Tottenham picked up a huge point on Sunday, with Igor Tudor finally ending his losing start to life at the club. Richarlison produced a late equaliser at Anfield to ensure a one-point cushion remains between Tottenham and the bottom three.
The pressure was on after Leeds United, West Ham and Nottingham Forest all across Saturday and Sunday, and Spurs were the last to play. But they managed to match the results of the others and ease relegation players at least for a week.
Here we take a look at where Spurs are expected to end up, according to the predicted table, and examine the run-ins to see who might have the advantage.
