Xg, or Expected Goals, is a stat which analyses the chances created and states just how many goals a team should have scored in the game. Chances are rated depending upon type and location of a shot etc.

There are far clearer and more detailed explanations you can find online.

MOTD is stale and the Jimmy Hill lookalike in charge with arms waving all over place is a knob ! BBC have this habit of chucking stats at you and analysis is boring. I record and through it all but the actual games !
