Arsenal top TV & prize money list


Arsenal's run to the Champions League final has seen them eclipse Chelsea's earnings for television income and prize money in the 2005-06 season.

The Gunners have made £52.7m so far while champions Chelsea took £47.5m.

Liverpool made £43.2m from television and prize money while their great rivals Manchester United got £39.9m.

Almost half Arsenal's income has come from the Champions League - victory over Barcelona in the final would bring in a further £2m.

Spurs, the highest-placed club not involved in the Champions League, earned £26.2m, less than half the sum their north London rivals pulled in.
