Everton suffer shocking 400-mile curse that needs to end for club to stay up

Everton's dedicated travelling supporters have had far too little to cheer this season.

The collection of just six points from 16 away games - five of which came from the first four trips of the campaign - is a major factor underpinning the Blues' struggles. With Norwich, Southampton and Brighton among those on the calendar, as well as a host of London clubs, Everton have had to travel just over 400 miles for every point gained on the road.

The last away point came at Stamford Bridge, when Jarrad Branthwaite's goal helped what were then Rafa Benitez's Blues earn a draw on December 16. So not only has Frank Lampard not picked up a point away from Merseyside since taking over, the club is yet to pick up anything beyond Goodison Park in 2022.
