The number of big chances missed by Premier League teams pre-November international break - ranked

Scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in football. Bar none.

Some footballers are brilliant at it (Erling Haaland), some are bloody terrible at it (Jamie Carragher — he scored three goals in 508 Premier League appearances for God's sake), and ultimately their proficiency in front of goal can be a determining factor in their team's league fortunes year in, year out.

So, in the midst of the November international break — which we're all enjoying, right? — we at decided to take a look at how good each Premier League team has been at converting their chances so far this season — ranked from least chances missed to most.

Big chances missed: 9
Total goals: 12

One of the teams on this list who convert more chances than they miss, Crystal Palace have Odsonne Edouard's surprisingly good form to thank for being at the bottom of the list.

Big chances missed: 10
Total goals: 10

Sheffield United's big chance conversion rate of 50% isn't too bad, but the number of goals they've conceded at the other end of the park is very bad. The latter is why they're in the relegation zone at the moment.

Big chances missed: 10
Total goals: 10

A peak behind the curtain for you: it took quite a while to actually find a useful image after I typed 'Fulham goal' into Getty Images. That tells you a lot about how they've been doing in the final third this season.

Big chances missed: 11
Total goals: 9

The lowest scorers in the Premier League this season, but their big chance conversion rate isn't terrible. They should probably try creating more chances though. It would help.

Big chances missed: 11
Total goals: 11

Over 50% of Bournemouth's goals this season have come from Dominic Solanke. Good for him.

Big chances missed: 12
Total goals: 26
