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 0.57 points a game from 7 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.54. That is 6.8 points fewer than the football deserved, which our model calls unlucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1560, an easier schedule than the Premier League average.
For context, the next club above them in the Premier League is Fulham, rated 1602, and the next one below is Ipswich Town, rated 1547. The gap to the strongest side in the division, Arsenal, is 321 rating points.
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 29th to 80th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
