The new £1bn Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is impressive, but where does it rank in comparison to the other Premier League grounds?

English football is blessed with some of the best stadiums in the world, filled with history and iconic moments.

It's not just the design of a stadium that counts - the support and atmosphere is also a key factor.

Premier League supporters will travel week in, week out to watch their team play, whether that is at Old Trafford or Vitality Stadium.

But where do the current Premier League stadiums rank? Find out below...

20. Crystal Palace

Selhurst Park can create an electric atmosphere when Crystal Palace are on song, but the ground is in desperate need of an improvement to the facilities.

For some away fans, there is a pole in-between themselves and the action, so even watching the action unfold can be tricky. The stadium is in need of refurbishing.

19. Burnley

Turf Moor is an old-fashioned ground, but an electric atmosphere is rare.

Often a vast viewing of empty seats, there is no intimidation factor and is somewhat becoming outdated as a ground.

There is no special element to the ground which entices you in. Many stadiums are better in the Premier League and would be more suited to a Championship club.

18. AFC Bournemouth

The Vitality Stadium has the smallest capacity in the Premier League at just 11,329. A trip down to the south-coast for away fans can be an enjoyable day out, but as a stadium, it does not impress.

Another example of a ground that needs improving and increasing capacity could help.

17. Watford

Vicarage Road has endured recent renovations but still struggles to impress spectators.

The Graham Taylor stand has a massive flaw where the first few rows cannot be used, as they divert into the ground and you are too low down for the action.

This leaves many empty seats and dissolves any potential atmosphere that could be created from that stand.

16. Southampton

There is nothing unique about St Mary's Stadium. Has the potential, but lack of attendance brings the rating down.

They need to find a way to fill the stands. It is good for away fans, packed out behind the goal, but the home support lets it down.

The design is generic and does not capture the ordinary spectator if they don't have an attachment to the club.

15. Brighton & Hove Albion

It is a unique design with the arch of the Amex Stadium. The modern facilities are impressive and is a very aesthetically pleasing ground.

However, the lack of atmosphere again brings this stadium ranking down. It has potential but needs improvements to generate atmosphere.

14. West Ham United

London Stadium is often mocked for not being a "football" stadium, but fans still manage to create an atmosphere - more often than not.

People often criticise the design for away fans with a large gap between upper and lower tiers.

If West Ham's owners purchased the stadium, they could potentially make adjustments to change it into more of a "football" stadium.

Not close to the best, but not the worst.

13. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Molineux Stadium is a great example of an old-fashioned ground. The stands are close to the pitch, it's intimidating to visit as an away fan, and overall, it is a good stadium.

However, away fans are packed on the lower tier, making it very difficult to connect and generate an away atmosphere. Moving the positioning of the away fans would significantly improve the ranking for this stadium.

12. Everton

Goodison Park is filled with emotion, sentimental value and history. It has been an excellent stadium over the years, but it is in desperate need of refurbishment.

Everton should keep in touch with the old, iconic look, but improve the facilities generally and renovate the stands to gain a higher ranking.

11. Norwich City

Carrow Road. A 27,00-seater with excellent traditions and values.

A great trip for the traveling fans, but the use of clappers to generate an atmosphere somewhat tarnishes the reputation. The stands are tight to the pitch and old-fashioned, and overall it is a good stadium.

10. Leicester City

King Power Stadium immediately became iconic when the Foxes won the Premier League. The atmosphere associated with that season will always be remembered.

A fairy-tale season in a great stadium and the sentimental value will always remain. A solid stadium.

9. Sheffield United

Bramall Lane is a special ground where the fans continuously support the players and generate an atmosphere.

33,000 people pack out the ground every home game, which adds to the quality. Some renovations are required, but overall, a very good stadium.

8. Manchester City

A magnificent complex and design makes the Etihad Stadium a great one.

Coupled with the recent financial success, this modern, state-of-the-art stadium has given the club the platform to progress and compete.

The atmosphere is sometimes questionable, but their success and European nights make up for it.

7. Arsenal

Emirates Stadium is one of the best in terms of facilities and infrastructure, no doubt about it.

However, even when packed with 60,000 people, there is a distinct lack of atmosphere that brings this stadium down in comparison to others.

If they could find a way to improve the atmosphere, this would be a fantastic stadium.

6. Chelsea

Stamford Bridge is an old-school, tightly-packed stadium, which is rare in modern football.

Although it is in need of an upgrade and refurbishment, the atmosphere is often very good and has been a fortress over the years. Once it develops and expands, it will no doubt improve in the rankings.

5. Aston Villa

Villa Park has been around since 1897. An iconic stadium filled with history and reflects the club extremely well.

A passionate set of fans and the Holte End stand is electric on the best days. With the return to Premier League football, this will be up there with the best stadiums in the league.

4. Manchester United

Old Trafford is the largest stadium in the Premier League. With the potential of 76,000 spectators, it is undisputed for the wonderful facilities it provides, packaged with the design of the stadium.

The history Old Trafford holds automatically places this ground highly, but the struggles of recent years are rubbing off the magic touch - ever so slightly.

3. Tottenham Hotspur

One of the world's most expensive stadiums, but a breathtaking design.

The atmosphere so far has been outstanding, and if they can create history at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, it will go down as one of the best stadiums of all time.

2. Liverpool

Home to one of the world's most iconic stadiums, packed with European history and magical nights.

Anfield is an incredible stadium, and the Reds have made it a fortress of recent years. The Kop end is unique and adds to the atmosphere. It is a special, special stadium.

 

1. Newcastle United

General view inside St James' Park - home of Newcastle United

St James' Park tops the rankings. The stadium overlooks Tyneside and majestically lights up the Newcastle area.

The Toon Army, on their day, are no match when it comes to creating an electric, intimidating, hostile atmosphere. In the successful days for the club, this stadium was no match for any side.

If they can find a way to compete at the top, it would allow the beauty of this stadium to blossom once again.
