Opta’s supercomputer has altered its prediction on where Tottenham Hotspur will finish in the Premier League table after a dreadful 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.
Tottenham Hotspur were already in a bleak position ahead of the North London derby and now things are even worse.
West Ham’s draw against Bournemouth means Spurs are now only four points above the relegation zone, while 15th-place Leeds have extended their lead over Igor Tudor’s team.
Should Nottingham Forest defeat a struggling Brighton side on Sunday, Tottenham would drop to 17th unless they are able to get at least a draw against Fulham.
Opta Supercomputer predicts Tottenham’s Premier League finish
The Opta Supercomputer updates its predicted Premier League table after each game and two weeks ago, Spurs were set to finish in 15th.
However, following a defeat to Arsenal, Tottenham are now expected to finish in 16th with a points tally of 43.39.
The bottom section of the table is predicted to remain largely as it is now, with Leeds finishing one position ahead of Spurs and Nottingham Forest slotting in at 17th. West Ham are predicted to remain in the drop zone.
This would put Tottenham one place and a few points better off than their previous campaign, but then again, 17th and a Europa League trophy is the much better overall season.
The supercomputer has been generous to Spurs
As bad as 16th place sounds, the Supercomputer has actually been kind to Tottenham based on their performances over the past couple of months.
Spurs have only picked up seven points from their 11 most recent Premier League matches. If they record the same number of points from their final 11, their tally for the season will be 36.
Tudor’s first match at the club was certainly one to forget, but Tottenham supporters will hope he can secure victories more easily than Frank and prevent this potential scenario.
