In the 1902-03 season, Everton played 7 consecutive matches at home - 5 in the League and 2 in the FA Cup.

 

They won 6 and lost 1 in this run.

 

3 Jan - Middlesbrough - 3:0

17 Jan - Wolves - 2:1

31 Jan - Sheffield United - 1:0

7 Feb - Portsmouth (FAC 1) - 5:0

14 Feb - Aston Villa - 0:1

21 Feb - Manchester United (FAC 2) - 3:1

28 Feb - Bury - 3:0

 

If you remove the FA Cup matches from this, then, in terms of League matches only, Everton played 6 consecutive home matches in the league, comprising of the 5 League matches above plus a 0:3 defeat against Sunderland on 14 March which followed a 0:1 defeat at Millwall in the FA Cup 3rd round the previous week.

Good evening to you all.

I noticed that this season Brighton played five home league matches in
succession. Unusual but I guess far from unique. Does anybody out
there know which league club has played the most successive home (or
away) matches in the league?
