Arsenal Football Club, founded in 1886, achieved a historic unbeaten Premier League season in 2003-04 under manager Arsène Wenger, finishing with 26 wins and 12 draws. This remarkable feat, which earned them the nickname "The Invincibles," marked the first time since Preston North End in 1888-89 that a team completed a league season without defeat.
