Before the 1996–97 season, when Chelsea started its run of consistent high finishes, the two highest profile London clubs were Arsenal and their long-standing North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, both of whom were considered to be members of English football's "big five" (with Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton) for much of the post-war period. As of the end of the 2016–17 season, all three clubs were in the top ten in the all-time top-flight table for England – Arsenal at second overall, Chelsea at seventh overall and Tottenham at eighth overall.[11]
