If you asked EPL fans to guess which Premier League team has the longest unbeaten run, very few would say Brentford. Nonetheless, The Bees enjoyed a 12-game unbeaten run, with their last win against Fulham. They were the first to score in the competitive match and held on to win 3-2 at the Community Stadium.

That means that Thomas Frank’s side last tasted defeat on October 23, making it the longest active streak of any English Premier League club. Even sports betting fans must have been surprised by Brentford’s form. If you wager on the EPL, you can use the Betway sign up code to sign up on the platform and enjoy unmatched odds. This was an impressive run for Thomas Frank and his team because the fixtures were not particularly kind.

For example, they faced top English teams such as Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, and Arsenal in that period. The Bees managed to get eight points from these top teams, which is an impressive achievement. Out of the 12 matches, Brentford have registered six wins and six draws. They have also scored 22 goals, conceded 11, and bagged 23 points in the process.

However, the league’s high this season is still Newcastle’s. The Magpies went 17 games unbeaten between September and February before they lost 2-0 to Liverpool at St. Jame’s Park. Out of the “big six,” only Arsenal has a better record than Brentford. Arteta’s men went 13 games unbeaten for several months in a run that began with a 3-0 win over Brentford and ended with a surprising 1-0 loss to Everton.

On the other hand, defending champions, Manchester City went on a nine games unbeaten run from the start of the season before losing to Liverpool in October. The Citizens also recorded 12 straight wins at the end of last season.

Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur managed seven games without tasting defeat from Matchday one. Chelsea, who are struggling this season, also managed a six-game unbeaten run between September and October. Bitter rivals Manchester United and Liverpool have managed five consecutive games without defeat so far this season.

The Bees also boast the most consistent penalty taker in the EPL. Ivan Toney scored his latest penalty in the 3-2 win against Fulham to maintain his 100% conversion rate in the EPL. Toney has scored 10 EPL penalties since Brentford entered the EPL. The Brentford forward has scored 22 penalties in all competitions since he joined the Bees in 2020.
