City and Chelsea: 3 pre-EPL titles; 12 EPL titles

Liverpool and Everton: 1 EPL title*; 26 pre-EPL titles

good question - i guess the brits distinguish the Prem era from everything that came before the same way we tend to think about College titles with the AP poll and Minnesota in '36

I look forward to comparing the Premier League stats with The Oil League stats.
