In the list of clubs that started the season with a score of seven wins and one draw in the first eight competition matches, the big three are of course also the most common. PSV did that four times, Ajax three times and Feyenoord twice. Outside of the traditional top three, FC Utrecht is only the fourth club in the Premier League to start the season so well. FC Twente (1968), ADO (1970) and AZ (2023) preceded FC Utrecht.
