The Magpies drew with Manchester United and Watford before picking up three consecutive wins against Leeds United, Everton and Aston Villa. A draw at West Ham United stopped the streak of victories but Eddie Howe’s side returned to winning ways at Brentford before beating Brighton and Southampton.
The run has seen United climb from 19th to 14th in the table, 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Newcastle have now gone on their longest winless run and longest unbeaten run in over a decade, all in the same season. A fact that epitomises the club’s turnaround under Howe.
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, only Premier League matches since the club were promoted in 1993.

The end of the 2005-06 season saw Newcastle end the season in emphatic fashion to claim a seventh placed finish under Glenn Roeder, who sadly passed away a year ago today. The Magpies' end to the season saw them win six and draw one of their final seven matches, including a final day win against Chelsea at St James's Park. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
4. 1993-94: 8 matches
Newcastle's first ever season in the Premier League was one to remember as they ended the campaign in third following a strong end to the season. It remains the highest finish of any newly promoted side in the Premier League era. Between February and April, Kevin Keegan's side went on an eight game unbeaten run which included a run of six straight wins followed by two draws. The run was ended by a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City. Photo: Phil Cole
