Top 10 Unbeaten Streaks Unveiled
Oliver Glasner is undeniably working wonders at Crystal Palace. Under his leadership, the Eagles clinched their first major trophy—the FA Cup—last season, triumphing over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the final. Despite the departures of key players Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze to Bayern Munich and Arsenal respectively in the previous summers, Palace continues to exceed expectations under Glasner. Recently, they secured a thrilling victory against reigning Premier League champions Liverpool at Selhurst Park, with Eddie Nketiah scoring a last-minute winner, making Palace the sole unbeaten team in the English top flight this season.
Moreover, their unbeaten run dates back to April across all competitions, which not only establishes a club record but also places the Eagles at the forefront among Europe’s elite teams. Palace has now gone 18 matches without defeat, their last loss occurring on April 16 when they were defeated 5-0 by Newcastle. But who else joins Glasner’s formidable Eagles in the top 10? At Transfermarkt, we have identified the teams in the current top-five leagues that have the longest undefeated streaks in all competitions.
