Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium, which opens next season, is designed to put the north London club on a better financial footing but has nevertheless increased the club's net debt to nearly $270 million.

On and off the pitch, Chelsea look to have everything in order for the kind of one-club domination associated with Europe's smaller eastern leagues.

Though United have won eight of the 13 Premier League titles, several of them at a canter, Chelsea are enjoying the kind of supremacy even Alex Ferguson's men would have envied.

More than United, or Arsenal, it may take another billionaire tycoon to displace Abramovich's team.
