Home form may win leagues, but away form can certainly lose them - let's take a quick look at the three teams across 'The 92' who have yet to taste defeat on the road this season.
Let's get the obvious one out of the away first: Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp's men sit six points clear at the summit of the English top flight with eight wins and a draw this season.
Liverpool's perfect winning record may have ended at Old Trafford last weekend, but the Reds are a frightening proposition - domestically at least - on their travels. In fact, they have only lost once away from Anfield over the past two campaigns (including this one) - and that was their nip and tuck loss to Manchester City back in January.
The other Premier League team who have proved difficult guests this term are Sheffield United. Chris Wilder's men showed their mettle at home on Monday with a fabulous 1-0 win over Arsenal, but their three Premier League defeats this term (against Leicester, Southampton and Liverpool) have all come on their own turf. Away from Bramall Lane, the Blades have been rock solid: recording draws at Bournemouth, Chelsea and Watford and a win at Everton.
Outside the top flight, only one EFL team remain unconquered on their travels: Swansea City. Steve Cooper's Swans have been irresistible at home for much of 2019, but recent defeats to Forest, Stoke and Brentford have shorn the Liberty Stadium of its previous aura of invincibility. Away from South Wales, however, the Swans have been flying with a record of three wins and three draws in six Championship away games.
