Arsenal Football Club is an English professional association football club based in North London. The club was formed in Woolwich in 1886 as Royal Arsenal before being renamed as Woolwich Arsenal in 1893.〔Soar & Tyler (2011), p. 24.〕 The club was renamed a third time in 1914 as Arsenal F.C. after moving to Highbury a year earlier.〔Joy (1952), p. 32.〕 After spending their first four seasons solely participating in cup tournaments and friendles, Arsenal became the first southern member admitted into the Football League in 1893.〔Joy (1952), p. 9.〕 They won promotion to the First Division in 1904, but were relegated in 1913. In spite of finishing fifth in the Second Division in 1919, the club was voted to rejoin the First Division at the expense of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur.〔Joy (1952), p. 28.〕 Since that time, they have not fallen below the first tier of the English football league system; Arsenal holds the record for the longest uninterrupted period in the top flight. The club remained in the Football League until 1992, when its First Division was superseded as English football's top level by the newly formed Premier League, of which they were an inaugural member. In 2003–04, Arsenal completed a league season without a single defeat, something achieved only once before in English football, by Preston North End in 1888–89. Arsenal's first team have competed in a number of national, and in the early part of the club's history, regionally contested leagues such as the United League, the Southern District Combination and the London League Premier Division. Their record against each club faced in these discontinued competitions, in addition to the Football League and Premier League is listed below. Arsenal's first Football League match was against Newcastle United, and they met their 84th and most recent different league opponent, Wigan Athletic, for the first time in the 2005–06 Premier League season. The team that Arsenal have played most in league competition is Manchester United, who they first met in the 1894–95 Football League season; the 80 defeats from 193 meetings is more than they have lost against any other club. Liverpool have drawn 49 league encounters with Arsenal, more than any other club.
