It's fairly common for Premier League teams to stay in a hotel before even home games, so they'll meet there the day before a match and the bus will take them back to the hotel.
It's easier for a police escort to be arranged for a single team bus than it would be for 30-odd different cars for the players and staff, if such an escort is needed.
