There re are so many London-based clubs in England as it is a very wide state. Of course, in every area or state, there would always be the talk of who’s the best. It is the same in London as the battle for the best club in the state is quite intense but some achievements give us the clear winner. Although London is divided into North, South, West, and East London, the main talk is who is about the best in the whole of the city. The Top 5 London Clubs in the Premier League will be revealed in the list below.
5) Crystal Palace
Although Crystal Palace have not won a major trophy, they have been one of the consistent top-performing London outfits in the league. They are widely known for developing young players and their academy graduates. However, they would have to do a whole lot of work this season if they are to maintain their league status. The Eagles are tipped for a top-10 finish this season though.
4) West Ham United
West Ham United have won 4 major trophies in the club’s history – 3 FA Cups and 1 UEFA Conference League. West Ham are also a consistent London club in the Premier League. The East London side has featured some great Premier League players in their XI like Dimitri Payet, Samir Nasri, Mark Noble, and so on. In the history of London clubs, West Ham is certainly among the best.
3) Tottenham Hotspurs
The Lilywhites or Spurs, are surely among the top London clubs in the Premier League. The North London club have won the league twice, and have bagged 26 major trophies in their history. Spurs have also had the best players in their team over the years and they still do. However, Tottenham has not won a major trophy for a very long time in the club’s history. Coach, Ange Postecoglou has an uphill task in stopping the trophy barrenness at the club.
2) Arsenal
Of course, the Gunners are better than their North London counterparts, Spurs. However, it is enough for them to claim the top spot in this ranking. Arsenal have racked up 48 major trophies in their history including 13 league titles. They are also the only Premier League side to ever go a season without suffering defeat. Yes, the golden invincibles. Meanwhile, the Gunners are yet to taste title success in European competitions. A very key factor in deciding the best club in London.
1) Chelsea
Although it seems deciding between Arsenal and Chelsea is tough, the latter just takes this one. Chelsea’s 2 UEFA Champions League triumphs are an advantage the club has over other London clubs. Overall, the Blues have won 34 major trophies and have won the league 6 times. Of course, they earned the name “The Pride of London” and not just ordinary boasting. However, the recent performances of Chelsea are not encouraging and under the leadership of new owners, they have not found their ground. That doesn’t change the fact that they are the best London team in the Premier League.
