Manchester United will be hoping history does not repeat itself tonight when they attempt to set a club record of 16 unbeaten top-flight games at the start of the season.
United have gone 15 matches without defeat so far, just as they did in the 1985-86 campaign.
Ron Atkinson's side won their opening 10 Canon Division One matches as part of the run, but it came to a shattering halt on November 9 when they crashed 1-0 at Sheffield Wednesday in front of a crowd of 48,105.
The loss proved a bad omen as United fell away badly in the second half of the season, finishing in fourth place, 12 points behind champions Liverpool.
Man Utd (Nov 9, 1985): Gary Bailey, John Gidman, Arthur Albiston, Norman Whiteside, Paul McGrath, Kevin Moran, Bryan Robson, Jesper Olsen, Mark Hughes, Frank Stapleton, Peter Barnes. Sub: Gordon Strachan.
