The Premier League’s Longest Unbeaten Runs of All Time
Football may look a little different this season but that doesn’t mean you won’t see some record-breaking action. From the most points in a season to the fewest defeats, there could be some surprising contenders as new managers and transfers shake up team sheets.
To get ahead of the game, take a look at the Premier League’s longest unbeaten runs of all time and gauge whether your team is in with a chance of making history this season:
Longest Premier League Unbeaten Run
The longest unbeaten run in the Premier League was achieved by Arsenal in the 2003-04 season, with a record streak of 49 matches. Sure, they might not have secured too many trophies in the years since then, but the Gunners could be able to pull off something special in 2020-21.
Longest Premier League Unbeaten Home Run
Arsenal may have taken the title for the overall unbeaten run but it’s Chelsea who managed to get the top spot when it comes to unbeaten runs at home, as highlighted at premierleagueheroes.com. There must be something special in the air at Stamford Bridge because Chelsea maintains a staggering unbeaten run of 86 home games across the 2004-2008 seasons.
Longest Premier League Unbeaten Away Run
Performing well at home might keep you from relegation but you need to be on form when you’re away if you want to take the top spot. The title for the longest PL unbeaten away run was set by Arsenal in their infamous 2003-04 season.
Most Premier League Wins in a Season
Currently, the most Premier League wins in a season sits at 32, but which team holds this impressive title? Actually, it’s two teams: Manchester City set the record in 2017-18 and achieved the same success in 2018-19. In 2019-20, it was title winners Liverpool who also managed to take 32 wins to equal Man City’s record.
Most Premier League Points in a Season
As well as securing 32 wins in 2017-18, Manchester City also managed to get the most Premier League points in a season with a round 100. While no football team has managed to break the century just yet, 2020-21 could the year that sees the record smashed.
Most Consecutive Premier League Title Wins
Liverpool will certainly be hoping to keep hold of the title in 2020-21, but they’ll need to do the same in 2021-22 if they want to equal the current record. To date, Manchester United hold the record for the most consecutive Premier League Title wins with three. Occurring in 1998-2001 and again in 2006-2009, can anyone beat Fergie’s long-standing record?
Titles to Look Out For in 2020-21
Any season can be a record-breaker, so keep your eyes peeled for the most home wins, the most points and even the most red cards this season! One record you probably won’t see broken, however, is the highest Premier League single match attendance. Currently set at 83,222 at Wembley Stadium for a match between Spurs and Arsenal, you might be waiting a while until this many fans can enjoy live action once again.
