Opta’s Supercomputer has revised its prediction on where Tottenham Hotspur will finish in the Premier League following their 3-0 win at Everton.
Tottenham have proven themselves to be an extremely solid and well-organised team away from home this season, and they delivered another professional performance in Merseyside on Sunday.
Spurs became the first team to win at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium and moved back to third place in the Premier League table after the result.
It is a strange-looking top four at the moment in the division, with Bournemouth sitting in second and Sunderland in fourth, but Tottenham appear to be right in the thick of the race for a top-four finish.
Opta’s Supercomputer predicts where Tottenham will finish in the Premier League
After their 2-1 loss at home against Aston Villa last week, Opta predicted that Spurs would finish in 10th place, accumulating 54.61 points.
However, Opta’s algorithm has now revised its prediction after seeing Frank’s men keep yet another clean sheet and emerge with another three points from their trip up to Everton.
Opta’s prediction table now has Tottenham finishing in eighth place with 58.13 points after their latest win.

However, the supercomputer still only gives Thomas Frank’s men a 19.42 per cent chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
Thomas Frank has silenced critics over his midfield selections
There were plenty of question marks about Tottenham’s midfield balance ahead of the game, and it is fair to say that Spurs fans were not too happy when Frank once again started a double-pivot of Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha against Everton.
However, the two experienced midfielders showed exactly why they are in the team, shielding the back four impressively and being first to almost every loose ball.
