On November 9, 2019, Chelsea made history by recording a sixth consecutive Premier League win for the first time since their title-winning season of 2016-17.
The Blues' victory over Crystal Palace propelled them to second in the table, five points behind leaders Liverpool.
Frank Lampard's side moved above Manchester City, who play leaders Liverpool on Sunday, and could be leapfrogged by Leicester City, who host Arsenal at 17:30 GMT on Saturday.
Chelsea's win was largely due to the impressive performances of Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic, who scored the team's goals.
Abraham's 10th league goal of the season and Pulisic's header ensured the win against a resolute Palace side who barely got out of their own half during the first period.
Palace's defeat, their third in four games, leaves them ninth in the table.
Chelsea's youthful team, featuring Fikayo Tomori, 21, Mason Mount, 20, and Abraham, 22, have all come into the team, while Pulisic, 21, and 19-year-old Reece James, making his first Premier League start, ensured Lampard's starting side was the club's youngest ever in Premier League terms.
Lampard's clear identity and the finishing power of Abraham and Pulisic were key factors in Chelsea's win.
Abraham opened his body out wonderfully before guiding the ball past Palace keeper Vicente Guaita, as he moved level with Jamie Vardy at the top of the division's goalscoring charts.
American Pulisic, who was inventive throughout, capped an impressive performance with his fifth goal in his last three games.
