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 1.25 points a game from 8 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.14. That is 0.9 points more than the football deserved, which our model calls fair. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1576, about the league average.

For context, the next club above them in the Premier League is Sunderland, rated 1589, and the next one below is Coventry City, rated 1493. The gap to the strongest side in the division, Arsenal, is 363 rating points.

Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very high quality of chances and very high touches in the opposition box.
