Despite Albion’s defeat to already-relegated Sheffield United on Saturday they have broken yet another record this season.

The Seagulls have picked up their best points return on the road since they were promoted to the Premier League.

Their draw against Chelsea was their 20th point they have picked up on their travels this season, which is their best return since the 2016/17 season when they promoted to the top-flight as they picked up 39 points.

When you break down those 20 points, they have had five wins, five draws and seven defeats, with trips to Wolves and Arsenal still to come.

Two of those wins have seen them end their long waits for victories at both Villa Park and Anfield.

That is one point better that last season where they picked up 19 points from their 19 away matches, winning four, drawing seven and losing eight.

In 2018/19, Chris Hughton’s last season in charge they picked up 13 points on the road, winning three, drawing four and losing 12.

In their first season in the Premier League, they only managed 11 points on their travels, winning two, drawing five and losing 12.

From their point returns away from home in the Prem, Albion have improved year on year, but the most dramatic change came when Potter replaced Hughton.

The Seagulls picked up six points more (19) away from home than they did in Hughton last season in charge (13).

They could also break their record for the most away points in the top flight if they pick up two more points.

As in 1981/82 season Albion picked up 21 points in their 21 games in the First Division.

The Seagulls are back in action on Saturday as they host Leeds at the Amex (3pm), who have been breaking their own record in the Prem this season.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side are now undefeated in six Premier League games for the first time since 2002.

That run has also included draws against ‘big six’ sides Chelsea and Liverpool and a win against Manchester City at the Etihad.

But Bielsa praised his side for their performances in their last three games.

He said: “The group of players have been solid.

“Throughout this time they have made errors and have learned how to correct them.

“And in the same way, they have learned to avoid errors that are avoidable.

“I have the feeling that there has been a growth in the maturity in the experience to manage these games.”
