Momentum Stacks for GW13

1. Man City – Haaland, Foden, Doku

Highest xG of the gameweek (2.51); Haaland close to a 1.0 goalscoring probability; Leeds are collapsing defensively.

2. Brentford – Thiago, Damsgaard, Schade

Burnley allow the most SoT/90 in the league – perfect conditions for goals and assists.

3. Aston Villa – Watkins, Rogers, Digne

Strong home form, excellent creative and shot metrics; Wolves allow many shots inside the box.

4. Crystal Palace – Pino, Mateta, Sarr

Palace host Manchester United, one of the worst defensive sides in SoT allowed. Casemiro may struggle against Yeremy Pino’s pace.

5. Brighton – Welbeck, Minteh

Consistent creativity against Nottingham Forest, who concede 4.75 SoT/90 away from home.
