Tottenham Hotspur performed a gutsy second-half comeback to secure a 2-2 draw against Manchester City after being 2-0 down at half-time in their Premier League clash on Sunday.

Manchester City lost ground on Premier League leaders Arsenal after seeing a two-goal half-time lead collapse thanks to a spirited second half performance from hosts Tottenham Hostpur.

Dominic Solanke’s acrobatic equaliser followed his earlier strike to cancel out first-half goals from Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo for City.

After a strong start to the game, it didn’t take long for City to open the scoring. Bernardo Silva robbed Yves Bissouma of the ball near the halfway line before passing to Erling Haaland, who then quickly fed Cherki. The French forward showed quick feet before arrowing a strike from just inside the box across Guglielmo Vicario to put City 1-0 ahead in the 11th minute.

It was Cherki’s ninth goal for City and his fourth across his last six appearances in all competitions, including back-to-back scoring apps against Galatasaray and Spurs in the space of just four days. In fact, the only player with more goal involvements for a Premier League club this season than Cherki (19) is teammate Haaland (32).

Pep Guardiola’s side doubled their lead a minute before half-time via Semenyo, who side-footed past Vicario after receiving the ball from Silva inside the box.

That goal means that he’s now scored in four of his five competitive appearances since signing for the club. is just the second player to score in four of his first five appearances for the Man City as a Premier League club in all competitions (from 1992-93), after Emmanuel Adebayor in 2009 (also four).

After such an uninspiring first half from Spurs, their fans would have been encouraged by their start to the second period. Gianluigi Donnarumma was forced into a smart save from Destiny Udogie in the 50th minute, before the home side pulled a goal back three minutes later.

Solanke only returned to Premier League action two weeks ago following a five-month injury layoff, but the English striker’s hard work helped to half the deficit in the 53rd minute.

Running onto a ball behind the Man City defence, he powered through a Abdukodir Khusanov challenge before getting to the ball ahead of Guéhi’s attempted tackle and diverting the ball into the back of the City net.

It was Solanke’s first Premier League goal since 25 May and followed Champions League strikes versus Bundesliga pair Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt in January, meaning he’s now scored in three of his last four appearances for Tottenham.

Twenty minutes from time, Spurs produced what had looked like an unlikely equaliser. An industrious Conor Gallagher regained possession in the City half before he delivered an excellent cross from the right wing. That cross was met by an acrobatic effort via Solanke, who sent what could best be described as a ‘scorpion kick’ over Donnarumma’s desperate, outstretched hand.

Spurs’ second-half performance will encourage a fanbase that’s been largely underwhelmed since Thomas Frank’s appointment. Admittedly given no option after going into half-time two goals down, his side showed more attacking purpose in the second half than they’ve shown in most matches this season and earned themselves a great point in the circumstances.

Despite a positive result today, Spurs find themselves closer to the relegation zone (nine points) than the top six (10 points) and they face an incredibly tough February, with Manchester United (A), Newcastle (H) and Arsenal (A) to come in the Premier League this month.

For Man City, the final result today will be extremely disappointing considering their two-goal advantage before Spurs’ first goal arrived on 53 minutes. After Arsenal’s 4-0 win at Leeds on Saturday, City are now six points behind the Gunners with 14 games remaining. Larger deficits have been overcome in history, but with a lack of consistency and time running out, they have a big challenge on their hands.

Tottenham 2-2 Manchester City Post-Match Facts

This was the first time Manchester City had led by 2+ goals in a game and failed to win since April 2018 (3-2 defeat to Manchester United). Coming into today, the Citizens had won on each of the last 115 occasions when leading by 2+ goals at the break (all competitions).

Thomas Frank has taken four points from games versus Manchester City in the Premier League this season (W1 D1); the most by a Tottenham manager in a single campaign since Mauricio Pochettino in 2016-17 (also W1 D1).

Dominic Solanke is just the second Tottenham player to score a brace in a Premier League home game against Manchester City, after Niko Kranjcar at White Hart Lane in December 2009.

Rayan Cherki has been directly involved in 19 goals across all competitions this season (9 goals, 10 assists); the only Premier League player with more goal involvements in 2025-26 is Manchester City teammate Erling Haaland (32), who assisted Cherki’s opener today.

Antoine Semenyo has played five games for Manchester City in all competitions and scored in four of them. He’s just the second player to find the net in as many as four of his first five appearances for the Citizens as a Premier League club (from 1992-93), after Emmanuel Adebayor in 2009 (also 4).

