Chelsea broke their club record for consecutive wins with a Boxing Day victory over Bournemouth - and they are now closing in on the Premier League record for back-to-back successes.
The Blues' victory against Bournemouth was their 12th in a row, putting them one win away from matching Arsenal's 2001/02 milestone. They play Stoke next on New Year's Eve before a derby at Tottenham on January 4, live on Sky Sports.
Here, we take a look at the best winning runs Premier League teams have recorded within a season…
11 - Manchester United - 2008/09 (Champions)
Manchester United won 11 games in a row between Boxing Day 2008 and March 2009 and kept nine clean sheets in the process. In fact, they conceded just twice in that impressive run, scoring 21.
That defensive record was shattered in stunning style by arch rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford in a 4-1 win for the visitors.
However, United - with a team including Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez and Edwin van der Sar - had the last laugh, beating Rafael Benitez's side to the title to seal a third Premier League win in a row and equal Liverpool's record of 18 league crowns.
11 - Liverpool - 2013/14 (Runners-up)
Liverpool ignited their Premier League title challenge with a 5-1 win over Arsenal in early February 2014 and won their next 10 games through to the end of April, scoring 38 goals in the process as in-form Luis Suarez led the way.
There was a 3-0 win at Manchester United, and home triumphs over Tottenham and Manchester City fuelled the belief this could be Liverpool's year.
But a 2-0 defeat at home to Chelsea - featuring captain Steven Gerrard's infamous and costly slip - knocked the Reds off course and a collapse at Crystal Palace saw them miss out on a maiden Premier League title.
11 - Manchester United - 1999/00 (Champions)
Manchester United dominated the 1999/00 Premier League season and showed off their superiority with an 11-game winning running from March through to the end of the season in May.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men scored 37 goals during the run, including seven against West Ham and four against Bradford, Middlesbrough and Sunderland in a brutal four-game spell.
United - in the era of David Beckham, Roy Keane and Teddy Sheringham - eventually won the Premier League by a record 18 points, with 97 goals to their name.
12* - Chelsea - 2016/17 (TBC)
Antonio Conte was under pressure following Chelsea's 3-0 defeat at Arsenal in September, but since then the Italian has overseen a remarkable turnaround in form.
Chelsea had gone four without a win in all competitions with that loss but the table-toppers have since won 12 Premier League games in a row, conceding just twice - a club record.
They can equal the best-ever run in the Premier League with victory over Stoke City on New Year's Eve.
13 - Arsenal - 2001/02 (Champions)
With Thierry Henry in full flow, Arsenal won a record 13 Premier League matches in a row at the end of the 2001/02 season, starting and ending against Everton.
From February to May, Arsene Wenger's men were unstoppable, and wrapped up the Premier League title in the penultimate round of fixtures with a 1-0 win at Manchester United.
Those 13 wins secured a seven-point margin of victory at the top of the Premier League table from Liverpool to go with their FA Cup win; their second double under the Frenchman.
