The Premier League's bottom three have failed to gain a single point in matches against the top six this season.
Cardiff City, Fulham and Huddersfield Town have played 31 matches against the 'big six' — Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester United — this season and lost every single one.
The Bluebirds' recent defeats to Man City and Chelsea added to the figures, though Neil Warnock's side would have taken points off the Blues if it wasn't for that well-documented refereeing controversy.
The goal difference in games between the current bottom three and the top six reads an eye-watering 91-17 in the 31 games.
Cardiff have lost heavily to Man City (5-0 at home), Manchester United (5-1 at home), Liverpool (4-1 away), Chelsea (4-1 away), Tottenham (3-0 at home) while pushing Arsenal close in both games as well as that recent controversial Chelsea defeat.
There have been 10 occasions this term when one of the current bottom three have been beaten by a single goal when facing a top-six outfit.
In 2018/19, clubs in the bottom three averaged 0.6 points per game against the top six, while that figure was as high as 0.7 in 2010/11.
It appears the gulf is wider than ever, though Cardiff will hope to change that stat in remaining games against Liverpool in the Welsh capital and against United at Old Trafford on the season's final day.
