The unbeaten sequence matches Newcastle's best winning run since Kevin Keegan guided his star-studded crop to seven successive Premier League triumphs in 1996.
Those victories:
SUNDERLAND (A) 2-1; SPURS (A) 2-1; BLACKBURN (H) 2-1; LEEDS (A) 1-0; ASTON VILLA (H) 4-3; DERBY (A) 1-0 and MAN UTD (H) 5-0.
Chris Hughton: "It's wonderful, to be where we are at this moment speaks volumes for this team.
"We hope it gives us the confidence and the strength to keep getting good results.
"There are a few records that have been mentioned. The most important thing for us, though, is to keep getting results and, if we're able to keep a good gap where we are, then that's the real bonus.
"We can do all the talking, clean sheets and winning runs but, ultimately, there's only one thing that matters and that's at the end of the season."
