Top Derbies and Matches in the Premier League

Barcelonians are used to enjoying some of the best sports derbies in football, as “El Clásico” attracts a massive audience every year. However, they may not be as familiar with some of the derbies and rivalries unique to the English Premier League.

Manchester Derby

The Manchester derby has become a global football event, largely due to Manchester City’s recent successes. Pep Guardiola’s Blues have assembled a team that could go down in history as one of the greatest. United’s fortunes have varied since Alex Ferguson’s retirement, but they remain a formidable opponent. The shift in favoritism in the city has been dramatic. Twenty years ago, Manchester United topped the table while City had just been promoted. Today, the story in northwest England is very different.

London Derbies

With a population of nearly 9 million people, it’s no surprise that London boasts 7 teams currently in the top flight: Arsenal, Brentford, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United. In recent years, Arsenal and Chelsea have been the most successful teams, regularly finishing in the top four. Matches against smaller London clubs are always intense affairs, particularly the Arsenal-Chelsea derby, as well as Arsenal-Tottenham and Chelsea-West Ham.

Northwest Derby

Traditionally, one of English football’s fiercest rivalries has been between Liverpool and Manchester United. These two neighboring clubs in the northeast have enjoyed periods of Premier League dominance, with Liverpool ruling in the 80s and United dominating the 90s and 00s. In their last encounter, Merseyside’s Reds thrashed their old rivals with a resounding 7-0 victory.

Merseyside Derby

Another standout fixture in the Premier League calendar is the Merseyside derby. Unlike many other English derbies, the Merseyside derby, also known as the “friendly derby,” has a much more sportsmanlike atmosphere due to the clubs’ shared history. In Premier League encounters, Liverpool leads with 27 wins compared to Everton’s 10.
