What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Manchester City better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 13 scored from 8.9 xG, 5 conceded from 5.6 xGA over 5 matches.

Expected goals measure the quality of chances created and faced, so a persistent gap between goals and xG marks finishing runs or goalkeeping variance rather than underlying strength. Coverage is stated because partial samples must never masquerade as a full season.
