Villa are gaining momentum, but they still have a long way to go to match the Premier League’s top winning streaks.
The record is held by Manchester City (2017-18) and Liverpool (2019-20), both of whom achieved 18 consecutive wins during their title-winning seasons.
City’s remarkable run contributed to a total of 100 points, the highest ever in an English top-flight campaign.
Liverpool also notched 18 straight wins at the start of the 2019-20 season under Jurgen Klopp, finishing with 26 wins and one draw from their first 27 games, totaling 79 points. This remains the best start in one of Europe’s top leagues, culminating in a championship win.
