With over half of the 2023/24 Premier League matches completed, we take a look at the key statistics so far, discovering the top 10 and who is the leading player for that measurement at each club.
Biggest overperformers for xG
Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min has been back to his best this season, with the statistics showing how he is outperforming his Expected Goals (xG) data. The South Korean has scored 12 times in the Premier League this season despite accumulating an xG of only 7.12.
Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Hwang Hee-chan also makes the list and is one of only three players, along with West Ham United's summer signing Mohammed Kudus, to have outperformed their xG by more than four.

On the flipside, some players should have scored more when comparing their xG to their actual tally.
Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the worst offender in this department, having underperformed his xG by 3.92, while Liverpool's Darwin Nunez is just behind him with -3.66.
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is a third player to have scored at least three fewer goals than they should have, with his xG standing at -3.59.
