Today is not only the beginning of a new year and a new decade but it is also a landmark in the history of the Premier League. It is 10,000 days since the competition played its very first matches, on 15 August 1992.
The team to have been at the top of the Premier League table for the greatest number of days during that time is, not surprisingly, Manchester United.
The 13-time champions have been in first position for almost a quarter of the period, leading for 2,335 days, followed by Chelsea (1,519 days) and Arsenal (981), with Manchester City (748) and Liverpool (581) closing in on these totals.
