Newcastle United break all-time Premier League record against Leeds United – gallery
Newcastle have lost just once in the Premier League this season with that defeat coming at Liverpool in August. Since then, Eddie Howe’s side have been in fine form, going 12 games unbeaten.
The Magpies went nine games unbeaten under Howe between December 2021 and March 2022 last season but have gone two better this season as they head into 2023.
Here we look at Newcastle’s longest unbeaten runs in the Premier League over the course of the same season. We won’t be including the 11 or 17 game unbeaten streaks in the Championship in 2016-17 and 2009-10 respectively, or the 14 game streak over two seasons in 2011 – only Premier League matches during the same season since the club were promoted in 1993.
