5 Greatest Ever Title-Winning Premier League Sides

3. Chelsea - 2004-2006

When Jose Mourinho arrived at Chelsea from Porto in the summer of 2004, having just won the Champions League with the Portuguese club, big things were expected. He didn't disappoint. It had been a year since Roman Abramovich had bought the club, and the quality at their disposal, coupled with Mourinho's tactical brilliance, meant many believed they could pip Arsenal's 'Invincibles to the title. The signings of Petr Cech, Ricardo Carvalho, Arjen Robben and Didier Drogba were magnificent, and it quickly became evident that the Blues were going to be a winning machine under their new manager. They conceded just once in their first eight league games, and, unbelievably, that loss at Manchester City proved to be their only defeat of the entire season. Robben was sensational when fit, and the English duo of John Terry and Frank Lampard were hugely influential throughout. They were a side without a weakness, much like their current team, and in the end they walked the title with a highly impressive Premier League record tally of 95 points. They had won 29 of their 38 league games. In 2005/06 they were almost as impressive, racking up 91 points and finishing eight points clear of nearest challengers United. The west London side conceded just 22 goals in their 38 league games. The midfield trio of Claude Makelele, Michael Essien and Lampard had the perfect balance, and the quality of Robben and Drogba was genuinely world-class at times. The only surprise is that they didn't kick on and completely dominate for years to come. Mourinho's exit was a big reason for that; maybe this time around he'll make up for lost time.