We look ahead to Wednesday’s Champions League game at Deutsche Bank Park with our Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham prediction and preview.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham: The Key Stats

Tottenham are strong favourites for a victory at Frankfurt, being given a 47.6% win probability by the Opta supercomputer.

Spurs have faced Eintracht Frankfurt on six occasions in major European competition, losing just once (W3 D2) and remaining unbeaten in each of the last four (W2 D2).

Frankfurt have only triumphed in one of the seven games they have hosted an English side in a major European competition this century (D3 L3) – a 1-0 win over West Ham United in the Europa League in May 2022.

Life at Tottenham has been difficult to read this season.

Thomas Frank’s side are by many measures the epitome of inconsistency and there is perhaps no better way to illustrate this than the stark contrast between their Premier League and Champions League campaigns.

Spurs are 14th in the league after winning just two of their last 14 matches, whereas in Europe, they sit comfortably in fifth, having won four of seven (D2 L1), with one foot already in the round of 16.

They have won each of their last two Champions League matches – 2-0 against Borussia Dortmund and 3-0 against Slavia Praha – and could record three straight wins in the competition for the first time since November 2019. They last won three in a row while keeping three clean sheets in April 2019.

At the weekend, Cristian Romero rescued a late point against Burnley with a 90th-minute header, salvaging a 2-2 draw and perhaps buying Frank a little more time at the helm. Nevertheless, questions undoubtedly remain over his future in north London after another underwhelming performance.

That is perhaps why their win over Dortmund last week was such a welcome sight for Spurs fans. They were dominant from the outset and took an early lead before the contest was effectively settled when Daniel Svensson was sent off after 26 minutes.

That victory leaves Frank’s side well placed to secure a top-eight finish and avoid the play-off round, which could be a potentially defining achievement given their domestic struggles.

Frankfurt, by contrast, are already out of contention for a spot in the play-offs and will hope to end their league-phase campaign on a positive note.

But history suggests that may be a tall order as Dennis Schmitt’s side have won just one of their seven home matches against English opposition in major European competition this century (D3 L3) – a 1-0 Europa League victory over West Ham in May 2022.

Frankfurt have already hosted English opposition in the Champions League this season, suffering a 5-1 hammering by Liverpool in October.

In Tottenham, they will face a proven difficult opponent. Frankfurt have failed to score in their last two home matches against Spurs – a 0-0 draw in October 2022 and a 1-0 defeat in April 2025, marking the only time they have gone consecutive home European games without scoring against the same opponent.

Even if they do find a way in front, holding onto the lead will be its own challenge. They have dropped more points from winning positions (nine) than any other team in the Champions League this season.

This includes three in each of their previous two outings – a 3-2 defeat at Qarabag and a 2-1 defeat at Barcelona. At the weekend, they suffered a similar fate against Hoffenheim, who overturned an early Arnaud Kalimuendo opener to claim all the points in a 3-1 win.

What will make matters even more difficult for Schmitt’s side is that Tottenham have been one of the competition’s top defensive outfits this season.

Despite conceding exactly one goal on average per game (seven in seven), they boast a 71% clean sheet ratio (five in seven). Spurs are the only team in major European competition history to play five or more matches in a season, concede at least one goal per game, and still maintain a clean-sheet rate of 70% or higher.

With a top-eight finish firmly within reach, and domestic concerns continuing to mount, Tottenham will surely see this as an opportunity to secure another victory Frank so desperately needs.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham Head-to-Head

Tottenham and Eintracht Frankfurt are familiar opponents, having met six times in major European competition. Spurs hold the upper hand, losing just once (W3 D2) and remaining unbeaten across the last four encounters, all of which have come since the 2022-23 season (W2 D2).

Spurs also won the most recent meeting between the sides, edging a 1-0 victory in the second leg of last season’s Europa League quarter-final, thanks to a first-half penalty from Dominic Solanke.

Overall, Tottenham have lost just 17% of their meetings with Frankfurt (1/6; W3 D2 L1). Only against Sparta Prague (0/5; W4 D1) do they have a lower loss percentage among opponents they have faced five or more times in major European competition.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham Prediction

Despite their inconsistent Premier League form, Tottenham have been strong in Europe and the Opta supercomputer pegs them as favourites for victory on Wednesday.

