Supercomputer predicts how Premier League relegation battle will end

This is all due to Tottenham Hotspur, whose persistent and continued poor results over past weeks, now sees them in with a real chance of demotion to the English second tier, in what would be the most shocking relegation in the Premier League’s over 30-year history.

This is not to say that the title race is not of interest to supporters.

After Arsenal’s surprise defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday allowed Man City to cut the Gunners’ lead at the top of the Premier League table to just six points, a week before the two challengers meet, fans are seriously questioning whether Arteta’s side have what it takes to secure a first league victory since the Invincibles of 2004.

For those unwilling to leave it all to chance, who would perhaps relish the opportunity to peer forwards into the future, to see what is most likely to take place, there is yet hope.

Thanks to leading football statistics experts Opta, a predicted Premier League table has been laid out.

Making use of stats like expected goals and expected wins, Opta have generated a total of expected points for each Premier League side.

The prediction brings difficult news for Tottenham Hotspur fans.

Following their defeat to Sunderland on Sunday, that extended their brutal record of still having not won a Premier League came in 2026, Opta predict that Spurs will finish 18th at the end of the campaign.

That result would see them relegated, while West Ham would survive.
