Longest Premier League Winning Streak: All-Time Records and Current Runs

Historical data piece ranking the longest winning streaks by clubs and managers. Include current season context and how close any active run is to breaking records. Complements the existing 100 points article which is the third-best performing page on the site.

Some Premier League seasons produce moments of individual brilliance. Others produce something rarer: a team that simply refuses to stop winning. The clubs with the longest winning streaks in top-flight history did so by combining quality, depth, player fitness and a degree of ruthlessness that most teams only manage for a few weeks.

The longest winning streaks in Premier League history

The record is shared by Manchester City and Liverpool, both of whom have won 18 consecutive Premier League matches. No team has managed more.

City set the record first, during their extraordinary 2017/18 season under Pep Guardiola. After drawing with Everton in just the second game of the campaign, they won their next 18 in a row. The streak included thrashings of Liverpool 5-0, Watford 6-0, Crystal Palace 5-0 and Stoke City 7-2. They beat all of the top six at least once during the run. A goalless draw at Crystal Palace on New Year's Eve brought it to an end, though it barely mattered. City finished the season with 100 points, 19 clear of second-placed Manchester United, with records for most wins, most goals and biggest winning margin all broken in the same campaign.

Liverpool matched that record two seasons later. During their 2019/20 title-winning season, Klopp's side won 18 consecutive games between October 2019 and February 2020, a run that effectively ended the title race before Christmas. They had already gone 17 straight wins at the end of the previous season, meaning across 36 games Liverpool won 35 and drew one. A 3-0 defeat at Watford ended the 18-game run and gave the Hornets one of the most celebrated results in their recent history.

The next best streaks in Premier League history are:

Which managers have led the biggest winning runs?

Pep Guardiola dominates this list in a way that no other manager comes close to matching. He has overseen three of the top five longest winning streaks in Premier League history, all with Manchester City. 

Jurgen Klopp holds the joint record with his 2019/20 Liverpool side. The 18-game run was the culmination of the most dominant title-winning campaign the league had seen since City's 100-point season.

Antonio Conte's Chelsea ran up 13 consecutive wins during their 2016/17 title season, a record for the club and one of the most clinical stretches of football produced by a London side in the Premier League era. Chelsea conceded just four goals across those 13 games.

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal holds the record for the most goals scored during a single winning streak, given the attacking quality of the 2001/02 side that produced 14 consecutive victories. Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Sylvain Wiltord were all at the peak of their powers that season.

Could any current streak threaten the record?

As things stand in the 2025/26 season, no team has come close to threatening the record of 18. 

Aston Villa produced the most notable winning run of the current campaign, assembling eight consecutive Premier League wins between November and December 2025 under Unai Emery. It was their best run in the top division since 1910 and briefly put them in genuine title contention before the run ended.

Arsenal, currently leading the title race, have been consistently strong but haven’t strung together a run of more than six or seven consecutive wins this season. To beat the record of 18, a team would need to sustain a level of performance across nearly half a season without a single slip. Given the quality and depth across the current Premier League, that is an exceptionally difficult thing to achieve, which is probably why it’s only happened twice in 33 years.
