On the model's scale they rate 1.54 in attack and 0.76 in defence (1.00 = an average top-flight side, lower defence is better), against Premier League averages of 1.09 and 0.92: above the division's average at both ends. Across their last 5 league matches they have 2 wins and 3 defeats, most recently losing to Nottingham Forest 1-3 away. That is 2.10 points a match, scoring 2.10 and conceding 1.30 per game across 7 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. That leaves them 6 points behind Arsenal at the top, in a table of 20. Among the 20 rated sides in the division that is the 1st-best attack and the 3rd-best defence. They scored in 4 of those 5 and kept 1 clean sheet.