Spurs won 47.6% of the 10,000 pre-match simulations, while Frankfurt prevailed 27.6% of the time. A draw, meanwhile, emerged as the outcome in 24.9% of the simulations.

Opta Power Rankings

The Opta Power Rankings are a global team ranking system. They assign an ability score to over 15,000 domestic football teams. This score is on a scale between zero and 100, where zero is the worst-ranked team in the world and 100 is the best team in the world.

Ahead of kick-off this Wednesday, here is the Opta Power Ranking for both sides.

One year on from us asking whether Tottenham Hotspur were in a relegation battle last season, we ask whether things are even more perilous this time around.

It’s 27 January and Tottenham, plagued with injuries, are in freefall.

Not for the first time this season, this weekend they dropped points against a promoted side despite taking a first-half lead. The latest disappointing result extends a dire winless run, during which they have slid ominously down the Premier League table.

The manager’s excuses are wearing thin on the fans, who have largely run out of patience with him after so many poor results. The ‘R’ word has started being mentioned in some circles.

A relegation battle is a real possibility.

This sounds a lot like the present day, but in fact, it describes the situation a year ago today, at the start of 2025.

Concerningly, history is repeating itself for Tottenham Hotspur.

The parallels stretch as far as the fact that exactly one year ago today, we asked the very same question on these pages: could Tottenham really get relegated?

The difference this year is the promoted sides aren’t hopeless. One of them is above Spurs and another is only two points behind them. The bottom three spots are getting concerningly close, with 18th-placed West Ham, who won away to Spurs only last week to make it two wins on the bounce, having reduced Tottenham’s cushion to the relegation zone to eight points. And they are far from the only team beneath Spurs who are, unlike Thomas Frank’s side, winning matches.

The truth is that nobody really expects Tottenham to go down. They are good enough to be fourth in the league phase of the Champions League, one good result against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday away from finishing in the top eight and qualifying directly to the last 16 without the need for an energy-sapping, two-legged play-off.

But domestically, they have been absolutely dreadful, and unlike last year, they cannot rely on three teams definitely being worse than them.

To avoid going down, 40 points is always the milestone that teams aim for. Tottenham are currently 12 points off that mark and have 15 games left to get those points. That sounds perfectly doable.

But looking back over Spurs’ last 15 Premier League games, they’ve only picked up 14 points. And at the beginning of that run, they at least had a bit of confidence to lean on. Following Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Turf Moor, which followed defeats to Bournemouth (previously without a win in 11) and West Ham (previously without a win in 10), self-belief must be at rock bottom.

What’s more, with West Ham finding form, and Leeds and Nottingham Forest both also picking up points recently, there’s even the chance that the points total needed to survive is higher this season. If Tottenham repeat their form from their previous 15 matches over their remaining games of the season, they’ll reach 42 points. And they seem to be getting worse with every passing week, so there’s no guarantee they’ll even be able to reach that total. The outlook doesn’t look good at all.

However, like most reasonable viewers, the Opta supercomputer still has Tottenham down as outsiders for the drop. In the latest round of 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season, Spurs are relegated 164 times, or 1.64% of the time. Six teams are deemed more likely to go down.

Comparing that to their chances of finishing in the top five – which is, somehow, only nine points away – speaks volumes, though. They are given just a 0.62% chance of achieving what was presumably their pre-season objective and qualifying again for the Champions League (as it appears likely will once again be the case for fifth place in the Premier League).

And things are only going to get more difficult over the next few weeks, too. Spurs face an incredibly tough February, facing Manchester City, a resurgent Manchester United, Newcastle and Arsenal in the space of just 21 days.

For normal teams, playing three of those games on home soil would provide some comfort, but Spurs have the second-worst home record in the Premier League this season, having won only one of their last 10 on home soil. They’ve dropped points against many of the league’s worst teams in that time, so there’s little reason to believe they will beat any of the better ones.

We can use the Opta Power Ranking of every Premier League team to measure exactly how tricky any run of games is and, by that measure, Tottenham’s four upcoming games are more difficult than any other team in the division.

With relegation-threatened West Ham, Burnley and Nottingham Forest all way down the list, the situation might become even more desperate for Tottenham. If recent form is anything to go by, then by the time we reach March, Spurs could quite feasibly be even closer to the drop zone.

In another parallel with last term, Spurs again have Europe as a distraction. They won the Europa League last season while essentially giving up on the Premier League, and although they are extremely unlikely to repeat the trick with more European glory, there is still a slim possibility.

