Arsenal are currently in the midst of their second successive Premier League title race as they bid to beat Manchester City to glory.

The Gunners have been virtually unstoppable this season and are top of the table but know their fate remains out of their hands.

The north Londoners have just three games left but need to rely on City dropping points should they go the distance.

However, Mikel Arteta will believe - with Arsenal last winning the Premier League before he even joined the club as a player!

Piers Morgan told talkSPORT last year that he believes this team is the best since the Invincibles.

He said: “I’ve never seen the Emirates as loud and universal in it’s support for a team and manager as it is now.

“The media are loving the way Arsenal are playing. We got spoilt in the first eight years under Wenger in the way they played. 

“I think this is the best quality of football and best squad we’ve had since the Invincibles days."

Arteta's side will be hoping they can replicate the legendary Gunners side and go all the way to lift the Premier League title.

Arsenal remain one spot and one point above City with three matches remaining but boasts a far superior goal difference.

When did Arsenal last win the Premier League?

Arsenal last won the Premier League in the 2003/04 season.

This campaign is famously remembered as the club's 'Invincibles' year.

During that season, Arsenal went unbeaten in their 38 league games, winning 26 of them and were rewarded with a Gold trophy - the only team to ever win one - instead of the usual silverware.

The Emirates outfit are now in their nineteenth season since they last lifted the title - their closest finish since then was when they finished third in 2007/08, four points behind winners Manchester United.

How many titles have Arsenal won?

The Gunners have lifted 13 English league titles, only behind Liverpool (19) and Manchester United (20) for most successful.

However, only three of Arsenal's trophies have come in the Premier League era - with none being won since the move to the Emirates.

Arsenal have been a mainstay in England's top division for over a century and are one of only seven teams never to have been relegated from the Premier League.
