The league champions appeared first in the Match of the Day running order 14 times.
That’s followed by Manchester City with 10, Leicester City with seven, and then West Ham and Brighton with six each.
Brighton had the worst record when it comes to being shown last.
The Seagulls were last in the running order 11 times, with Norwich being shown in that slot 10 times, Watford eight and Crystal Palace seven.
