Chelsea is another club that features in our list on more than one occasion. The Blues emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the English top-flight since the turn of the century and have bagged multiple honours since.

The 2007-08 season was set to be one of the most successful campaigns in their history, they were one of the favourites for the league title right until the very last day, they were the finalists in UEFA Champions League and the league cup as well. Alas, it was just not their time and despite all their efforts finished the season without a trophy the first time in four years.

They eventually came second to United in the league and also lost the Champions League final to them in Moscow. They were yet again defeated by United on penalties in the Community Shield and were beaten in the final of the League Cup by London rivals Spurs.

Nonetheless, they finished 2007-08 league campaign on a high, managing to avoid defeat in any of their last 21 games of the season and continued their form into the 2008-09 season under Luis Felipe Scolari as well to make it 29 games without a loss in the top flight.

It was Liverpool who brought Chelsea's remarkable unbeaten run of 29 games to a close at Stamford Bridge with a 1-0 win on 26 October 2008.
