Premier League Week Four is on the brink of a rare historical moment. Should Leeds United not secure a victory against Newcastle United in their Monday night clash, it will mark only the fourth occasion in the league's history that an entire matchweek has concluded without a single home win.
The opening nine fixtures of the current week have already seen four draws and five away victories for Ipswich Town, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Brighton and Hove Albion, and Manchester City. This means no home team has taken all three points so far.
The last time such a feat occurred was between 23-24 September 2000. Prior to that, it happened in December 1996 and on Boxing Day 1994. With 1,307 full rounds of fixtures completed since August 1992, a matchweek with zero home wins has occurred in approximately 0.22% of campaigns.
