Win your home games and draw your away games. It’s the basic recipe for success in football.
It doesn’t matter what level you’re competing at - the gaffer will always be drilling the message into players to try and make home turf a fortress.
Due to the nature of the Premier League and the size of the crowds that fill out stadiums at the top, though, it’s now more important than ever for teams to make sure they do just that.
Liverpool were unbeaten at Anfield in 2019/20 and went on to win the league and whilst that’s obviously not going to be the case for everyone - it does show just how key a good record on your own patch can be in the grand scheme of things.
With all that in mind, we’ve taken a look at who has been dominating on home soil so far this season.
