Alternative Premier League table after 37 games, based on expected goals
A relentless Premier League season will com to an end next Sunday – not that we want it to.Sadly, the current campaign is only 38 games long because we’d love to see a few more matches of Liverpool and Manchester City slugging it out for title glory.6Even the top four race has got some legs left, despite Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United all flopping in recent matches.The Blues have got it sewn up and know they will play in the Champions League next season, while Spurs will join them barring a defeat to Everton resulting in an eight-goal swing and an emphatic win for Unai Emery’s Gunners against Burnley.The final relegation spot was decided on Saturday when Cardiff City lost to Crystal Palace but everyone can appreciate their valiant efforts and to remain in with a chance of staying up for so long is credit to the players and their manager Neil Warnock. But how would the Premier League table look if it was based on results calculated by ‘Expected Goals’?Here at talkSPORT.com were always keeping an eye onUnderstat.com to see how clubs are performing based on their xG stats.Find out how the stats believe the Premier League SHOULD be shaping up below

What is expected goals?

• Expected goals (xG) is a statistic used to work out how many goals should be scored in a match.
• Every single shot is awarded an xG value based on the difficulty of the attempt, with factors including distance from goal, type of shot and number of defenders present affecting the value.
• The higher the xG of a particular shot, the more likely a goal should be scored from that shot.
• The xG value of every shot in a game is then used to calculate the expected goals in a particular match.

Manchester United team news: Paul Pogba is a doubt for derby clash with Man City due to ‘little injury’
Manchester United have doubts over the fitness of Paul Pogba ahead of their derby match with Man City on Sunday.According to reports, the France ace missed training on Friday and was instead doing ‘indoor work’.2The 25-year-old played the full 90 minutes against former club Juventus on Wednesday as Jose Mourinho’s men came back to secure a stunning 2-1 win in the Champions League.However, Pogba was conspicuous by his absence from United’s training session on Friday – an unneeded injury scare ahead of Sunday’s derby at the Etihad Stadium, where he netted a brace in April’s 3-2 victory.The Red Devils will be hoping that what is being described as a “little injury” will not keep the World Cup winner out against City.2Press Association Sport report Pogba was at the Aon Training Complex on Friday but instead did indoor work rather than taking to the training pitch as a result of the issue.Romelu Lukaku is already a doubt for the derby, having missed the trips to Bournemouth and Juventus with a hamstring injury sustained last Friday. The striker trained with the group this Friday, as did Alexis Sanchez, who took a blow in Turin.Mourinho said ahead of the session: “Lukaku is training with the team this morning.“We have of course one more session tomorrow, but if the answer is positive, he’s ready.“But in this moment, I can only say he trains with the team. I don’t know his answer.”

I cried when I was sacked as Manchester United manager, David Moyes tells talkSPORT
David Moyes has revealed to talkSPORT he was reduced to tears when he lost his job as Manchester United manager.Its crazy to think there are still two months remaining on the six-year contract Moyes signed with the Red Devils in 2013.2The former Everton boss got his dream job when he was hand-picked by Sir Alex Ferguson to succeed him at Old Trafford.After guiding the club to a record 20th top-division title, Fergie even urged fans to stick by their new manager in an impassioned speech on the Old Trafford pitch.But it did not go to plan for Moyes, who was unceremoniously forced out of the door just nine months later.The 57-year-old joined fellow Scots Alan Brazil and Ally McCoist to look back on his brief United career on Thursdays Sports Breakfast show.In a game of First and Lasts, Moyes was asked about the last time he cried.And he couldnt quite disguise the disappointment in his voice when he answered: Oh, I think probably when I lost my job at Manchester United.”

Moyes went on to claim the club have failed to progress since he left Old Trafford five years ago.United have had three permanent managers in the four seasons since his departure, and will end this season without a trophy.“I feel that since I took over to where they are just now, I dont think theres an awful lot of difference,” he said.Getty2When I took over it was needing a change and needing a turnaround of players, and that was all going to take time.I feel like in the four years or so since I was managing there, its probably not moved on much more.Its quite similar, theyre still saying there needs to be changes and has to be things done.That time since I felt hasnt been used awfully well.
