Leeds United have performed to a high standard in recent months and have been finding the back of the net with regularity.
This has helped them pick up points more consistently than they were doing at the start of the season and free agent signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin has even reached 10 Premier League goals for the club.
When analysing through expected goals (xG), you can see how good the chances Leeds are creating really are in comparison to others. Some clubs have better finishers than other and this can lead to an overperformance of xG, which can lead to some bad spells of form if those players fall out of form. This is because they are not creating enough chances in general and are overly reliant on players who finish well to be consistent.
Daniel Farke’s side have scored 37 goals so far this season and are six points ahead of West Ham, who are in 18th. But does Leeds’ xG reflect their position in the table?
Have a look at the full Premier League table based on xG below and see how good each side’s attack really is.
