Since the Premier League began in 1992, the way teams set up on the pitch has evolved dramatically.

From the classic 4-4-2 that dominated the 1990s and early 2000s, to José Mourinho’s 4-5-1 and the modern 3-2-5 system popularised by Pep Guardiola, tactical formations have continually changed the way football is played.

In this video, we explore the major formations that have shaped the Premier League, how they work, the managers who made them famous, and how tactical trends have evolved from the competition's early days to the modern game.

Here are every major Premier League formation explained.
