Week 19- Arsenal only home team to win in full round of fixtures- Chelsea, LFC, MUFC draw

Home advantage counts for quite a bit in the Premier League, so it was kind of interesting that Arsenal were the only home team to win a game in this round of Premier League fixtures (Week 19 of the 2025/26 season).

The Gunners laid down a marker by thrashing Aston Villa 4-1- Unai Emery’s men have been a thorn in the side of the Gunners in recent years, but were soundly beaten by Mikel Arteta’s charges.

Interestingly, there were as many as SEVEN draws in Round 19, and Spurs, Liverpool and Man City were all involved in 0-0 games. LFC didn’t have even a single 0-0 result in 24/25.
