The brutal reality is Newcastle United have been nothing short of abysmal away from homw this season. In a polar opposite situation from last year, the Magpies have, at times, looked like relegation fodder on the road.
Another Premier League defeat against Chelsea was Newcastle's ninth away loss of the campaign. Fragile at the back and toothless up front, Eddie Howe's side were put to the sword 3-2 by Mauricio Pochettino's men.
The light task of Manchester City awaits next, although that clash at the Etihad Stadium takes place in cup competition. A section of fans are already writing Newcastle off as they aim to end a 69-year wait without a domestic trophy. And who could blame them? One look at our table below is enough to dishearten any Newcastle fan confident of an FA Cup upset.
But how bad is it? NewcastleWorld has profiled the Premier League away table to assess how the Magpies stack up compared to their top-flight rivals. Trigger warning: it makes for grim viewing.
