The Yorkshire outfit have been beaten 4-1 at Selhurst Park, 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, 3-0 at Spurs and 4-2 at Arsenal this season.

It’s a terrible record for a team sitting in 11th place during their first season back ay the top level and they have also, of course been beaten 2-1 by the Hammers at Elland Road.
