Who has played the most consecutive games with an academy graduate in their squad?

Premier League sides get a lot of flak - some justified, some not so much - for ignoring their youth products. We try to get who deserves it, and who doesn't as we drill down the data to find out which of the 20 first division teams in England has played the most number of consecutive games with at least one academy graduate in their matchday squad.

This is the criteria for identifying an Academy graduate - a) played in the academy, b) joined the club prior to 18th birthday.
