Liverpool Pursues Historic Unbeaten Away Season in Premier League

LIVERPOOL, England — Liverpool Football Club is on the verge of achieving a historic milestone in the Premier League as they aim to become only the fifth team in English top-flight history to finish an entire season unbeaten on the road. With just four matches remaining in the 2024/25 season, Liverpool has maintained a 12-point lead at the top of the table and is poised to secure their second Premier League title.

Currently, Liverpool is unbeaten away from home this season, boasting a record of 10 wins and five draws from 15 matches. They face crucial upcoming matches against Fulham, Brighton, Newcastle, and Everton, needing to avoid defeat in all four to accomplish the remarkable feat. Their lone league loss this season was at Anfield against Manchester City.

In examining history, teams that have finished undefeated in away matches include notable examples from Premier League lore. For instance, Manchester United achieved this remarkable feat during the 2020/21 season, finishing second in the league while going unbeaten away—for the first time in 17 years. They won 12 matches and drew seven, setting a record for the longest unbeaten away run in Premier League history with 29 matches.

“It was a remarkable achievement,” said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the manager of Manchester United during that time. “The players showed great resilience, and it’s a testament to their hard work and dedication.”

Arsenal‘s legendary “Invincibles” season in 2003/04 remains one of the most celebrated moments in Premier League history. Under manager Arsène Wenger, Arsenal went unbeaten both at home and on the road, finishing with a record of 11 wins and eight draws on their way to the title.

“Every match felt like an occasion,” said Thierry Henry, one of the stars of that Arsenal team. “We believed in ourselves and each other, and that made the difference.”

Preston North End set the original benchmark for unbeaten seasons back in 1888/89 by finishing their league campaign without a loss, dominating their opponents with an incredible goal difference.

As Liverpool approaches its final matches of the season, the pressure mounts for the team to secure a place in history among football’s elite. The Reds’ head coach has expressed confidence in their squad as they navigate these final hurdles.

“We have prepared for these games, and the players are ready,” he stated. “We understand the significance of this moment, and we will give our all to achieve it.”

With a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title within their sights, Liverpool’s quest for an unbeaten away season adds another layer of excitement for fans and players alike as they look to etch their names into football folklore.
