You've just named 4 teams who can win a MAXIMUM of 4 trophies between them.

Prem, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League.

That's assuming no other prem club gets to the final of either Domestic competitions, and none of the big european clubs win the Champions league.

The only trophy one of those four is (almost) guaranteed to win is the premiership.

Which goes back back to Ralphs point that really only 3 teams in the prem are likely to win something every season.
