The 2023-24 Premier League season is set to commence tomorrow evening, so in preparation we have taken a look at the highest scoring clubs in history.
Throughout history the Premier League has seen some of the best clubs in history, the 1999 treble-winning Manchester United side, the 2023 treble-winning Manchester City side and a multitude of squads from Stamford Bridge.
However, winning league titles can come in many formats, creating a solid defensive foundation, winning matches by simply one goal. But we have taken a look at the most entertaining style – blowing teams away.

Most Goals Scored By Premier League Clubs
1. Manchester City 2017-18, 106 goals (1st, +79 GD)
The highest scoring season in history, which will come as no surprise, was achieved by Manchester City who found the net a staggering 106 times and clinched the league title.
Pep Guardiola made up for his trophyless first season in charge in spectacular fashion, with his City side becoming the first team ever to reach 100 points – conceding just 27 goals.
Pep’s side scored more goals than Burnley, Southampton and Swansea combined, whilst Sergio Aguero ended the season as the club’s leading marksman – scoring 21 goals.
2. Chelsea 2009/10, 103 goals (1st, +71 GD)
Carlo Ancelotti, in his opening campaign as Chelsea manager, guided his side to 103 goals and it was all about their home form. The Blues set another record as their 68 goals at home are five more than any other team has scored in history.
Chelsea had a plethora of goalscoring outputs: Didier Drogba (29 goals), Frank Lampard (22), Florent Malouda (12) and Nicolas Anelka (11), all contributed to the 103 goal mark.
In particular, the duo of Drogba and Lampard were involved in a staggering 68 of Chelsea’s 103 goals. Chelsea ended the season in style, thrashing Wigan 8-0 at Stamford Bridge to breaking the 100-goal.
3. Manchester City 2019-20, 102 goals (1st +67 GD)
In a season which was largely focused on COVID-19 and Liverpool clinching their first Premier League title it was City who finished top scorers, with 102 goals.
In typical City fashion, this was a team effort with five players scoring more than 10: Raheem Sterling (20), Sergio Agüero (16), Gabriel Jesus (14), Kevin De Bruyne (13) and Riyad Mahrez (11).
This meant that Pep Guardiola’s side were the first top-flight club in English football since Everton in 1984–85 to have five different players score at least 10 league goals in a single campaign.
4. Manchester City 2013-14, 102 goals (1st +65GD)
Manchester City clinched the league title in the season after Sir Alex Ferguson retired and did so in emphatic fashion.
Getting the better of a free-scoring Liverpool side to claim their second Premier League title in three years, Manuel Pellegrini’s City side scored 102 goals.
Ivorian international, Yaya Touré, remains just the second midfielder in Premier League history, after England’s Frank Lampard in 2009-10, to score 20 goals in a single campaign.
5. Liverpool 2013-14, 101 goals (2nd +51GD)
In the same season, Liverpool came close to ending their wait for a Premier League title, in the infamous ‘Gerrard slip’ campaign.
Propelled by strikers Luis Suárez (31 goals) and Daniel Sturridge (21 goals) – who scored an incredible 52 goals between them – Liverpool scored 101 times that season.
Unfortunately for Reds supporters, conceding 50 goals was the downfall for Brendan Rodgers’ side, as no team thats conceded over 45 goals has ever clinched the league title.
Best Of The Rest
6. Manchester City 2021-22, 99 goals, (1st +73GD)
7. Man Utd 1999-00, 97 goals, (1st +52GD)
8. Manchester City 2018-19, 95 goals, (1st +72GD)
9. Liverpool 2021-22, 94 goals, (2nd +68GD)
10. Manchester City 2022-23, 94 goals, (1st +61GD)
