Every Premier League club ranked by their current trophy drought
The 7th June 2023 will be a night West Ham fans remember for the rest of their lives, as they won their first major European trophy in 58 years.
The Hammers, who have struggled in the league this season, ended the 2022/23 campaign on a major high, as they became just the second side to win the Europa Conference League after Roma last season.
To clarify a major trophy includes the top-flight league title, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League.
Here’s how they rank from the most recent winners to the sides still waiting to break their duck.

- Last trophy won: FA Cup
- Year: 2023

Pep Guardiola and his Man City side are just one game away from greatness, as they aim to become just the second English side after rivals Man Utd to win the treble.

3. Man Utd
