EPL expected goals table: Man City rank No.1, Man Utd surpass Liverpool

These alternative league tables are calculated using expected goals. There’s a full explanation in the first post here. Man City, Man Utd & Liverpool are the top 3.

It looks like Man Utd could easily be vying at the summit with City if they’d fared better in the three games in which they out-created their opponents.

Wolves’ position in the actual league table could well be misleading given that one of their draws could easily have been a win, while Crystal Palace’s win over Man Utd (one of the three in which United created the better chances) has left them higher in the table than perhaps they should be.
