Longest Home Unbeaten Streaks in Premier League History

They say that home advantage has diminished over the years, but there's still something about a packed and passionate home crowd which can turn any ground into a fortress. We've taken a look through the history books to see which Premier League teams have been able to go unbeaten for the longest stretch at home, and the list contains some legendary teams.

So, what are the longest home unbeaten streaks for every team in the Premier League? Take a look below!

1. Chelsea – 86 games (20th March 2004 to 5th October 2008)

The kind of record that may never be broken, this particular run stretched across 6 separate seasons, Chelsea’s 1st and 2nd Premier League titles, and the tenures of Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourinho and Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Liverpool can take some glee in the fact that, though they may not have matched the Blues’ record, they did end it on 26th October 2008 with a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge.

2. Liverpool – 68 games (7th May 2017 to 17th January 2021)

Even during the empty era of the pandemic, the ghosts of Anfield made sure that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool never walked alone.

Their silver medal-winning performance is bookended by goalless draws against Southampton and Man United, before being nixed by an 83rd-minute Burnley penalty mid-week.

3. Man City – 37 games (26th December 2010 to 1st December 2012)

Quite a drop-off from 2nd place, Man City pick up bronze with a home unbeaten run that fell a few weeks shy of 2 years.

It will stick in the craw of City fans that the streak was shut down by Man United, courtesy of an injury-time strike from Robin van Persie.

4. Man United – 36 games (26th December 1998 to 2nd December 2000)

Coming in just behind their "noisy neighbours" are Man United. Sir Alex Ferguson's side carried fearsome form at Old Trafford from the nineties into the new millennium, spanning the latter half of their treble-winning season in 98/99 to a 3rd consecutive title in 00/01.

United actually have another remarkable run under their belt – a 35-game stretch from December 1994 to November 1996.

5. Arsenal – 32 games (7th May 2003 to 23rd January 2005)

Finally it’s the turn of the Invincibles. Arsenal’s PB starts with a 6-1 win against Southampton at the tail end of 02/03, and goes all the way through 03/04, with their final home victory a 1-0 run-out against Newcastle.

And then, heartbreak. Alex Ferguson and co. did it again, ending the Invincible's' streak, with a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo helping them to a 4-2 win.

6. Newcastle – 26 games (23rd February 1994 to 8th April 1995)

St James' Park is one of English football's most intimidating grounds, with the steep banks providing an unrivalled atmosphere.

This was in full effect back in the early days of the Premier League, when the Magpies put together a 26-game streak, the longest run of any team to never win the title.

7. Leicester – 20 games (24th October 2015 to 22nd October 2016)

Could it be any other period? After being walloped 5-2 at home to Arsenal, Leicester wouldn't lose during their next 15 fixtures at the King Power Stadium, a run that saw them sweep to the title.

However, they would comecrashing back down to earth in 2016/17. After 5 further unbeaten games at home, the Foxes suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to West Brom.

8. Tottenham – 19 games (20th August 2016 to 14th May 2017)

One of Tottenham’s great if-onlys, 2016/17 saw them unbeaten at home in their final season at White Hart Lane. Yet it wasn’t enough for them to win the league, finishing 7 points shy of Antonio Conte’s Chelsea.

Any hopes of extending that record into the next season were then dashed as they lost their first ‘home’ game – at Wembley – 2-1 to the defending champions.

9. Aston Villa – 17 games (18th February 2023 to 30th January 2024)

Unai Emery has taken Aston Villa from relegation battles to European football in the blink of an eye, and their formidable record at Villa Park has played a huge part in that.

Their finest run at home came during the second half of the 2022/23 season, when they started a 17-game unbeaten run which would last until the middle of the following campaign.

10. Leeds – 16 games (30th August 1993 to 17th April 1994)

Despite long stretches outside the Premier League, Leeds still crack the top 10 with a 16-game unbeaten streak at Elland Road.

However, you do have to go back some way, with their record coming in just the 2nd season following the rebrand. Their run was ended by none other than cross-M62 rivals, Man United.
