The Premier League is one of the toughest leagues in the world. Winning the league is not an easy job and to do so, a series of wins is definitely a necessity.
Every successful team in the Premier League has somewhere witnessed a good run of matches in order to secure the title. While that is easier said than done, teams have found a way to extend that run longer than expected.
Let's take a look at those record-setting runs in the Premier League.
#5 Arsenal (February to August 2002 - 14 games)
The 2001-02 season saw Arsenal crowned as Premier League champions. The Gunners secured the title with a seven-point gap between them and second-placed Liverpool.

It was then that the London club went on an impressive run, winning 14 games in a row. Post the 1-1 draw against Southampton in February 2002, Arsene Wenger's men showed terrific character to pull off this amazing feat. Since that match, Arsenal registered victories for the rest of the season in the Premier League.
The run continued into the 2002-03 season with a victory in their opening fixture against Birmingham City. The winning spree ended in the following match against West Ham United as the game ended in a 2-2 draw.
#4 Manchester City (February to August 2019 - 15 games)
After a 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United in January 2019, a lot was at stake for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. He had to turn it around with Liverpool posing a massive threat to win the Premier League in the 2019-20 season.
Post the defeat against the Magpies, Manchester City went on an amazing run of winning 15 games in a row. The Citizens were quite brutal with their victories as one of the wins saw them beat Chelsea with a 6-0 scoreline.
The run was key for Pep Guardiola's side as it helped them win the Premier League by a margin of just one point. Their streak continued the following season but ended in Manchester City's second league match when Tottenham Hotspur held City to a 2-2 draw.
#3 Liverpool (March to October 2019 - 17 games)
The Premier League saw an interesting battle in the 2018-19 season when Manchester City and Liverpool went head to head to secure the title. Both teams competed strongly but in the end, City had the last laugh.
Liverpool went on to win their last nine Premier League matches of the season. The run continued into the following season when the Reds registered 8 consecutive victories in the league. It was that very season where they went on to win the league after a drought of 30 years.
Their run of 17 games remains one of the best runs for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp. Their impressive run came to an end when they drew 1-1 against Manchester United in October 2020.
#2 Liverpool (October 2019 to February 2020 - 18 games)
The 2019-20 season will always have a special place in the hearts of Liverpool fans. Winning the Premier League was something they had wished for after going almost three decades without a domestic league title.
As mentioned earlier, the Reds had an amazing start to the 2019-20 season, winning all of their first eight matches. After the 1-1 draw against Manchester United, they again went on a winning spree—this time, it carried on for a longer time.
The winning run went on for 18 Premier League matches. It ended when Watford beat them 3-0 in February 2020. Nonetheless, it was a memorable run, which eventually helped them win their much awaited silverware.
#1 Manchester City (August to December 2017 - 18 games)
Manchester City have had a lot of success in the recent past in the Premier League. Their best league victory has to be in the 2017-18 season when they recorded 100 points to secure the title.
In the process of doing so, they went on a stellar run of winning 18 games in a row. After winning their first Premier League game against Brighton, Manchester City drew against Everton. It was only after that result that Pep Guardiola's side went on a rampage in the league.
This series of wins involved some high scoring games. They beat Stoke City 7-2, Liverpool 5-0, Watford 6-0, and Crystal Palace 5-0 and provided many such amazing results on their way to winning 18 games in a row. Crystal Palace ended their fabulous run with a 0-0 draw in December 2017.
