Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, those four football clubs are perhaps the best football clubs in the sport. As expected, these four teams are all included in the biggest four-way football rivalry in all of football.
Whenever Wayne Rooney and the rest of Manchester United faces-off with Michael Ballack and Chelsea, it’s always one of the biggest matches of the year.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are four football clubs each trying to outdo one another when it comes to championship trophies. They all have their own glimmering trophy rooms filled with gold from each successful football campaign and they’re not done yet.

Rafael Benitez bolstered his defensive options in January 2006 when signing Agger signed from Brondby for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £5.8million - making him the most expensive export in Denmark’s history.
The centre-back, who played in Denmark’s 4-1 defeat of England in August 2005, became the second defender to join the Reds in the transfer window after the capture of Jan Kromkamp from Villarreal.
Davies’ future at Middlesbrough looks uncertain after he failed to progress, as expected, to become a first team regular.
After failing to make an impression in 2004/05 he was loaned to Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers in mid-January. He was hugely impressive in his four appearances for the Loftus Road outfit and after the end of the initial month it appeared the move would become permanent.
Carvalho enjoyed an impressive first season at Chelsea, though his future at the club appeared to be in some doubt at the start of 2005/06.
The central defender was left out of the team to play Wigan Athletic on the opening day, and he launched a tirade against manager Jose Mourinho. The boss hit back by saying Carvalho ’should have an IQ test’.
