The Premier League xG table for 2025/26 tracks expected goals data for all 20 teams. This includes xG (expected goals), xGA (expected goals against), xPTS (expected points), npxG (non-penalty xG), xGoT (expected goals on target), and the goals vs xG overperformance metric.
Who has the best attack?
Chelsea top the xG charts with 62.81 expected goals from 32 games (1.96/90). With 53 goals scored, they are underperforming by 9.8.
Who has the best defence?
Arsenal have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 28.26 expected goals (0.88/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 24.
Biggest overperformer
Manchester City are the biggest overperformers in Premier League, scoring 63 goals from an xG of just 58.57 — a difference of +4.4. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.
Biggest underperformer
Crystal Palace are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 35 from an xG of 49.01 (diff: -14). Regression towards their xG would suggest improvement is likely.
Understanding the xG metrics
xG (Expected Goals): The total expected goals a team should have scored based on the quality of their chances.
xGA (Expected Goals Against): How many goals a team should have conceded — lower is better.
xPTS (Expected Points): How many league points a team deserves based on xG performance.
npxG (Non-Penalty xG): xG excluding penalties, giving a truer picture of open-play chance creation.
xGoT (xG on Target): Expected goals from shots that were on target only.
+/- (Overperformance): The difference between actual goals and xG. Positive = overperforming, negative = underperforming.

xG (Expected Goals) measures the quality of chances created. Each shot is assigned a probability of being scored based on factors like distance, angle, body part, and assist type. A team's total xG reflects how many goals they should have scored based on their chances. Read more about xG.
