The English winless record in the competition is eight matches, set by Arsenal between 2002 and 2003.
If Spurs concede at least twice, they break the English record for conceding at least twice in most CL matches in a row. Their current streak of five matches equals Chelsea (2004-2005) and Manchester City (2013-2014).
