Conversely, Everton’s attack generates a modest 20.13 Expected Goals (xG) , while their defense has an xGA of 22.90 . Arsenal’s superior defensive solidity and attacking output, generating 27.81 xG , will overwhelm Everton’s mid-table metrics.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

(26.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBukayo Saka is statistically the Premier League’s most creative threat. He ranks second in the league with 3.65 Expected Assists (xA) and creates a league-leading 0.52 big chances per 90 minutes .
