Premier League news: Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland bucking the trend

So why have this season’s trio started so much better than Leicester City, Ipswich and Southampton 12 months ago?

Because they have been much more successful at keeping Premier League opposition at bay, conceding eight fewer goals and giving up 32 fewer chances between them.

While this season’s promoted sides haven’t actually created much more than last season’s trio, they have been more clinical so far, scoring three more goals despite only taking nine more shots and generating a similar quality of chances in terms of expected goals.
