Everton, Goodison Park, 112 x 78 yards, 8736 5. Aston Villa, Villa Park, 114 x 75 yards, 8550 6. Middlesbrough, Riverside, 114 x 75 yards, 8550 7. Arsenal, Emirates Stadium, 114 x 74 yards, 8436 8. Derby County, Pride Park, 114 x 74 yards, 8436 9. Reading, Madjeski Stadium, 111 x 76 yards, 8436 10. Sunderland, Stadium of Light, 114 x 74 yards, 8436 11. Wigan Athletic, JJB Stadium, 114 x 74 yards, 8436 12. Portsmouth, Fratton Park, 115 x 73 yards, 8395 13. Chelsea, Stamford Bridge, 110 x 75 yards, 8250 14.

Newcastle United, St. James’s Park, 110 x 73 yards, 8030 18. Tottenham Hotspur, White Hart Lane, 110 x 73 yards, 8030 19. Bolton Wanderers, Reebok Stadium, 110 x 72 yards, 7920 20. West Ham United, Boleyn Ground, 110 x 70 yards, 7700 Are Rafa's tactics more complementary to a longer pitch? Stretching our pitch may make it easier for us to beat teams when they come to Anfield with 11 men in their own half for 90 minutes! Then again so could playing two strikers ;)
