5) Diogo Jota (Liverpool) – +4.7 goals compared to xG

The Portuguese international is regarded by Reds fans as the club’s most lethal finisher; even more so than Mo Salah.

However, Jota has struggled to stay on the pitch due to injuries this season. After scoring in the 3-1 win over Fulham last weekend, it was confirmed after the match that he picked up another issue.

The forward has hit the back of the net 10 times in 21 league appearances but the stat is even more impressive when you consider that he has only spent 1151 minutes on the pitch.



That means that Jota has scored at a rate of a goal every 116 minutes, demonstrating his ruthlessness when he is available.
