16) Cardiff – 44.8% possession
New boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer values an attractive, smooth passing brand of football, so Cardiff’s average possession will likely increase before the season’s out, even if they haven’t got the natural players for it.
15) Sunderland – 45.7% possession
The Black Cats do have technically capable footballers in their lineup, like Emanuel Giaccherini and Ki Sung-Yueng, but it’s been difficult for them to be confident in their passing because their poor start to the season has seen them relegation threatened.
