Counted until each side's first substitution. Both sides attack left to right. Tap a player to isolate his links.

    Where these sides shoot from

    2025/26 season

    Each attack set against the defence it meets, zone by zone. Season shares rather than a forecast; a figure beside a share is how far it sits from the league average, shown only where the gap is worth noticing.
