Man Utd Facing Relegation Battle
Manchester United are in a precarious position this season, with new statistics indicating that they should be battling relegation. The expected points table based on xG by data company Stats Perform places United in 15th, just above the relegation zone.
Pressure Mounts on Erik ten Hag
Manager Erik ten Hag is feeling the heat as United struggle on the field. Speculation about his future is rife, with Graham Potter being considered as a potential replacement. Player unrest is also evident, with Alejandro Garnacho publicly criticizing the manager on social media.
Chelsea Shine in Expected Points Table
On the other hand, Chelsea fans have reason to rejoice as the projected points table places them in the top four, ahead of Newcastle on goal difference. A recent 6-0 victory over Everton highlights their potential if they can convert chances consistently.
Arsenal Lead Title Race on Expected Points
Arsenal surprisingly lead the title race in the expected points table, with Manchester City close behind. The lack of a January striker signing may explain Arsenal's underperformance in the actual table.
Newcastle and Brentford Impress on Expected Points
Newcastle and Brentford show promise in the expected points table, with both teams outperforming their current standings. Newcastle's recent 4-0 win over Spurs has put them in contention for a Champions League spot, while Brentford's struggles are attributed to the absence of Ivan Toney.
It's important to note that the expected points table does not account for potential points deductions for Everton and Nottingham Forest, which could impact their league standings.
