How many times has a Premier League gameweek had no home wins?
September 14, 2026 10:00
Nine of the ten fixtures in Premier League matchweek four produced no home victories: there were four draws and away wins for Ipswich Town, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City. A final game — Leeds United v Newcastle United at Elland Road on Monday — remained to be played; if Newcastle avoid defeat, the entire round will have passed without a single home win.
Leeds and Newcastle were also noted among the eight teams yet to lose this season, according to the same source.
KEY CONTEXT
A full Premier League matchweek with zero home wins is extremely uncommon. Before this potential occurrence there have been three such rounds: Boxing Day 1994, December 1996, and 23–24 September 2000. In the 2000 example seven of the 10 fixtures finished level, with away victories for Southampton, West Ham United and Charlton Athletic.
The 2023–24 round in question is the 1,308th round of fixtures since the Premier League began in August 1992.
WHY IT MATTERS
If the Leeds v Newcastle game ends without a home victory, it would mark only the fourth time in Premier League history that an entire matchweek has produced no home wins — underlining how rare that pattern is across more than three decades of the competition. The statistic highlights an unusual concentration of draws and away wins across a single weekend of fixtures.
WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
The decisive moment is the Monday fixture at Elland Road. The result of Leeds v Newcastle will determine whether this matchweek joins the three previous instances in Premier League history with zero home wins.
KEY FACTS
- Opening nine fixtures of matchweek four: four draws and five away wins (Ipswich Town, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Brighton & Hove Albion, Manchester City).
- A full matchweek with no home victories has previously happened three times: Boxing Day 1994, December 1996 and 23–24 September 2000.
- The 2000 instance featured seven draws and away wins for Southampton, West Ham United and Charlton Athletic.
- This is the 1,308th round since the Premier League began in August 1992; zero-home-win rounds have occurred in 0.22% of past matchweeks.
- That frequency equates to roughly once every 11½ seasons in a 38-week campaign.
