How many times has a Premier League gameweek had no home wins?

What the report says

BBC Sport reports that Leeds United’s Monday meeting with Newcastle United could create a rare Premier League record if the home side does not win at Elland Road. The question is whether an entire league matchweek can pass without a home victory, something that has happened only three times before in the competition’s history.

According to the BBC’s Ask Me Anything explainer, the opening nine fixtures of this round produced no home wins, with a mix of draws and away victories already recorded across the weekend. If Newcastle avoid defeat, this would be the fourth Premier League matchweek in which no home team has won. The last such occurrence was in September 2000, while the other examples came in December 1996 and on Boxing Day 1994.

The article also gives broader context, noting that this is the 1,308th round of Premier League fixtures since the league began in 1992. That means a home-win-free matchweek has been extremely uncommon across more than three decades of competition. BBC Sport says the pattern has occurred in only a tiny share of rounds, underscoring how unusual Monday’s possible outcome would be.

The significance is mostly historical, but it also reflects how competitive the current season has been, with Leeds and Newcastle among the teams yet to lose a league fixture at the time of publication.
