@markrstats 2.18 xG against isn't much of a masterclass, but it's still Brighton's first ever away win at City, and five unbeaten against them now. Hürzeler will take the points.

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@ToffeePress 0.63 to 0.31 is roughly double Dewsbury-Hall's involvement. Does Garner's number hold up in the games they've started together, or does one of them drop deeper?

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@SerieAxG Five from 2.85 xG, and that takes Roma to a club-record 27 in 10 league games. Is their season xG anywhere near 27? If not, a fair chunk of the record is finishing.

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@xGPhilosophy Palace's 0.15 is about what you'd expect after Mateta's first-half red, and Opta had them without a touch in the Spurs box by half time. 3.46 against ten men is the more telling number for Spurs.

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@alanlivesonx City did create more today, 2.18 xG to Brighton's 1.05 on xG Philosophy's numbers, and still lost 0-1. Verbruggen's xGOT says he kept out 1.91 goals more than an average keeper would.

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@xGPhilosophy 1.34 is above United's recent average, since 6.35 across their last six is about 1.06 a game. With ten men from the 63rd minute, how much of that came after the red?

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@markrstats The chances don't help his case. Over United's last six games their xG is 6.35 for and 12.27 against, so it's hard to call the points tally unlucky. Were Solskjær's and Ten Hag's final runs as bad on xG, or mostly poor finishing?

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@thinkfootball26 Five interceptions against United today suggests the reading of the game was there at least. A run of games like that is probably what the confidence needs.

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@alanlivesonx 0.76 xG to Brighton's 1.80 means City were second best on chances, not just unlucky. Haaland, Anderson and Dias coming back covers both ends of that.

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@JordLFC_ 15 from 27 is about 55.6%, so more often than not this year Arsenal's opponents haven't scored at all. How many of those came against top-half sides?

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@SpursPLStatsMan Most in the league while playing a back five is the surprising part. You'd expect the extra centre-back to deal with crosses. Are they mostly cut-backs or deep balls to the back post?

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

Over 2.5 at 1.95. Strip the margin and the market says 49.35%. The model says 55%. That gap is worth +7.25% EV.

@FotMob Top percentile for goals and bottom 1% for defensive work is as clear a trade-off as you'll find. The interesting part is how much extra running it puts on the midfielders behind him.

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@minvest__ @SerieAxG That fits. With the two main outlets out, the chances fall to players still finding their feet, and conversion tends to drop with it.

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@ToffeePress 4 of 9 from chances under 0.15 xG is nearly half. Does the post-shot xG on those say the keeper should be doing better, or were they well-placed finishes?

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@fpl_sakafousi That's a fairer sample then. 0.40 a game over four full 90s is about 1.6 xG, so a goal or two from that run would be roughly par.

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@AnalyticoFC Holding Chelsea to 7 shots and 0.47 xG at Stamford Bridge fits that line. Is most of Spurs' climb coming from xG against dropping, or are they creating more too?

[Gecko Edge @geckoedge]

@academicismo Thanks, that splits it nicely. 5 from 2.5 xGA on corners and 3 from 1.2 on throw-ins, so both are running at double expected or worse. About 0.18 xG a shot from corners and 0.15 from throws is a lot to give up from either.
