Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Liverpool's success in recent years has been unfairly overlooked as Jurgen Klopp's side continue to compete for glory alongside Manchester City.
The Reds ended their wait for top-flight glory during the 2019/20 season but have now been pipped to the Premier League title by a single point on two occasions in the last three years, with City instead claiming major honours that were within touching distance.
City and Liverpool have both raised the bar for teams hoping to compete at the top end of the table, with 90 plus points now viewed as somewhat of a prerequisite for title hopefuls. Another side regarded as one of the greatest witnessed in the modern era is the Arsenal Invincibles, who went the entirety of the 2003/04 season undefeated.

The man who masterminded this significant achievement, Wenger, has now been reflecting on his 22-year spell in charge of the Gunners and is of the view that Liverpool rank up there with the very best and should receive more recognition for their quality.
"I would say the team between 2002 and 2004 was certainly the most dominant in the league," the Frenchman told Sky Sports when looking back on his time as manager of the north London side.
"We had very good teams, always. It's like at the moment, you have City and Liverpool in the last five years being the dominant teams and are exceptional teams.
"Liverpool won the championship only once but that doesn't mean when they finished second they are a bad team. They are still a great team. When you lose a championship over 38 games by one point, you cannot say it is a failure.
"It is still a fantastic season for Liverpool. People always speak only when you win, but there are seasons when you don't win where you have still played fantastic football."
