English clubs' major trophy count: Liverpool leads with 47 titles, Manchester United second with 44, Manchester City fourth with 28

Who holds the crown as England's champion king? It is Liverpool, not Manchester United, thus Liverpool is rightly regarded as England's premier football giant. After Manchester City defeated Arsenal 2-0 to win the 2025-26 League Cup, the latest data from foreign outlet Prime Sports summarized the historical championship totals of English clubs. Liverpool tops the list with 47 trophies, and Manchester City's 28 moves ahead of Chelsea into fourth place.

Top 5 English clubs in historical trophy count (referring to major titles, excluding Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, etc.):

• First: Liverpool, 47 titles!
• Second: Manchester United, 44 titles!
• Third: Arsenal, 31 titles!
• Fourth: Manchester City, 28 titles!

Pep Guardiola, having coached Manchester City for ten years, has already helped the Blues secure19 championship trophies: including 6 Premier League titles, 5 League Cups, 2 FA Cups, 1 Champions League, 1 Club World Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, and 3 Community Shields. According to the above criteria for major trophies, Guardiola has also won 14 major championships during his decade at Manchester City. If Guardiola continues to coach City for several more years, it is practically foreseeable that they will surpass Arsenal to become the third-ranked club in England for major trophy count.
