City have won 13 games on the spin to establish a comfortable lead at the top of the table. It would be a remarkable end to the season if their double-digit advantage was to disappear. A potential quadruple is on the cards for Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side, while various records are in their sights. City could set a new benchmark for the longest winning streak in the history of the Premier League, for example. So what are the longest winning streaks in the English top flight?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">5 longest winning streaks in Premier League history<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5th. Arsenal &#8211; 14 (February-August 2002) <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have to go back nearly 20 years for the fifth longest winning streak in Premier League history, with Arsenal putting together a series of 14 victories in succession back in 2002, just a season before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/the-four-greatest-premier-league-teams-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Invincibles season<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That run of form included a dramatic 2-1 derby win at home to Tottenham, secured by Lauren&#8217;s late penalty, as well as the famous 1-0 victory at Old Trafford that sealed the title. That meant the rampant Gunners had secured a domestic double, but their winning streak continued briefly when the new campaign got under way a few months later.<\/p>\n<p>Goals from iconic French forward Thierry Henry and Sylvain Wiltord swept aside newly promoted Birmingham City and set a new record of 14 straight wins in the Premier League. But a draw against West Ham saw the sequence come to an end in Arsenal&#8217;s next game. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/london-football-clubs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The biggest football club in London<\/a> are the only southern entry on this list.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4th. Manchester City &#8211; 15 (February-August 2019) <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Four of the longest winning streaks have come within the last four season and this was one of them. Sergio Aguero&#8217;s hat-trick in a 3-1 win at home to Arsenal got this run going and City then won their next seven league games with just one goal conceded.<\/p>\n<p>A 2-0 derby win at Old Trafford was arguably the key result as City crunched through the gears, with Aguero&#8217;s winner at Burnley then setting up a thrilling finale to a title battle with Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>Leicester City held Guardiola&#8217;s men at bay for 70 minutes at the Etihad only for captain Vincent Kompany to thump home a long-range drive, their title then sealed by a 4-1 defeat of Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>Like Arsenal, City kept the streak going into the next campaign, extending it with a thumping 5-0 win at West Ham, but their run ended at 15 wins after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/49302583\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a 2-2 draw at home to Spurs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3rd. Liverpool &#8211; 17 (March-October 2019) <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s side had compiled nine wins in a row to end the 18-19 campaign but it was not enough to win the league, a 0-0 Merseyside derby draw at Goodison Park proving a key game. The pain of missing out on the league fuelled the Reds, though, and they started 19-20 in thrilling form with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/49201578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an opening weekend demolition of Norwich City<\/a> followed by another seven wins.<\/p>\n<p>Win number 16 came thanks to an error from Dean Henderson at Bramall Lane &#8211; the Sheffield United goalkeeper letting Georginio Wijnaldum&#8217;s shot go through him &#8211; and a James Milner penalty deep into stoppage-time made it 17 on the bounce against Leicester in their next game.<\/p>\n<p>But Liverpool&#8217;s luck then ran out at Old Trafford, where Marcus Rashford gave arch-rivals Manchester United the lead. The Reds needed Adam Lallana to strike late to earn a point, but Liverpool had set a firm foundation for an unforgettable season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200b1st. Liverpool &#8211; 18 (October 2019-February 2020) <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Incredibly, Liverpool then immediately went on a slightly longer winning streak, a perfect purple patch spanning four months that effectively sealed their first title of the Premier League era. The Reds got back to winning ways thanks to a 2-1 comeback win at home to Spurs and even though they did not keep a clean sheet in any of their next five games, victories kept coming.<\/p>\n<p>While a 3-1 win at home to City was a sign there could be a changing of the guard, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/11095\/11895750\/leicester-0-4-liverpool-reds-thrash-nearest-rivals-to-extend-lead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a 4-0 clinic away to Leicester<\/a> was perhaps the highlight as Klopp&#8217;s side closed in on the title. Errors from West Ham stopper Lukasz Fabianski helped Liverpool to come from behind for a 3-2 win at Anfield to make it 18 wins in a row, but the series ended with a bump a few days later.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody had expected Watford to beat Liverpool but they battered the champions-elect 3-0 with Ismaila Sarr scoring a brace. Nevertheless, after the season was paused due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Liverpool eventually went on to claim the title their fans craved. Only two sides have ever managed 18 game winning streaks and Liverpool were one of them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1st. Manchester City &#8211; 18 (August-December 2017)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That wild night at Vicarage Road, one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/biggest-premier-league-upsets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the biggest Premier League upsets ever<\/a> meant Liverpool were unable to snatch the record for the longest Premier League winning streak out of the hands of City.<\/p>\n<p>Guardiola&#8217;s side are chasing their own benchmark after they hit stunning heights at the start of the 17-18 league season having finished third, 15 points behind Chelsea, in the previous term.<\/p>\n<p>Raheem Sterling&#8217;s 97th-minute winner at Bournemouth got the run going, with Sadio Mane&#8217;s red card contributing to Liverpool crumbling 5-0 at the Etihad in City&#8217;s next game. The next few weeks saw City beat Watford 6-0, Crystal Palace 5-0 and Stoke City 7-2 to get fans purring.<\/p>\n<p>A 2-1 win at Manchester United saw City become the first team in Premier League history to win 14 games in a row in a single season.<\/p>\n<p>City then put four past Swansea, Spurs and Bournemouth before edging past Newcastle to make it 18 in a row, but a goalless draw at Selhurst Park on New Year&#8217;s Eve ended the streak.<\/p>\n<p>So can City beat it this season? In-form West Ham are next with Wolves, Manchester United and Southampton then visiting the Etihad in a run of four home games ahead of a trip to Fulham.<\/p>\n<p>Win all of those and City will head to Leicester on Easter weekend with the record in their grasp.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You could earn up to \u00a3100 (or currency equivalent) in bonus funds by joining Colossus with our New Player Bonus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog_unpaid_content&amp;utm_campaign=blog_newplayerbonus\">Click here to join the action.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barring a collapse similar to Newcastle United in the 1995\u201396 season, Manchester City are going to reclaim their Premier League title.
