Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko can make Premier League history this season by extending his remarkable winning run when they visit West Ham United on Saturday.
The left-back has won all 22 of his Premier League appearances, the best 100 per cent record by any player in the competition's history.
Twenty of those appearances have been starts, as the 22-year-old helped Pep Guardiola's Man City to two Premier League titles.
Zinchenko's run also comfortably beats the next-best winning streak from the start of a player's Premier League career, held by two players.
Quinton Fortune won his first 12 matches for Manchester United, as did Zinchenko's team-mate, Phil Foden.
Another record in sight
If Zinchenko plays and wins in City's season opener at West Ham, he will match the best winning streak by a player in Premier League history.
Team-mate David Silva holds the record, winning 23 matches in succession up to 31 March 2018.

After joining PSV Eindhoven on loan following his summer transfer to City, Zinchenko won seven and drew five of his 12 Eredivisie matches.
