Alternative Premier League table after 13 matches, based on expected goals
Manchester United could only manage a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday, leaving Jose Mourinho’s dream of being in the top four by December in tatters.The Red Devils boss had clearly been banking on Tottenham losing to Chelsea and his own men doing the business against the Eagles.9

Manchester United stars Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, and Marouane Fellaini look dejected.

Instead, they now sit seventh in the Premier League table, seven points behind the Blues who were leapfrogged by Spurs after losing their London derby 3-1.And It doesn’t look good when you take their expected goals figures into consideration either, which suggests they’re actually over-performing right now.9
