MANCHESTER CITY have picked up more points than any Premier League side in the 2020s – but Arsenal are threatening to close the gap.

The Gunners were crowned champions for the first time in 22 years last season.

And Arsenal, who splashed the cash on Bruno Guimaraes last week as they aim to defend their crown, have now taken their tally to 494 points from their last 246 top-flight showdowns.

But the North Londoners are still only THIRD in the race to be the best Premier League side since the start of the decade.

City are leading the way with a mammoth 548 points after bagging four titles in the last six seasons.

And the Sky Blues have entered a new era following legendary boss Pep Guardiola’s decision to quit at the end of last term.

City are a whopping 50 points clear at the top of the table – meaning they will remain in the driving seat unless they have a horror campaign.

Liverpool, who have been involved in one more clash than their rivals, are in second place after notching 498 points.

The Merseyside giants were formidable under boss Jurgen Klopp and, having got their hands on the Premier League trophy in 2020, did it again with Arne Slot at the helm.

But Arsenal will overtake Liverpool in the race for the summit if they beat newly-promoted Coventry in their season opener.

Manchester United and Chelsea are the only other sides to have broken the 400-point barrier.

And Aston Villa, who ended their trophy drought by winning the Europa League last term, complete the top six for the 2020s.

Tottenham and Newcastle have accumulated 367 and 359 points respectively.

Brighton, fresh from increasing the capacity at the Amex Stadium, could push to overtake them in the coming months.

West Ham complete the Premier League’s top ten since the start of the decade.

But they will not add to their 315-point haul this season after suffering a shock relegation to the Championship.
