In the 31 years since the formation of the English Premier League, a breakaway project that became one of sport’s most powerful commercial juggernauts, it has had seven different champions.
Two are from London, two from Manchester and another pair from elsewhere in England’s north-west, Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool, whose sole Premier League titles interrupted long runs of Manchester supremacy.
Blackburn took on Manchester United’s 1990s might, and, over the last six years, Liverpool briefly paused Manchester City’s domination.
The other club who have called themselves the top team in the most globally popular, moneyed domestic league in the world are Leicester City, outsiders in every sense.
