Manchester United legend Patrice Evra is leading the list of Premier League footballers who have the best home records after over 100 home appearances for one club.
In an era of sweeping changes in world football, characterized by a high level of mobility among footballers, only a few footballers can nail down a centurion of appearances for their respective Premier League clubs. Hence, it is news when a footballer plays one hundred Premier League home games.
Factors such as financial expediency, player management issues, frequent change of head coaches and management, have had a huge bearing on the duration of footballers’ spell with Football Clubs.
Here, we will take a look at five Premier League footballers with the best home records after over a hundred appearances for one club. Note that these statistics are sourced from the Premier League’s official archives.
Patrice Evra
Manchester United legend Patrice Evra, who played as a left-back for the Old Trafford club from 2006 to 2014 made a total of 276 Premier League appearances for Manchester United. 140 of the appearances were at Old Trafford alone.
Based on Premier League archives, the French former Premier League footballer is standing tall not only for the highest home appearance for one football club but for a sensational run of wins.
Out of his 140 appearances, Evra won 112, drew 12, and lost 16. His win percentage at Old Trafford stands at 80%. He has the highest number of home wins than any other Premier League footballer in history.
Ederson
Next on the list is current Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson. The goalkeeper has totalled 252 Premier League appearances for Manchester City since joining from Benfica in 2017. 124 of those appearances have been at the Etihad. He has won 100 of those games, drew 13, and lost 9. Despite having less number of home wins compared to Evra, Ederson boasts a relatively higher win rate of 80.6%.
After confirming his decision to stay at the club following Saudi links, the Brazilian goalkeeper is expected to ramp up the tally as he continues with City.
Bernardo Silva
Another Manchester City star, Bernardo Silva, is on the list. Silva joined Manchester City the same year as Ederson but has played fewer games than the Brazilian shotstopper. The Portuguese has made 235 Premier League appearances for Manchester City.
