Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.8 is decent for Manchester City in their meeting with Southampton, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 16 consecutive English Premier League matches.

A truly awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Southampton fans, as should a 8 English Premier League games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
