It is located in Ashburton Grove, North London, and opened in July 2006. It was originally known by the name of the city where it was located until it was renamed Emirates Stadium in 2004 after being purchased by the same-named airline. 

The stadium has a maximum seating capacity of 60,260, placing it third in the Premier League behind Old Trafford and the brand new Tottenham Stadium, and fourth in the United Kingdom. It has been the site of Arsenal's home matches for nearly two decades.

Villa Park (ASTON VILLA)

It was first introduced in 1897 and was made by Sir Archibald Leitch in Birmingham, West Midlands. It was originally used for a variety of sports because it had tracks designed for athletics and cycling, but it has been exclusively used for Aston Villa internal meetings since 1922. 

It has a maximum capacity of 42,682 spectators and is the only stadium in the world to have hosted national team matches for three centuries.

Brighton played their first game at the new £ 75 million facility in 2011, after years of interruptions and difficulties of various kinds. It is named after the American company that owns the renaming rights, American Express, and is located in the city of Brighton in the county of East Sussex. 

The facility now has a maximum capacity of 30,750 people, thanks to the expansion of the eastern grandstand and subsequent expansion work completed between 2012 and 2014.

Turf Moor (BURNLEY)

Burnley has called it home since 1883, and it is located on Harry Potts Way in the town of the same name in Lancashire. Turf, like Deepdale and Bramall Lane, is one of the oldest plants, and one of the few that still has the tunnel and changing rooms behind the doors. 

The venue, which costs only 5.3 million pounds to build, can hold a maximum of 22,702 spectators. Following the Taylor Report in the second half of the 1990s, the stadium underwent numerous changes, culminating in the construction of the James Hargreaves Grandstand.

Stamford Bridge (CHELSEA)

Without a doubt, one of England's most glamorous stadiums, it is also the venue with the most years of service in British football history. Chelsea has called the stadium home since 1877, and it is located in London, specifically in the middle of Fulham Road, on the outskirts of the Chelsea district. 

Roman Abramovic is a fascinating mystery; according to rumors, the Russian businessman would have decided to buy the company only after viewing the structure from the top of his helicopter. It has a capacity of 41,631 spectators.

Selhurst Park (CRYSTAL PALACE)

Selhurst Park is located in the suburb of South Norwood, in the meanders of the Croydon district, and was officially inaugurated by the Mayor of London on August 30, 1924. 

The land had been purchased by the Brighton Railway Company a few years before, but the stadium was designed by the famous architect Archibald Leitch and built by the Humphreys of Kensington. The Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic, and Wimbledon have all played at the stadium, which has a total capacity of 25,073 people.

Goodison Park (EVERTON)

Everton's home games have not always been held at Goodison Park. In fact, before 1892, when it was founded, the Toffees were based in none other than Anfield. 

Everton decided to move to Stanley Park after the camp's rent increased at the end of the 1890-1891 season; waiting for them is the wonderful, albeit underpowered Goodison Park, which now has 39,572 seats following restoration and modernization works.

Craven Cottage (FULHAM)

Prior to construction, Baron William Craven decided to build a sophisticated cottage on the property in 1870, which was later frequented by celebrities such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and even Queen Victoria. 

Following a fire in the cottage a few years later, the Fulham football club decided to build a stadium in agreement with the landowners, which was completed in 1896. The Cottagers, on the other hand, were forced to leave their home for a period in 2002, following the Hillsborough disaster and the Premier League's imposition of preferential seating. 

The club played for three years at Loftus Road because Craven Cottage did not meet the Premier League's requirements. Following renovations, the venue now seats 25,700 people and is located near Bishop Park.

Elland Road (LEEDS UNITED)

Elland Road, which is located in Beeston, Leeds, has hosted home matches for the Lilywhites since 1919 when the club was founded. It is also the largest stadium in Yorkshire and the 14th largest in the United Kingdom. 

In addition to hosting some FA Cup finals and Euro 1996 competitions, the venue has also hosted concerts by U2, Queen, Happy Mondays, and the Kaiser Chiefs. The stadium now has a capacity of 37,890 people, thanks to the necessary extensions mandated by the Taylor report.

King Power Stadium (LEICESTER CITY)

In 2002, Leicester celebrated the opening of the King Power Stadium, a new stadium on Filbert Way not far from the old Filbert Street stadium, which had to close due to capacity constraints. 

Following financial difficulties as a result of relegation, Leicester decided to sell the plant to the club's sponsor and parent company, King Power, on March 1, 2013. The structure, which is nearing a new extension, can hold up to 32,312 spectators.

