Premier League goal conversion rates: How Liverpool's percentage compares to Arsenal, Man City & Man Utd

How Liverpool’s shot to goal ratio compares to the rest of the Premier League.

As the final weeks of the Premier League roll in, Liverpool find themselves hoping that some Arsenal and Manchester City slip-ups will give them a way back to the top of the table.

The Reds lost their lead after recently dropping points to Manchester United and Crystal Palace, with missed chances the main reason for their disappointing results. Jurgen Klopp’s side have had some frustrating moments in front of goal lately, squandering big chances to score crucial goals, and ultimately dropping points they cannot afford to lose at this stage in the title battle.

There has been a lot of criticism on Liverpool’s finishing in this second half of the season, but how the do the numbers compare to the rest of the league? We have looked at data collected by Transfermarkt which suggests the amount of shots each team has taken this season and how many of those have found the back of the net. Using the percentage provided by the site, which is often advised to be taken with a pinch of salt, we’ve ordered the Premier League clubs based on their shot to goal conversion rate.

Take a look at Liverpool’s figures below and how they look in comparison to their closest rivals.

1 . Newcastle United 566 total shots at goal, 12.2% goal conversion rate
2 . Aston Villa 611 total shots at goal, 11.6% goal conversion rate
3 . Arsenal 723 total shots at goal, 10.7% goal conversion rate
4 . Tottenham Hotspur 634 total shots at goal, 10.3% goal conversion rate
