How many teams have won three PL titles in a row? Man City on the way

Manchester City are chasing a third straight Premier League title as they head into the stretch run of the 2022-23 season.

Pep Guardiola's side became champions last season by a single point as they dramatically pipped Liverpool to the title despite nearly slipping up on the final day.

That result saw them defend their 2020-21 title which was picked up more comfortably after they finished 12 points clear of second-place Manchester United.

Man City are once again favourites to be crowned champions, and if they pull it off, it would make them one of an elite few to win three straight Premier League titles. The Sporting News digs into the history below.

How many teams have won three Premier League titles in a row?

Since the Premier League era began in 1992, only one club has won the title three times in a row and they did it twice.

Manchester United first completed the elusive hat-trick of silverware in 2001 when they beat Arsenal to the top-flight title for a third consecutive season.

Then after failing to win the Premier League for three straight seasons between 2003 and 2006, Sir Alex Ferguson guided the Red Devils to another three consecutive league titles that culminated in a 2008-09 triumph.

Manchester City only became the second club in the Premier League era to win consecutive league titles when they did so in 2019.

Guardiola's side were unable to complete the league hat-trick on that occasion, however, with Liverpool comfortably claiming the 2019-20 title.

This time it's Arsenal attempting to deny City a third straight title in 2022-23 as the league crown will be won by one of those two sides.

How many teams have won three English top-flight titles in a row?

Before the Premier League was born in 1992, the Football League First Division boasted a rich history of successful clubs.

Huddersfield Town were the first to win three straight titles when they finished first in 1923-24, 1924-25 and 1925-26.

After that, Arsenal also won a hat-trick of titles between 1932 and 1935 with Liverpool the next and last to complete the feat in 1984 before the advent of the Premier League.

No club has ever managed to win four straight top-flight league titles in England at any point in history.
