It’s nearly time for the champions to start their away days this season, however which of the Premier League grounds are the perfect – and worst – to go to as a travelling fan?
Liverpool’s away help is among the many greatest within the nation, however some journeys are immediately extra interesting than others when the fixture checklist drops in the summertime.
Factoring in environment, infrastructure, the encircling areas – in addition to the intangibles – right here’s our information to the perfect top-flight days out within the nation for 2025/26!
19. West Ham – London Stadium
From a soccer supporting perspective, it’s onerous to not have sympathy for West Ham followers given what was misplaced in 2016.
The Irons suffered a well-recognized modern-day destiny in dropping buying and selling an iconic house for a soulless bowl, and whereas the 2012 Olympic venue appears to be like spectacular on the surface, there merely isn’t such a factor as a very good view from the away finish.
Location definitely isn’t a redeeming characteristic, both. You’ll have to make use of the capital’s tube system if you happen to’ve any intention of sampling first rate meals or drink earlier than the sport.
18. Burnley – Turf Moor
The Clarets could have been unfairly hampered by my reminiscence of torrential rain strolling to and from the prepare station upon my final go to.
It definitely doesn’t ooze glamour and the outdated amenities don’t yield appeal in the identical method that others do. Turf Moor may be radio DJ Jordan North’s “completely satisfied place,” but it surely’s not mine.
17. Wolves – Molineux
Nonetheless caught within the twentieth century, providing no away-friendly watering holes, and an away finish stretched down the lengthy aspect stifling many makes an attempt to garner an environment.
One of many shorter Premier League journeys you may make as a Liverpool fan, however you might be by no means made to really feel significantly welcome.
16. Bournemouth – Vitality Stadium
Far too small to be a fit-for-purpose Twenty first-century Premier League venue, and the away finish isn’t located behind the purpose. It was at all times going to be an uphill battle from there.
Narrowly escapes relegation resulting from its proximity to a seashore.
15. Brentford – Gtech Group Stadium
There may be a lot to admire about Brentford in 2025, however the minuscule allocation and treacherous journey concerned knocks the Gtech down the checklist sadly.
5 ticket checks to get into the away finish additionally feels a tad extreme.
14. Man Metropolis – Etihad Stadium
Man Metropolis definitely haven’t suffered to West Ham’s extent for pinching a stadium initially designed for athletics.
That mentioned, the dominance of Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering aspect patently owes way more to the expertise on the pitch than its new wave of supporters within the stands.
13. Man United – Outdated Trafford
In case you win it’s the perfect, if you happen to lose it’s the worst, so it made sense for Outdated Trafford to fall someplace within the center.
One of many few remaining locations the place intimidation nonetheless transmits, and the extra natural nature of the frostiness means Man United nudge their metropolis rivals down a spot.
The stadium completed increased than the workforce managed final season, anyway!
12. Newcastle – St. James’ Park
Just like the soccer workforce, a visit to Tyneside can be pushing onerous for a high 4 spot had been it not for his or her insistence in placing visiting supporters nearly on the moon – the higher tier of the Leazes Stand.
The stadium sits on the coronary heart of one of many nation’s most vibrant cities and if you happen to survive the climb up the steps, you’ll get simply nearly as good a view of that as you’ll of the pitch.
Latest years have been form to us there, thoughts. Divock Origi and Darwin Nunez have each famously despatched us house from the North East with a spring in our step.
11. Chelsea – Stamford Bridge
Regardless of my disdain for Chelsea, I’ve a little bit of a mushy spot for Stamford Bridge and I can’t fairly pinpoint why.
Naturally, it isn’t the friendliest journey you may make as a Liverpool supporter, however the stadium itself does possess palpable character, and the historic rivalry tied up within the fixture means a win right here carries extra weight than most.
10. Everton – Goodison Park
Given we’re but to pay the brand new house of our neighbours a go to, it feels applicable to present one closing nod to the Outdated Girl.
It was the centre of Everton’s universe for 133 years and, for higher or worse, was as a lot of a logo of all the things the membership represents to the bitter finish (pun meant) as anything.
The brand new place appears to be like spectacular on the face of it, however whether or not they’ll be capable to replicate the ‘Goodison issue’ that has plagued us in current Merseyside derbies stays to be seen.
It appears to be like like they’ll have good acoustics for the boos, no less than.
9. Nottingham Forest – The Metropolis Floor
Youthful Liverpool followers can be forgiven for underestimating the longstanding rivalry with Nottingham Forest, however the house supporters on the Metropolis Floor will shortly remind you.
They aren’t essentially the most nice bunch – definitely the place we’re involved – however it’s a venue which oozes historical past and the place the group can shortly get on high of the motion.
8. Sunderland – Stadium Of Mild
In February, the Reds will make their first journey to Sunderland in nearly 9 years, and will probably be lengthy overdue.
Regardless of spending nearly a decade within the wilderness, the Mackems boast the ninth-biggest membership stadium in England and it stays some of the visually interesting walks as much as a floor you might be more likely to discover anyplace.
7. Leeds– Elland Street
Together with the environment, a part of Elland Street’s enchantment is how little it has modified in current instances compared with a few of its Premier League counterparts.
Every go to looks like an event and the situation lends itself to a pleasing day trip with loads to do, with out having to traipse too far throughout the nation.
6. Arsenal – The Emirates
In case you get likelihood to go to both of North London’s giants, you might be in for a deal with, however the Gunners have been marginally pipped by their fiercest rivals on this event.
Nonetheless, The Emirates is a sight to behold on matchday and the current title race tussles have given this fixture a recent edge.
5. Crystal Palace – Selhurst Park
Presumably the perfect, most constant environment you possibly can expertise within the modern-day high flight, with a refreshing give attention to supporting their very own workforce relatively than petty digs at our expense.
The letterbox view supplies shades of the previous Anfield Street Finish, however does be sure that the travelling Kop sounds nearly as good because it does anyplace.
Not significantly easy to get to geographically, however an amazing day trip nonetheless.
4. Tottenham – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
A uncommon occasion of a contemporary stadium getting nearly all the things proper, constructed in fact across the foundations of the previous White Hart Lane to retain a standard twist.
It’s undeniably some of the spectacular constructions in world soccer and the house followers do sound nice once they get going, not that they’ve had a lot to shout about in recent times.
3. Aston Villa – Villa Park
That Villa Park has landed itself a podium end regardless of splitting the away part throughout two tiers speaks volumes about the remainder of the expertise.
A correct old-fashioned floor in the absolute best sense, gettable in below two and a half hours from Anfield with a very good run.
2. Brighton – Amex Stadium
It may be fairly the slog to get to, however Brighton is comfortably some of the picturesque components of the nation and that may generally assist to offset adversarial scorelines.
Making refreshments out there on the concourse after the ultimate whistle is a simple win that not many golf equipment take up, too.
The space concerned and sightseeing on provide means making a weekend of it’s a no-brainer. Simply don’t put us on Monday evening once more, Premier League!
1. Fulham – Craven Cottage
I mentioned what I mentioned.
Fulham’s impartial part stays an uncommon quirk, but it surely typically turns into an extension of the away finish and makes tickets barely extra accessible than they in any other case can be.
Craven Cottage is unmistakable, steeped in historical past and the bars alongside the River Thames are properly price a go to you probably have sufficient time earlier than or after the sport.
