Surprise team of the season, Ipswich, came the closest this year with their single failure to trouble the scorers coming, shockingly, against Derby County - in 19th place at the time
The 1995/6 squad were by far the most successful Premiership team Everton have produced when their sole home noscore was in the first game of the season.
Newcastle were dominant at home for three seasons and in 1995/6 came closest to becoming the first team to achieve the feat. Predictably enough, Manchester United proved their undoing in a game which did much to ensure that the championship ended up at Old Trafford again
As can be seen, in 1995/6 there were several strong home teams, and indeed 49% of all home games were won by the home team - a figure marginally exceeded in 1999/2000

Coventry City 0–0 Bradford City Bradford finish the campaign with a mere ten goals on their travels.

Leeds United 3–1 Leicester City The absence of Leeds from the Champion's league
