Here are my goal expectancies for EPL matches in GW27.
The numbers
The methods used to generate these are:
- Goals scored/conceded home/away last season + this season (weighted for % through season)
- Total shots and shots-on-target ratio (this season)
The GEs produced from the above methods are then averaged to give the above results.

Summary
- My banker for this week is Man City with a goal supremacy value of 1.96.
- I predict the highest scoring game to be Man City vs Leicester with a total Goal Expectancy of 3.63 (most likely scores are 2-0, 3-0, 2-1 in that order)
- Swansea vs Burnley looks to be the lowest scoring game with a Goal Expectancy of just 1.96. 0-0 is a real possibility!
Bet of the week
Chelsea vs West Brom
Analysis: Chelsea have conceded 7 goals in the last two games against mid-table teams, so they'll be trying to make sure they keep a clean sheet at home to low-scoring WBA. Likely scores are 1-0, 2-0 in a game that Conte will be desperate to win after recent poor results. 7/11 of Chelsea's home games had 2 goals or fewer, while 9/13 of WBA's away games had the same.
Bet: 1pt Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.19 (Dafabet)
Finally, the Asian Handicap picks I've gone for in 
Tottenham Under 3.25
Everton -0.25
Burnley +0.25
Newcastle +0.75
Chelsea Under 2.75
Thanks for reading, and good luck with your FPL and/or bets this week!
