The Reds equalled Manchester City's 18-game run from the 2017-18 season with a dramatic 3-2 win over West Ham on Monday night - a result which sent them 22 points clear of Pep Guardiola's side. Mohamed Salah and Co have not dropped points since being held to a 1-1 draw by fierce rivals Manchester United back in October of last year. Their first Premier League title now looks a certainty and more records are likely to be broken too, with City's 100-point total from a couple of seasons ago now well and truly in their sights. The most unexpected winning streak on our list was put together by Chelsea back in 2016 when Antonio Conte's men picked up maximum points from 13 games. The Italian had endured an up-and-down start to his time at Stamford Bridge, earning wins over West Ham, Watford and Burnley in his first three matches, before a draw with Swansea and defeats by Liverpool and Arsenal. The Blues looked like a different side for the rest of the season and their 13-game winning run - which included victories over Manchester United, City and Tottenham - catapulted them to the top of the table. A 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, courtesy of Sylvain Wiltord's strike, gave Wenger's men the Premier League title and ensured the Red Devils finished the season trophyless. Arsenal rounded off the season with a thrilling 4-3 win over Everton at Highbury before celebrating with the trophy, and then kicked off the 2002-03 campaign with three points at home to Birmingham to make it 14 in a row. Vincent Kompany's wonder-strike against Leicester gave them a crucial victory in their penultimate game of the season and ensured the title was in their hands going into the final day. City racked up No 15 on the opening day of this season with a thumping 5-0 triumph of West Ham, before Tottenham - and a late VAR decision - ended their streak with a 2-2 draw at the Etihad. After drawing four of six games between January 30 and March 3 of last year, Liverpool made sure the title race went to the final day of the season with their own brilliant run of form. Having been held to a 0-0 draw by local rivals Everton at Goodison Park, Klopp's men went on to win their final nine games of the season in style.
