Percentiles from 0 to 100: 90 means better than 90% of clubs in the league, or in the world. Higher means more of that quality. The profile describes the club. It is not part of the score. Missing bars mean there is not enough data yet. How the profile works.

This season they are taking 1.38 points a game from 8 matches, while their performances have been worth 0.79. That is 4.6 points more than the football deserved, which our model calls lucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1587, a tougher schedule than the Premier League average.

For context, the next club above them in the Premier League is Brighton, rated 1751, and the next one below is Chelsea, rated 1736. The gap to the strongest side in the division, Arsenal, is 163 rating points.

Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very high squad age.

The Premier League itself is 1st in our world league ranking, where its average club is 0.62 goals per 90 better than the top-five average.

How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is high: the range of 6th to 24th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
