West Ham United's London Stadium is the most full ground in the Premier League this evening according to a study, with Newcastle United's St James' Park right at the opposite end of the table.
TransferMarkt have collated all the important data, which shows that the London Stadium has a capacity percentage of 99.9% after totalling an average attendance of 59,916 this campaign.
Chelsea, Leicester and Arsenal are joint second on 99.3%, with Norwich in fifth spot after filling 99.2% of their stadium.
Manchester City are regularly ridiculed with the 'Emptihad' jokes from rival fans about their attendances but the numbers here tell a completely different story.
City are in eighth, ahead of 9th placed Liverpool and 12th placed Manchester United, having averaged 54,386 as a home crowd this term - giving them a capacity percentage of 98.9%.
At the very bottom of the pile is Newcastle but it's not so much of a surprise given the supporters' well-documented resentment towards owner Mike Ashley.
A number of boycotts has resulted in an average attendance of 47,166 - around 5,000 short of the full capacity.
Southampton and Burnley make up the bottom three as far as capacity percentages go, with both on 91.5% from their home games in 2019/120.
