Arsenal remains the only team to win the Premier League with an unbeaten record across all 38 matches. On May 15, 2004, the Gunners entered their final game of the 2003/04 season, having already clinched the title with three rounds to spare. Yet, Arsene Wenger’s side had one last goal: to complete the season undefeated. Facing a relegated Leicester City, Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory, finishing with 90 points—26 wins and 12 draws.
