Marcus Tavernier is their entry in the division's scoring charts on 5 β 31% of everything the side has scored.
The Pace They Are On
15 points from 10 is 1.5 per game. Held across a full season that lands around 57 points. Whether that is enough depends entirely on the clubs immediately around them in the table above β which is why the gap to Everton FC matters more than the headline that brought you here.
