Each week, we'll reminisce about our incredible Invincible season 20 years on by looking back at what was going on at the club on and off the pitch, as well as remembering key news stories and the pop culture buzz at the time.
Last week, we thrashed Leeds United 5-0 to move 10 points clear at the top of the table and put us on the brink of the championship ahead of our trip to our neighbours. The title was tantalisingly close…
Setting the scene
Our healthy lead meant that Chelsea would have to be near-on perfect if they were going to push us all the way, but hours before our north London derby goals from Shola Ameobi and Alan Shearer saw Newcastle United come from behind to beat the Blues 2-1, meaning one more point for us would be enough to clinch the title.
