Isn’t it fantastic seeing fans back inside stadiums once again?
It was so sad seeing Premier League matches played behind closed doors with nothing but the sound of player voices echoing around the pitch.
This season is different, though.
Atmospheres have been better than ever as supporters are loving being able to cheer on their favourite team in person.
Understandably, some fans have been reluctant to return to stadiums just yet.
However, rarely can you spot an empty seat during a Premier League match.
Quiz: Can you name the English club that plays in this stadium?

So, Leicester’s King Power Stadium has been the fullest so far this season with an average attendance of 99.3 per cent.
Despite their respectively disappointing starts to the season - which has led to the sackings of their managers - Norwich and Aston Villa come next. Fair play to their supporters!
Some big clubs come next with Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United making up the top eight.
Brighton and Leeds make up the top 10.
Interestingly, Manchester City’s Etihad is actually 13th on the list. That means seven more stadiums deserve the ‘Emptyhad’ tag more than they do - most notably Tottenham who sit in 16th position with an average capacity of just 93.3 per cent. That is likely to rise under Antonio Conte.
Sitting bottom - and by quite some distance - is Burnley’s, Turf Moor. They have an average capacity of just 85.3 per cent - almost 5 per cent less than their nearest stadium - Selhurst Park.