In fact, the Opta supercomputer gives Frank’s side a 1.45% chance of winning the Champions League this season. They are far from the favourites, but they are still the 12th-most likely team to win it, and have almost as much chance of doing so as they do of relegation (1.64%).

Which brings us to the microscopically slim chance that both of those events happen. According the supercomputer’s numbers, Spurs have a 0.024% chance of winning the Champions League and being relegated to the Championship. It’s almost certainly not going to happen, but there is as real a chance as there has been for any team in recent memory. Tottenham are almost unfathomably unpredictable, so if anyone was to do something quite so ridiculous, it could be them.

But before anyone starts dreaming of more silverware, Spurs need to address the rapidly rising chances that they will be relegated this season. Reducing that possibility with a very difficult upcoming month will be a huge challenge.

We look ahead to Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with our Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund prediction and preview. Both teams have a great chance of a top-eight finish.

Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund: The Key Stats

Tottenham are narrow favourites with the Opta supercomputer as they have a 39.2% chance of victory against Borussia Dortmund.

Spurs have won their last four meetings with BVB, all of which were in the UEFA Champions League.

Tottenham’s most frequent source of goals in the Champions League this season has been own goals by the opposition (three).

Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund is a contender for the most important game on Matchday 7 of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League, and that’s not just because Thomas Frank desperately needs a win.

The teams start the matchday 11th and 10th respectively in the league table. They have identical results and goal differences, with Dortmund ahead thanks purely to having scored six more goals. As eighth-placed Atlético Madrid are only one point ahead, and with an inferior goal difference, an automatic qualification spot remains very much up for grabs for Spurs and BVB.

Tottenham head to Eintracht Frankfurt for their final match while Dortmund host Inter. Given the current positions of those opponents (30th and sixth respectively), this match is probably bigger for the visitors when only taking UCL progress into account.

Dortmund are in better form too, as they are unbeaten in seven in all competitions. Tottenham are winless in five and have lost their last three, including Saturday’s London derby loss to West Ham United at home, so it’s obvious why Frank is under such pressure.

The Dane’s cause is not helped by Tottenham’s lengthy injury list. You could imagine Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, João Palhinha and Richarlison all starting this match, yet none of them are available.

Dortmund’s absentee list is not so ominous. Aaron Anselmino, Patrick Drewes, Salih Özcan and Marcel Sabitzer are unlikely to be involved. Ramy Bensebaini may return for the first time since his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations ended. Either way, manager Niko Kovač should be able to call upon three key men.

The first important player is Nico Schlotterbeck, who has made more line-breaking passes (85) than any other defender in the 2025-26 Champions League. He also leads all defenders in the same metric in the competition since the start of last season (286).

If he can help Dortmund get up field, Tottenham will need to be wary of the long-range threat of Felix Nmecha. He has scored with three of his five shots from outside the box in the Champions League this season (60%). This is the highest conversion rate by a player with 3+ goals from outside the box in a single edition since Oscar for Chelsea in 2012-13 (three from four, 75%).

The visitors can call upon an even more potent threat. Since the start of last season, Serhou Guirassy has been directly involved in more goals (22) than any other player in the Champions League (16 goals, six assists). His 16 goals is also the joint-most by any player in this period, along with Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé.

Nmecha and Guirassy have enabled Dortmund to have the highest shot conversion rate (24%) in the Champions League this season. They are also the team who have overperformed their xG total by the biggest margin (+6.2, thanks to 19 goals from 12.8 expected).

This could make the difference, given Tottenham’s most frequent source of goals in the competition has been opposition own goals (three) in 2025-26. Spurs have a formidable defensive record at home in the Champions League, though.

They are the only team to have won all three of their home matches without conceding in 2025-26. Tottenham have also kept a clean sheet in 54% of their Champions League games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (seven from 13). It’s the third-best rate among teams with more than 10 games at a stadium in Champions League history.

This helps explain why Spurs are unbeaten in their last 23 home European matches (including qualifiers). They have won 19 and drawn four since a 1-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in February 2020. As Dortmund have lost 10 of their 14 away Champions League matches in England, including seven of the last eight, Tottenham may get the victory Frank so urgently requires.

Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund Head-to-Head

This will be seventh major European match between Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund. The German side won both in the 2015-16 UEFA Europa League but Spurs have won all four in the Champions League, across the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaigns.

