And on Friday, to mark the 16th anniversary of that occasion, the club’s social media removed L’s from its profile on Twitter, signifying no losses in the 2003-’04 edition.

Liverpool were widely tipped to emulate Arsenal’s record this season but Jurgen Klopp’s rampant side was beaten by Wolves. Wenger and Co’s achievement remains the only case of a team going unbeaten in the Premier League era.

“In certain games we were really under the cosh, maybe we had a poor game but we managed to get a draw out of it,” Ray Parlour, part of the Arsenal Invincibles, said on his visit to India in 2015. “Credit to all the lads, the staff the others involved in the club that we went unbeaten.
