A supercomputer has now predicted the likelihood of Tottenham Hotspur’s relegation rivals securing victories this gameweek in the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur will now continue their fight to avoid relegation this weekend, with Premier League football returning after a three-week break.
A lot has happened since Spurs last took to the field in the league, where they suffered a disappointing 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in their relegation six-pointer.
Then-manager Igor Tudor has since departed from the Tottenham dugout, with Roberto De Zerbi now first-team coach after replacing the Croat and signing a five-year deal.
De Zerbi is now focused on helping Tottenham beat the drop to the Championship, with seven games to play this season.
