All three promoted teams survived last season: Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest — but the top-flight newbies are struggling this term.
Sheffield United are propping up the table with just one point from 10 games, while Burnley and Luton are also languishing in the relegation zone.
Rob Edwards' men host Liverpool in front of the Sky cameras on Sunday afternoon with a chance to achieve a giant-killing and jump clear of the drop zone — but what do promoted sides typically need to secure survival?
Here, we run through the following factors to reveal what's required to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
Ipswichwere favourites for relegation at the start of the 2000/01 season after winning promotion via the play-offs, but finished in a remarkable fifth place, qualifying for the UEFA Cup and earning 66 points — merely one point shy of Liverpool's tally last season.
Derby Countyhold the unfortunate record of having the worst top-flight campaign since the current points system was introduced. The Rams collected just 11 points in 2007/08 after their promotion in 2007 and won only one game.
Since 1995/96, 36 of the 83 promoted teams have been relegated immediately — equating to a 57-per-cent survival rate.
