** Thread correction, it's 4 not 3
Also 2 clean sheets on the trot
Villa away next. Hmmm, that record isn't in danger IMO
Villa play away in Barcelona on the Tuesday, just 3 days after playing Fulham (at 8pm on the Saturday)
Could be a plus for Fulham, Villa might rest a few players, avoid heavy tackles, or take their eyes off the ball a bit, etc.

We could have a good ebening....
Steed, apologies but our best consecutive run of wins in the PL is 4.
In the 2022/23 season we beat Palace away 3-0 on 26 December, then Southampton at home 2-1 on 31 December, then Leicester away 1-0 on 3 January, and finally Chelsea at home on 12 January 2-1. Among all that we also beat Hull 2-0 away in the FA Cup.
Ah well, half way there.
And as far as consecutive wins in the top flight are concerned, our best performance is the eight straight wins in the old Division 1 in the 1962/63 season, starting with the 3-1 win over Forest on 23 February 1963 and ending with the 2-0 win over West Ham on 6 April 1963 (goals scored in that run: 15, with just 3 conceded). We also managed five straight top flight wins in October 1959.

Hopefully this is correct.
Villa were up for the City game and will probably be up for the Barca game as well.
If they take their eyes off the ball as you say, we're a chance to grab something. Free hit really considering our record there under Silva
