After Huddersfield and Newcastle finally claimed their first victories of the season this weekend there is now just one side in Europe's top five leagues that has yet to claim three points: Chievo Verona of Serie A.

Chievo currently prop up the Serie A table having failed to win in their 11 league games to date and to make matters worse their points tally is negative due to having been docked three points for false accounting in September.

Just two draws for the campaign so far means that 'I Mussi Volanti' currently have -1 point and have the division's worst attack (eight goals scored) and most porous defence (28 goals conceded).

The false accounting charge also saw them slapped with a $200,000 fine and their president banned for three months as the club borders on crisis.

Perhaps their best performance of the season came on the opening day, as runaway leaders Juventus edged to a 3-2 victory on the way to their best-ever start to a Serie A campaign.

Relegation looks to be an inevitability for Chievo, who sit seven points behind fellow strugglers Empoli and Frosinone.
