New research of property prices around premiership stadiums finds Chelsea top of the league but actual champions Man City in the relegation zone.

Property website Zoopla's research found that the average property price around Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium is £1,467,803, whilst homes surrounding Man City's Etihad ground average at £98,088.

London clubs fill the top four spots. Fulham are the league runners-up, followed by Arsenal and QPR.

Everton sit at the bottom of the league, with the average house value around the Goodison stadium standing at £66,137.

QPR have shown the biggest growth in form - prices have risen by 5.84% over the last 12 months around their Loftus Road ground. However, Wigan have shown the greatest decline in form, with prices toppling by 8.74%.

Nigel Lewis of Zoopla, said: “Millionaire footballers may live in some of the country’s most exclusive areas, but average property values around the stadiums in which they make their living are in stark contrast to WAG hotspots like Oxshott, Cobham and Alderly Edge.

"For fans of Manchester City, knowing that local property values are lower than the majority of their Premier League counterparts may be somewhat disheartening but diehard fans of Fulham and Arsenal might well be willing to trade a few pounds off their property values in exchange for some silverware in their club’s trophy cabinet.”
