No home game first leaves just 19 possibilities.
Of those, playing a big side is unlikely, excluding another 5-6 possibilities. On the balance of probability, playing sides we've played/gone to first in recent years is unlikely too, leaving just 10 opponents to face first. The derby has never been first either. So what is left?
West Ham, Newcastle, Swansea, Palace, the promoted sides and not much else. We've never gone to West Ham first. We last played them first in 2001.
Personally I would rather be home last than home first, given the choice, as a home game last can be a major advantage if a result is needed.
