Albion search for their first away points in the Premier League against the top six at Spurs tomorrow night.

They are not alone in finding it tough against the big guns.

In fact, they have done better overall than any of the three teams below them.

The Argus can reveal the staggering statistics when the bottom four face the top six.

They have suffered 40 defeats out of 42 home and away this season, conceding an average of nearly three goals per game.

Albion alone are responsible for the four points gained, beating Manchester United and drawing with Arsenal at the Amex.

The Seagulls still have to play Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City, while Cardiff go to Manchester United on the final day.

The fight to avoid joining Fulham and Huddersfield in the Championship next season will almost certainly come down to Albion's home game against Newcastle on Saturday, Cardiff's visit to Fulham the same day and their subsequent home game against Crystal Palace.

Albion are currently three points better off than the Welshmen with a much better goal difference and the Spurs game in hand.
