Premier League teams’ early-season performances are being assessed against their expected goals, or xG, figures in an analysis of how clubs have started the campaign.
The assessment focuses on the difference between the goals teams have scored and the number their xG totals indicate they might have been expected to score. It considers which sides have exceeded their xG and which have fallen below it.
The supplied material does not provide the names of the teams involved, their results, the relevant figures or the number of matches included in the comparison. It therefore does not establish which clubs have overperformed or underperformed, or explain whether those differences have affected the Premier League table.
No further findings, team statements or conclusions are included in the available material.
