Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal's 'invincibles' could soon have company.
The Gunners' unbeaten Premier League season of 2003/04 is yet to be matched, but we are getting closer to the point where the top-flights big-hitters have a real shot of going a whole season without defeat.
That's according to Carragher, who is a big fan of that invincible Arsenal team.
"Well I have always said that was the best team I have played against," he said on Sky Sports' Football Show.
"And not necessarily just that season. There was a two or three year period from 2002-2004 and I think in 2003 Man United won the league, but if I'm being honest, I still felt Arsenal were the team in that year. I think they threw it away in that season.
"It wasn't just because they were so good technically, they were so big, powerful, quick, strong. You always went on to the pitch wondering which area of the game you are better in.
"And normally if the team is really good technically, you can outfight them, outmuscle them. But with that Arsenal team, it was such a powerful team as well as pace-wise.
"The unbeaten achievement - as Gary says - you are always going to lose games in a Premier League season.
"You can get so close like Liverpool did this season and the Watford thing happened.
"I do feel like the last couple of years, teams are getting closer."
While Carragher believes another team could do it in the years to come, he made no bones about just how incredible the achievement was.
"We know how tough it is, but I feel like the rules of winning the Premier League have changed from losing five or six games to two or three," he added.
"So, I think teams are getting closer to it, but what happened with Liverpool shows how tough it is.
"How strong Liverpool have been this season - they go to a team near the bottom of the league and get beat convincingly.
"Arsenal Twitter that night was pretty pleased and rightly so, that's something very special associated with that club and that team."
