These stats doesn't really say anything clearly! Nothing like defense is comparable to the worst... the below figure could be more useful..
xGoT and xG are useful stats to an extend(based on the quality of chance created and other factors like shot distance,etc)
Season highlights has been de gea saving our back and some clinical finishes that wasn't really 'expected'
Manutd still has the most CS/least goals conceded inspite of having faced most expected goals against them..best goalkeeper in the world thanks to fax machine
And these defensive stats could have been better with our best defender - Eric Bailly and without injuries to many of our defenders thru out the season , especially rojo!! With smalling these are pretty much expected!! Play any defender alongside smalling and he would struggle..jones alongside bailly was top class but with smalling even he looks off pace!!

Yes..we are close to arsenal from these 'expected' figures...do they have the worst gk...too much disrespectful to cech!! at end of day we have the best defensive record 'so far' in PL inspite of playing smalling at the heart of defense , without having our best defender for major part of season!!

Arsene Wenger says Manchester City success is based on silly spending and not clever Pep Guardiola
Arsenal boss does not believe Spanish boss has the managerial Midas touch - just the deepest pockets
ARSENE WENGER says Manchester City?s success is not about Pep Guardiola ? but how much he spends.
The Arsenal manager hit out ahead of their clash in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley tomorrow.
Wenger dismissed the notion Guardiola has taken football to new heights at mega-bucks City this season.
He said: ?No. Because look at Barcelona, they are still the best team in Europe.
"You have to accept that the modern game has changed, with the recruitment of the best players by a small number of clubs.
?As managers, maybe we can impart our philosophy on our teams. But this game now belongs to the players, their importance has become bigger than ever before.?
Wenger also claimed referee Craig Pawson must ignore Guardiola?s call for ?extra protection? from bad tackles.
SunSport revealed the nine fouls Guardiola and City believe should have been more severely punished this season ? and their request for a meeting with refs? chief Mike Riley.
Pressed on Guardiola?s demands, Wenger replied: ?Extra protection? I don?t know what that means.
?Protection, yes. But we just want the referees to protect the rule book.
?You want the refs to make the right decision, that is all.
?We know to beat them we will have to be at a different level ? and I don?t want to speculate on City weakness.
?They have so many top players you think you have to stop, it is better to focus on the team plan rather than on any individual.?
Sore arsene
