Premier League Records: Points, Goals, Wins and Every Big Number
Here is the Premier League record book in one place: most points, most goals, biggest win, longest unbeaten run, worst season and most titles. Manchester City hold the points and goals records, Manchester United the titles and the joint-biggest win, and Arsenal the only unbeaten season and the longest unbeaten run.
Every figure below refers to the 38-game era unless noted. The Premier League ran a 42-game season from 1992 to 1995, and older First Division records go back more than a century, so the totals are not always comparable across eras — where that matters, it is flagged.
| Record | Holder | Figure | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Most points | Manchester City | 100 | 2017–18 |
| Most goals | Manchester City | 106 | 2017–18 |
| Most goals (player) | Erling Haaland | 36 | 2022–23 |
| Biggest win | Four clubs | 9-0 | Various |
| Longest unbeaten run | Arsenal | 49 games | 2003–04 |
| Only unbeaten season | Arsenal | 26–12–0 | 2003–04 |
| Fewest points | Derby County | 11 | 2007–08 |
| Most titles | Manchester United | 13 | — |
Most points: 100
Manchester City’s 2017–18 side is the only team in English top-flight history to reach 100 points. They finished on a record 100 from 38 games, ahead of Liverpool’s 99 in 2019–20 and City’s own 98 the following year. The full detail — and why 100 is still 14 short of a perfect season — is in our guide to the most points in a Premier League season.
Most goals: 106
The same City side scored 106 goals in 2017–18, the most any team has managed, beating Chelsea’s 103 from 2009–10. The individual record belongs to Erling Haaland, whose 36 goals in 2022–23 is the most in the 38-game era, ahead of the 34 Alan Shearer and Andy Cole each scored in the older 42-game format. See the full breakdown of team and player marks in the most goals in a Premier League season.
Biggest win: 9-0
The record victory margin is nine goals, achieved four times. Manchester United beat Ipswich Town 9-0 in March 1995, with Andy Cole scoring five. Leicester City won 9-0 away at Southampton in October 2019 — the biggest away win in the competition’s history. Manchester United beat Southampton 9-0 again in February 2021, and Liverpool thrashed Bournemouth 9-0 in August 2022. No team has ever won a Premier League game by ten.
Longest unbeaten run: 49 games
Arsenal went 49 league games without defeat between May 2003 and October 2004, breaking Nottingham Forest’s 42 from the late 1970s. The run spanned three seasons and ended in a 2-0 loss at Manchester United. It remains the English top-flight record, though longer runs exist elsewhere in world football — the full context is in our guide to the longest unbeaten run in football.
The only unbeaten season
Arsenal’s 2003–04 team is the only side to go a full 38-game Premier League season without losing: 26 wins, 12 draws, no defeats, 90 points. It is the record that gives this site its subject, because unbeaten is not the same as perfect — those 12 draws are the distance between the Invincibles and a flawless run. The full story is in our guide to Arsenal’s Invincibles of 2003–04, and the wider category in unbeaten single-season records.
Worst season: 11 points
At the other end, Derby County’s 2007–08 is the worst campaign in Premier League history — 11 points, one win, 29 defeats across 38 games. It is the record low for both points and wins. Southampton came closest to beating it in 2024–25 with 12 points, but the mark held. The losing side of the record book is covered in the worst Premier League team ever.
Most titles: 13
Manchester United have won the Premier League 13 times, the most of any club, though their last title came in 2012–13. Manchester City are next, having won eight by 2024, seven of them since 2017–18 during the Guardiola era. United’s 13 is a record of the competition’s first two decades; City’s cluster is the record of its most recent one.
Reading the record book
Set these numbers side by side and a theme emerges. The best points total ever, 100, is still 14 short of a perfect 114. The longest unbeaten run, 49 games, contained 13 draws. The only unbeaten season had 12. Every record here marks how close a great side came to flawless and where it stopped.
That is the argument behind 38-0. The record book is not a list of teams that achieved perfection — it is a list of teams that got near it in one dimension while falling short in another. For why combining all of them into a single 38-0 season is so hard, see our guide on why a perfect season is almost impossible, and for the strongest single-season campaigns ever assembled, the greatest league seasons.
Frequently asked questions
What is the single most impressive Premier League record?+
Statistically, Manchester City's 100 points in 2017–18 stands out, because no other team has reached three figures. But Arsenal's unbeaten 2003–04 season is arguably harder to value, because it is the only 38-game campaign without a defeat — a different kind of record that City's points total does not match.
Are Premier League records comparable to old First Division records?+
Not directly. The Premier League began in 1992 and moved to a 38-game season in 1995–96. Older First Division records — and the 42-game Premier League seasons before 1995 — had more matches, so points and goals totals are not on the same scale. Records here refer to the 38-game era unless stated.
Which of these records is most likely to be broken next?+
The points and goals records are the live ones, because attacking sides keep pushing them — City have set both this decade. The unbeaten-season record is the hardest to touch: it has been matched zero times since 2004, and going 38 games without losing has proved far rarer than piling up 90-plus points.
