Exhibit Narrative
49 consecutive Premier League matches without defeat — the only undefeated season in modern English top-flight history.
Under Arsène Wenger, Arsenal went undefeated through the entire 2003–04 Premier League season, earning the nickname 'The Invincibles.' They extended their unbeaten run to 49 matches before losing to Manchester United in October 2004. No team has since completed an entire Premier League campaign without a single loss.
