Arsenal's back line is getting stronger with a blend of junior-senior players between Kolo Toure-Sol Campbell as a defense bar.

Arsenal's success matched Preston North End's achievements in the 1888/1889 season. The difference is, Preston did it when the English League was still followed by 12 teams. During 22 games, Preston won 18 wins, 4 draws and o defeats. Another difference, Preston did not get a gold trophy.

Fifteen years has been a long time for a club as big as Arsenal, surely they cannot continue to boast of the one and only gold trophy. Considering, the competitors certainly prioritize increasing the collection of Premier League titles in their trophy cabinets.
