Why Man United might be higher in Premier League table than they deserve: explained through stats

Man United are already five points away from the top four - and they are possibly overachieving.

At least, that's what the xG table by Experimental361 seems to suggest. They have compiled an alternative Premier League table based on the expected goals in every single game this season so far.

It turns out that Man United should've been earned two points less than they actually did.

According to those underlying numbers, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team would be 11th in the xG table.

Man United already have a hard time keeping up with the leaders in the actual table. They've lost four out of the last six Premier League games and are nine points down from the league leaders Chelsea.
