How Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham’s intriguing away trip struggles compare to PL rivals

Every club in the Premier League aims to make their home ground a fortress.

Logic dictates that if a team can make themselves difficult to beat on their own patch, they’re already halfway to being successful.

But just as important as solid home form is the ability to pick up points on the road.

Traditionally speaking, away trips are regarded as the more challenging of the two propositions, and the recent data serves to back up that point.

Over the course of the past decade, all 20 of the Premier League’s current participants have taken fewer points on their travels than they have in their own stadiums.

But who are the worst offenders in the top flight, and how do Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham measure up?
