Manchester City has had a poor run of form in 2015, but they've played better than the results have shown.

City's expected goal stats suggest they have been a bit unlucky during this run.

City still has a better than 90 percent chance of finishing the season in the top-4 of the Premier League, with Liverpool and Southampton each having less than a 10 percent chance of finishing in the top-4.

Manchester City haven't created as many high-quality opportunities this season, one year after winning the Premier League.

The 2013-14 team created 1.68 expected goals per game on an average of 13.18 shots from the run of play. This year, City are shooting more (14.29 per game) but only creating 1.54 expected goals.

The trend also holds true in the penalty area, where shots have increased from 8.42 to 9.26.