Dortmund have also played more Champions League games against Spurs without winning than any other club. They’ve only lost more often against Real Madrid (eight times).

The last meeting in north London ended 3-0 to Tottenham. Goals from Son Heung-min, Jan Vertonghen and Fernando Llorente sealed a comfortable victory in what was the season Spurs reached the final.

Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction

This match could easily go either way. Tottenham are favourites with the Opta supercomputer, but their 39.2% probability of winning is hardly conclusive, especially when Borussia Dortmund’s chances are rated at 34.9%.

Only two other UEFA Champions League fixtures this week are more closely matched on the pre-game simulations.

Perhaps these teams will therefore cancel each other out. The draw is a 25.9% possibility, so not too far behind the chances either side has of victory. This should be close.

Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund Predicted Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur: Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso, Djed Spence, João Palhinha, Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons, Mathys Tel, Randal Kolo Muani.

Head coach: Thomas Frank

Borussia Dortmund: Gregor Kobel, Niklas Süle, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Yan Couto, Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha, Julian Ryerson, Maximilian Beier, Carney Chukwuemeka, Serhou Guirassy.

Head coach: Niko Kovač

Opta Power Rankings

The Opta Power Rankings are a global team ranking system. They assign an ability score to over 15,000 domestic football teams. This score is on a scale between zero and 100, where zero is the worst-ranked team in the world and 100 is the best team in the world.

Ahead of kick-off on Tuesday, here is the Opta Power Ranking for both sides.

We look ahead to Saturday’s Premier League game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with our Tottenham vs Liverpool prediction and preview.

Tottenham vs Liverpool: The Key Stats

Liverpool are the favourites with the Opta supercomputer, with their chances of a win over Tottenham rated at 42.3%.

Tottenham have won just twice in their previous 25 Premier League meetings with Liverpool.

Spurs forward Richarlison has been involved in more Premier League goals against the Reds than against any other team.

It wasn’t long ago that Arne Slot was the manager most under pressure in the Premier League. This dishonour has since passed to Thomas Frank, so there’s a lot riding on Tottenham’s match with Liverpool on Saturday.

While this is Frank’s first meeting with Liverpool since becoming Spurs boss, they do not have a good record against the champions. Slot’s men won both Premier League meetings last season by 6-3 and 5-1 scorelines. Only the Reds themselves have scored 5+ goals in three consecutive games against an opponent in the competition, doing so against Norwich between September 2012 and December 2013.

Even if they don’t go crazy this time around, Liverpool rarely fail to score in this fixture. They found the net in 25 of their previous 26 Premier League games against Spurs, including the last 19 in a row. Only against Arsenal (a current run of 20) have they had a longer scoring streak in the competition.

It’s little wonder then that Liverpool versus Tottenham is the top scoring fixture in Premier League history, with 206 goals. The last three league meetings saw 21 goals, with at least three scored in 14 of the previous 16 clashes.

This trend looks likely to continue, too. Among ever present teams in the last two Premier League seasons, only Bournemouth (16) have conceded two or more goals in more away games than Liverpool (15). In their last 17 on the road, the Reds either kept a clean sheet (6) or conceded 2+ goals (11).

While Tottenham kept Brentford out in their last league game at home, their defensive record is also a concern. They have lost four Premier League games by 3+ goals in 2025, including a 3-0 loss at Nottingham Forest last time out. Only in 1997 (5) and 2014 (6) have they lost more matches by 3+ goals in a calendar year in the competition.

Three of those four heavy losses occurring on the road makes it less likely Liverpool will win so handsomely here. Equally, Spurs have lost 10 home league games in 2025, their joint most in a year along with 1994 and 2003.

Much will depend on the teams Frank and Slot can select, as both are dealing with depleted squads. Spurs look to be without eight players, the most notable of which include Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie. While they are all injured, Pape Sarr is now on AFCON duty.

The same can be said for Mohamed Salah, though that may be a blessing in disguise for Slot given the recent distractions around the Egyptian. The Liverpool head coach’s options remain limited though. Conor Bradley is back from suspension, which is well timed given Joe Gomez will miss some games with a hamstring issue. Wataru Endo and Cody Gakpo are also out, though Dominik Szoboszlai could be available despite limping off with an ankle problem in the win over Brighton last weekend. Jeremie Frimpong is close to a return, but this game will likely come too soon for him.