Anfield (LIVERPOOL)

It was first used by Everton in 1884 and is located in the city of Liverpool, where it has hosted the Reds' home games since 1892. Apart from the fans' chants of ``You'll Never Walk Alone”, the writing "This Is Anfield" on the wall that precedes the tunnel for the players to enter the field is undoubtedly a defining feature of Anfield. 

Due to some structural limitations of Fortress Anfield, Liverpool's board of directors finally rejected the idea of moving the team to a new stadium in 2005. Limits that still allow for a maximum capacity of 54,074 people.

Etihad Stadium (MANCHESTER CITY)

The then City Of Manchester Stadium, which cost a whopping 164 million pounds to construct, was built primarily to host the 2002 Commonwealth Games. In addition, it was briefly designated as the venue for the National Three Lions' matches, a decision that ultimately went to Wembley. 

Following that, the facility became increasingly inclined to host football events, and with the athletics track removed, it attracted a large number of buyers. Manchester City purchased it in the 2003-2004 season, and it now has a capacity of 55,097 seats.

Old Trafford (MANCHESTER UNITED)

Old Trafford has hosted Manchester United matches since 1910 and is located in the city of Trafford, in the county of Great Manchester. 

The Red Devils were hosted by the bitter rivals and cousins of the City on Maine Road during this period, as it was severely damaged by German bombing in 1941 and remained uninhabitable until 1949. Due to numerous renovations, the plant was even the largest on the British island until the opening of Wembley Stadium. 

It was the national team's training ground, and in May 2003, AC Milan and Juventus faced off in a match that determined who would win the Champions League. It is now Europe's 11th largest stadium, with a capacity of 74,994 spectators.

St James' Park (NEWCASTLE UNITED)

St James' Park is located in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, just a few steps from the train station. It has been the home of Newcastle United's internal matches since 1880. 

Fans have dubbed the venue Heaven, and it has hosted concerts by Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Queen, Bob Dylan, and Brian Adams. The stadium, which can hold 52,354 people, has also hosted many rugby matches, as well as the Newcastle Falcons, the local team.

Bramall Lane (SHEFFIELD UNITED)

Bramall Lane, the world's oldest stadium, was built in 1855 to host Sheffield United matches. The building is a true blend of elegance and history, having undergone seven renovations over the years and serving as the home of two other teams: Sheffield Football Club (founded in 1857) and Sheffield Wednesday. It is located in South Yorkshire and has a seating capacity of 32,609.

St Mary's Stadium (SOUTHAMPTON)

It has hosted Southampton matches since 2001 when the Saints relocated from The Dell. It is the largest plant in South London, with a capacity of 32,505 people, and it is located in Hampshire. St Mary's Stadium was built at £ 32 million after the failure of a project involving a 25,000-seat stadium in Stoneham, which was later rejected by Southampton City Council.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (TOTTENHAM)

The new plant, which was only completed a year ago, was first proposed in 2008 by the Populous studio and was built in the areas adjacent to the now-demolished White Hart Lane. The construction began in 2016, but due to design issues and issues with the electricity grid connection, the stadium was only completed in the spring of 2019. 

The first Premier League match in the new stadium took place on April 3 of that year, with the hosts Tottenham Hotspur defeating Crystal Palace 2-0. The maximum seating capacity of this impressive new stadium is 62,303.

The Hawthorns (WEST BROMWICH ALBION)

The plant got its name from the hawthorns, or English Hawthorns, that grew wild in the West Midlands at the time. At 551 feet above sea level, it is also the English stadium with the highest altitude in the Premier League. 

Before settling in what was then known as Sandwell Park, the Baggies had played at five different venues before kicking off their new home in April 1900 with a 1-1 draw against Derby County. The stadium's total capacity is still 26,850 spectators.

London Stadium (WEST HAM UNITED)

After a few years of renovations and fine-tuning, it is the venue where West Ham plays their home games after the demolition of Upton Park. 

It was originally designed in 2008 to be the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012 Olympic Games, but after a few years of renovations and fine-tuning, it is the venue where West Ham plays their home games after the demolition of Upton Park. It costs 486 million pounds and can accommodate up to 60,000 people.

Molineux Stadium (WOLVERHAMPTON)

The Molineux Ground, which hosted the first matches in the history of the European Cup in the 1950s, has been the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers since 1889. The stadium also hosted England's national team matches and the 1972 UEFA Cup final. 

The stadium's name is derived from local merchant Benjamin Molineux, who purchased the land on which he built the Molineux House in 1744; the stadium would be built 145 years later at the same location. The structure now seats 32,050 people after several renovations and a failed demolition due to financial problems at the club.
