A Russian billionaire arrives in West London. Ferguson's Manchester United begin to falter. And Arsène Wenger's Arsenal are about to achieve something that hasn't been done in English football for over a century.

In this episode of The Games That Decided the Season, we return to 2003/04 — the year Arsenal became The Invincibles.

Roman Abramovich's takeover transforms Chelsea overnight, with Claudio Ranieri handed a fortune to build a title-winning side. Meanwhile, Ferguson's attempts to rebuild Manchester United following David Beckham's departure fail to deliver, with questionable transfers and Rio Ferdinand's suspension leaving the reigning champions vulnerable.

But it's Wenger's Arsenal who steal the show. Inspired by Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pirès and Dennis Bergkamp, they embark on an extraordinary unbeaten campaign that will define a generation.

We revisit the games that shaped this remarkable season — from Ruud van Nistelrooy's dramatic penalty miss at Old Trafford, to Arsenal's crucial victory at Stamford Bridge and the unforgettable afternoon at White Hart Lane when the Gunners clinched the title on Tottenham's own ground.

Was this the greatest Premier League team of all time? Could Chelsea's newfound wealth have derailed Arsenal's ambitions? And which game really decided the 2003/04 Premier League title?

This is The Final Countdown — football history and nostalgia, as we look back at the games where an entire season changed.
