Premier League goals conceded: where defences leak, by position

Each figure adds goals and assists recorded against a team, then divides by that team's analysed matches this season. One goal can contribute both a goal and an assist. These are goal involvements, not expected goals.

Positions describe where the opposition players lined up, rather than the position they are listed in. Red marks a position that has recorded more goals plus assists against that team than the league average for that position, teal fewer. Figures close to average stay untinted.

CF: centre-forwards; LW: left-wingers; RW: right-wingers; CAM: attacking midfielders; CM: central midfielders; CDM: defensive midfielders; LB: left-backs; CB: centre-backs; RB: right-backs.

For example, Manchester United have conceded 0.45 goals plus assists per match to left-wingers (LW). A high figure shows where a defence has given the most away so far.

Figures describe the season so far and move after every round. A few matches can swing a position a long way early on.
