Tottenham Hotspur are losing more than £165,000 in revenue per home game - the highest in the Premier League - because of unsold match tickets, research has found.
A study examining average attendances this season shows that Tottenham have 5,000 more empty seats than any other top-flight club.
Chelsea are also losing substantial income. According to the research, they are averaging around 3,000 empty seats, which adds up to just under £155,000 per game at Stamford Bridge.
An average of 8,284 empty seats per matchday are costing Spurs - struggling to deliver under manager Antonio Conte - approximately £165,680 per home game. This is according to research from bookmaker OLBG.com, which makes its calculations based on the cheapest available ticket.
Southampton and Burnley were the third and fourth-placed clubs for unsold ticket revenue. Champions Manchester City were fifth.
The failure to sell out is in part a result of a reluctance by some to attend games during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Leicester City have lost the least revenue, with very few unsold seats in the Premier League - the Foxes leaving just 251 free on a typical matchday.
The King Power Stadium has a capacity of 32,312, which is far from being the smallest in the division. This means that Leicester lose out on £6,526 when playing at home.

Spurs will even loose very badly if Mr levy failed to do any business in this transfer market. Bring in new players Mr levy if you want conte to remain in spurs.
