The promised land of the Premier League has turned into a nightmare for new boys Sheffield United, Luton and Burnley.
Between them they have a collective two wins out of a combined 24 matches and a total of nine points, making them the worst set of promoted sides in Premier League history at this stage of the season.
Talk of relegation for the promoted trio is everywhere, despite winless Bournemouth providing them company at the bottom of the table
Only three promoted sides in Premier League history have taken four points or fewer from their opening eight matches and survived relegation: Crystal Palace in 2013-14 (three points in eight games) and Southampton (2012-13) and Nottingham Forest last season, who both survived after taking just four points.
Here, Mail Sport takes a look at what each of the promoted sides need to do to turn things around and survive the drop.
Out of all the sides to be promoted, Luton were given the smallest chance of surviving the drop, but they currently sit outside of the relegation zone.
