Numbers Game - There's no place like home

Football.co.uk's resident stats guru Imran Malek focuses on the awayday ups and downs of some the Premier League's finest.

This weekend it was up, up and away for West Brom, who baggie-d their first away win in 19 Premier League attempts at 'Fortress' Emirates.

Blackburn Rovers have a far stronger record. They've lost just one of their last seven away games under Sam Allardyce.

No wonder Steve Bruce was upset with a point an Anfield on Saturday - not to mention Dirk Kuyt's farcical opener. His Sunderland side have only won two of their last 32 Premier League away games

And it's been another September to forget for travelling Spurs fans, who haven't seen their team win away in the second month of the season since they beat Sunderland in 2001 - a run of 15 games

Meanwhile, Blackpool fans are putting the miles in. Ian Holloway's men Blackpool have only played two home games in six.

Everton's problem is locating the net away from home. The Toffees are without an away goal in four straight Premier League awaydays - dating back to April.
