Revealed: Clubs with the longest winning streaks to kick-off a Premier League season

#1 Chelsea (9 wins, 2005-06 season)

Chelsea v Fulham — Chelsea was managed by Jose Mourinho in the 2005-06 season

It was his stint with Chelsea that really earned Jose Mourinho the 'Special One' tag. He had won the Premier League in his first season as in charge.

And the Chelsea team continued their form right into the 2005-06 season and set a new Premier League record for most consecutive wins at the beginning of the campaign, by securing victories in 9 back to back league matches.

Chelsea's 100% record would eventually be spoiled by Everton in a 1-1 draw, but they would go on to become the Premier League for the second year running and also League Cup winners that season.
