Most famous to Americans because of the Ocean’s Twelve cast disguising themselves as Arsenal during the film. With 13 Top Division titles (3rd all-time), 92 seasons in the Top Division (4th all-time), and currently enjoying a stay in the top flight that began in 1920, Arsenal is firmly cemented as one of the “Big Four” teams that has a realistic shot at winning the Premier League in a given year. Tabbed to finish 3rd or 4th this season.
