Abstract

This research explores the tactical and statistical patterns of team performance in the English Premier League (EPL). The study focuses on key metrics such as Expected Goals (xG), Expected Goals Against (xGA), and pressing intensities (PPDA and OPPDA) to understand their impact on team success. Analyzing data from Manchester City (MCI) and Liverpool (LIV) for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons, the study identifies critical factors that differentiate top-performing teams. The results underscore the role of strategic adjustments in enhancing both offensive and defensive capabilities in the EPL.
