Top 5 Premier League teams caught offside the most this season 2017/18

5. West Ham United

The Hammers have been caught offside 80 times this season in 2017/18.

West Ham have had a poor season. They sacked Slaven Bilic and are now managed by David Moyes. The Scot has helped turn things around so it’s unlikely they will be relegated but they were veering very closely to the relegation zone.

4. Arsenal

The Gunners have been caught offside 82 times this season.

Arsene Wenger has bought a couple new strikers this season which is the likely reason why they have been caught offside so often. Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang have both been caught offside a lot since arriving at Arsenal.

3. Burnley

Burnley have been caught offside 90 times this season. They are known for counter-attacking so it makes sense they would be caught offside a lot. It looks like Sean Dyche’s men will stay up in the Premier League once again. They have done well since getting promoted last season. They are a tough team to beat , especially at home in Turf Moore.

In-fact, they are currently seventh in the Premier League with only a few games left to go. That is an outstanding achievement for the former Championship club.

Burnley Football Club commonly referred to as The Clarets, Burnley FC or simply Burnley is a English football club.

Founded in 1882 and competing in the Premier League, the top tier of English football, the team plays its home matches at the Turf Moor Stadium.

The club was founded in 1882 and they were one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888.

2.Brighton and Hove Albion

Brighton have been caught offside 91 times this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club commonly referred to as The Seagulls or simply Albion is a English football club.

The club was founded in 1901 and are currently competing in the Premier League, the top tier of English football.

They have been playing their home matches at the Falmer Stadium since 2005, having previously played at Goldstone Ground and Withdean Stadium since the club was founded in 1901.

Newly promoted, Brighton and Hove Albion have done well in the Premier League. They are set to stay up as they are in 13th position in the Premier League table. This is a great accomplishment for Brighton.

1. Chelsea FC

The Blues top the list having been caught offside 98 times this season. This is a surprising one, as most teams caught offside are lower-league teams. This is because lower-league teams often employ a counter-attacking system.

But Chelsea are top because they too counter-attack under Antonio Conte. Chelsea often sit back and then launch a counter-attack through Eden Hazard, Willian or Alvaro Morata. I suspect Morata has incurred the majority of the off-sides. The Spaniard still hasn’t adapted to life in the Premier League and is often caught offside
