Top 10 longest unbeaten streaks in the English Premier League and how they ended

#5 (Joint fourth) Manchester City (2017-18) - 30 matches

Manchester City won their first Premier League under Pep Guardiola in 2017-18

Manchester City came to dominate the Premier League in the previous decade, winning their maiden league title in the 2011-12 season and bagging three more in eight years since. But it is under Pep Guardiola that they have turned into a force of nature.

The team reached its peak in the 2017-18 season and set several Premier League records that term, including most points (100), most away points (50), most wins (32), most away wins (16), most goals (106), best goal difference (+79) and most consecutive victories (18).

Well, with such a plethora of records to look at, it is easy to overlook one of their lesser-known achievements in the same period. They remained unbeaten in the top-flight for 30 games, emerging victorious in no less than 26 of them. They were looking unbeatable at times and many backed them to go undefeated throughout the season.

After dropping just eight points until the new year, Liverpool put a break on their juggernaut, in a highly entertaining fixture that ended 4-3 on 14 January 2018 at Anfield.
