Liverpool and Chelsea might be among of the biggest Premier League clubs but when it comes to pitch size, some minnows have the bragging rights.
The Premier League is widely regarded as the best league in the world due to its highly prestigious nature and the quality of players.
The league is usually contested by 20 clubs and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with seasons running from August to May, with each team playing 38 matches. Sometimes the crowd can play their part with some stadiums boasting a louder set of home fans than others.
The Premier League stadiums have also been a point of interest and their pitch sizes are mostly not talked about in the history of the English Premier League. According to the Football Association, the Premier League clubs must abide by some rules when it comes to the dimensions of the stadium including 90m-120m in length and 45m-90m in width.
