Manchester United On Brink Of Club Record Undefeated Run

Manchester United will set a new club record for their longest unbeaten run within a single top-flight season, should they avoid defeat against Swansea.

United's 0-0 draw with Manchester City on Thursday extended their current streak without defeat in the Premier League to 24 games, matching their best-ever single-season spell from 2010/11.

Now there's every chance Jose Mourinho's men can set a new benchmark on Sunday at home to a Swansea City side stuck in the relegation zone.

United's 24-game run is the eighth-best undefeated top-flight streak within a single season in history and stretches back to a 4-0 loss to Chelsea on October 23. Since then they've won 13 and drawn 11.

The best record of this kind, of course, belongs to Arsenal's Invincibles of 2003/04, who completed an entire 38-game Premier League campaign without suffering a loss.

England's other Invincibles, Preston North End, went 18 games without defeat in the first-ever Football League season, 1888/89.
