The team from the “City Ground” finished seventh last season, but on the other hand, missed the chance to play in the Champions League in the closing stages. As a result, at the start of the new season, both Nuno Espírito Santo and Postecoglou were dismissed.
The current manager, Dyche, managed to improve the situation with a good run—securing a spot in the Europa League playoffs and climbing out of the Premier League relegation zone. However, since late December, there has been a new series of setbacks. They beat West Ham, which was an important success. But in the cup, they were knocked out by Wrexham, a Championship newcomer, losing on penalties after a draw.
The London giants have finished runners-up in the Premier League three times in a row. Now, they are confidently leading the table. Liverpool, however, managed to hold them to a 0-0 draw. Meanwhile, in the Champions League, they won all six matches. In the cup against Portsmouth, they secured a win with a rotated squad. Recently, they achieved a 3-2 away victory against Chelsea in the League Cup semi-final.
Gibbs-White and his teammates score a goal per game on average, conceding 1.62. The Premier League leader has corresponding statistics: 1.9 goals scored and 0.67 conceded per match.
