Best starts - the stats!

Mauricio's Pochettino's squad therefore toppled six matches set in 2004-05.

Take a look back in the history books and, no surprise, our double-winning team of 1960-61 set the standard.

Bill Nicholson's men won their first 11 matches in the old Division One - a win mark yet to be toppled in the top flight - on their way to 16 matches unbeaten that season. Coincidentally, it was City who halted that run with a draw but the team responded with another four wins to make it 16 unbeaten before finally losing against Sheffield Wednesday.

We've reached the 12-match unbeaten mark twice - 1959-60 and 1919-20 (in Division Two) - and the last time we hit double-figures was in Division One in 1990-91.
