Observations:
1) City are top of nearly every performance based metric that matters. and in the middle for the luck based ones
2) West Brom are bottom of every performance based metric. and by a long way

3) Liverpool are typically 2nd for most performance based measures but concede too many high quality chances. Team most impacted by VAR

4) Leicester are firmly mid-table for all performance measures but top for pens. Villa look better.
5) Brighton still the 2nd/3rd best defensive team in the league
6) United have a decent attack but mediocre defence
7) Leeds decent attack but catasrophic defence
