The most consecutive wins in English football in all competitions – Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal, maybe Man City?

Manchester City have started the Pep Guardiola era in sensational style.

Since the Spaniard took over, City have won all 10 of the competitive matches they have played so far this season.

That includes six Premier League wins, two Champions League qualifiers, one Champions League group game and an EFL Cup match.

Next up for City it’s Celtic in the Champions League, followed by Tottenham in the Premier League.

Two more wins would see them overtake Tottenham’s 11 wins on the bounce from the start of the 1960/61 season.

But how does this City run compare with the best ever string of victories recorded by English top flight clubs?

We’ve got the answer, in the gallery above.

*Please note, only English top flight games and major cup competitions have been included in these statistics.

7 Manchester City have won 10 games in a row in all competitions – find out how this compares with the best winning streaks in English club football history by clicking the arrow above! – A win against Celtic in the Champions League on Wednesday night will see City equal Tottenham's record start to an English season, of 11 wins in a row. Although, Spurs achieved all their wins in the league, which remains a record start to a season in Europe's major leagues. Check out the top four winning streaks in English football history by clicking the arrow above.

7 Joint fourth: Man United – Won 11 games in a row in all comps between 17 August and 28 September 1985 (10 league games and one League Cup). Click the arrow to see which clubs can match or better United's record! – After losing the 1985 Charity Shield to champions Everton, FA Cup holders Manchester United won their first 10 games of the league season, plus a League Cup tie away to Crystal Palace, to make it 11 wins in a row. There is contention surrounding this run, however, as the Red Devils were beaten 4-2 at home by Everton on 18 September in the short-lived ScreenSport Super Cup, a competition designed to make up for the loss of European games following the UEFA ban on English clubs after the Heysel Stadium disaster. The Super Cup is not considered a major trophy* and rarely features in official season results, so we have excluded it here. Sadly for United boss Ron Atkinson, the club's great start to the season didn't last and a year later he was sacked, replaced by some bloke named Alex Ferguson.

7 Joint fourth: Liverpool – Won 11 games in a row in all comps in 2006 (9 league games and 2 FA Cup ties) and 1989 (9 league and 2 FA Cup). Click the arrow to see which grand old English club can match this record run… – Liverpool have won 11 consecutive games in all competitions on two occasions, between 18 February and 11 April 1989 under the management of Kenny Dalglish, and between 15 March and 7 May 2006 with Rafael Benitez in charge. In 1989 the run put Liverpool back in the league title race, but was interrupted and overshadowed by the Hillsborough disaster. 17 years later Benitez's Liverpool surged into the Champions League places and into the FA Cup final off the back of their winning streak, which came to an end under happy circumstances, when the Reds drew 3-3 with West Ham in Cardiff, but won the cup on penalties.

7 Joint fourth: Aston Villa – Won 11 games in a row in all comps between 20 March and 18 September 1897 (9 league games and 2 FA Cup ties) – The 1896/97 season ended gloriously for Villa, as they wrapped up the league title with five consecutive wins, then won the double beating Liverpool in the FA Cup semis and Everton in the final (pictured above at the old Crystal Palace stadium, with views about as good as West Ham's London Stadium). They won four more league games at the start of the following season, but couldn't keep it up and ended up sixth.

7 3. Everton – Won 12 games in a row (all league) between 24 March and 13 October 1894. Click the arrow to see which legendary team is second! – Everton originally played at Anfield and won their first league title there in 1891, but a dispute with the landlord led the Toffees to move across Stanley Park (and to the founding of Liverpool FC). In 1894 it looked like Everton might claim their second title, winning their first eight games of the season, having won the last four of the previous campaign. But after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Goodison on 13 October, the run came to an end with a 4-3 defeat at Blackburn, and the Blues ended the season in second place, behind Sunderland.

7 2. Tottenham – Won 13 games in a row (all league) between 23 April and 1 October 1960. Click the arrow to find out which team is number one… – Spurs' remarkable run began with a 3-1 win at Wolves and ended with a 4-0 win away to the same opposition. In between, they set a top flight record of 11 consecutive wins at the start of a league season, and by the end of the 1960/61 campaign had won the first League and FA Cup double since Aston Villa in 1897.
