In a spot of bother...

Across the top four tiers of English football, there are still NINE clubs who are yet to convert a penalty-kick during league action this season. 

While the likes of Leicester City (10 awarded, eight scored) are having a field day (well, season) in the box in 2020/21, a smattering of teams across 'The 92' are getting royally blanked by officials when it comes to penalty appeals. 

To be fair, three teams who are yet to convert from 12 yards during the current campaign have only themselves to blame. Championship sides Huddersfield and Stoke (a penalty apiece), along with League Two Orient (two pens) have all been awarded penalties this season, but have fluffed their lines from the spot. 

However, half a dozen teams across the Premier League and the EFL are yet to win a penalty this season: Burnley, West Brom and West Ham in the top flight, League One duo Hull City and Ipswich Town, and Harrogate Town in the fourth tier.

Whether they're in refs' black books, plain unlucky or just not very good at drawing fouls in the box is up for discussion...leave us a comment below if you've strong feelings on the matter!