As much as Alexander Isak has a great record against Tottenham, with six goals in his last four appearances against them, Hugo Ekitiké should retain his place up front for Liverpool. He netted braces against Leeds and Brighton in his last two Premier League matches; only Luis Suárez has scored multiple goals in three consecutive Premier League games for Liverpool (four in December 2013). His run included goals in a 5-0 win at White Hart Lane.

If Tottenham are to win, their hopes may rest with Richarlison. The Brazilian has been involved in seven Premier League goals against Liverpool (four goals, three assists), more than against any other opponent. A potential fly in the ointment is that his goals have all been at Anfield, but against a Liverpool side that concedes plenty on the road, the former Everton man will be confident of making an impact.

It promises to be a fascinating game, with Frank hoping for a win to ease the building pressure on his head, while Slot will be eager to make it three wins in a row in all competitions and maintain some much-needed momentum for his team.

Tottenham vs Liverpool Head-to-Head

There won’t be many matchups between big clubs in top leagues that have been as one-sided as this one in recent times.

Tottenham have won just two of their last 25 Premier League games against Liverpool (losing 17), picking up home wins in October 2017 (4-1) and September 2023 (2-1). The latter of those victories needed a wrongly-disallowed Luis Díaz goal, red cards for Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota plus a stoppage time own goal winner from Joel Matip.

Across their two Premier League meetings last season, Liverpool scored 11 goals and were able to fire away 49 shots as they enjoyed 6-3 and 5-1 victories against a porous Tottenham defence.

One positive for Spurs is their 1-0 win in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg when these teams last met in north London in January. But the other three meetings in 2024-25 ended 6-3, 4-0 and 5-1 to the Reds.

Tottenham vs Liverpool Prediction

The Opta supercomputer predicts Liverpool will continue their excellent record against Tottenham with a win.

Arne Slot’s side were victorious in 42.3% of the 10,000 simulations of the match. That makes it 10 percentage points more likely than a Spurs win (32.3%), with a draw taking up the 25.4% that remains.

No other Premier League match this weekend has teams with a probability of victory this close to each other though, so it could go either way.

Tottenham vs Liverpool Predicted Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur: Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence, Rodrigo Bentancur, Archie Gray, Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Randal Kolo Muani, Richarlison.

Head Coach: Thomas Frank

Liverpool: Alisson Becker, Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez, Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister, Federico Chiesa, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitiké.

Head Coach: Arne Slot

Opta Power Rankings

The Opta Power Rankings are a global team ranking system. They assign an ability score to over 15,000 domestic football teams. This score is on a scale between zero and 100, where zero is the worst-ranked team in the world and 100 is the best team in the world.

Ahead of kick-off this weekend, here is the Opta Power Ranking for both sides.

Can Spurs continue to shine on home soil in the UEFA Champions League? We look ahead to Tuesday’s clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with our Tottenham vs Slavia Prague prediction and preview.

Tottenham vs Slavia Prague: The Key Stats

Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 22 UEFA club competition matches at home (W18 D4) and are the Opta supercomputer’s favourites to extend that with victory here (63%).

Spurs have avoided defeat in their last seven European matches against Czech opponents (W5 D2).

Slavia Prague are winless in their last 16 matches in the Champions League proper (D7 L9), and 12 without victory in major European competitions (D4 L10).

Tottenham and home comforts are two things that have not gone hand in hand in 2025, as far as the Premier League is concerned anyway.

Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Brentford – secured by first-half strikes from Richarlison and Xavi Simons – was just their fourth success in 17 home league games in 2025 (D3), during which they have registered 10 defeats, a joint-high for the club in a calendar year (also recording that tally in 1994 and 2003).

Yet, it has been a different story on the continent, with Thomas Frank’s side winning both their Champions League home games this season ahead of hosting Slavia Prague on Tuesday, scoring five goals without reply in beating Villarreal (1-0) and Copenhagen (4-0).

That has stretched the Europa League champions’ unbeaten streak in UEFA competition to 22 home matches (W18 D4), while they are now looking to register clean sheets in four successive European Cup/Champions League home games for the first time.

The omens are positive for Spurs, who are unbeaten in all four of their previous meetings with Slavia Prague (W3 D1) and have avoided defeat in their last seven matches against Czech opposition stretching back to 1962.

Despite coming out on the wrong end of an eight-goal thriller with Paris Saint-Germain last time out in the Champions League – suffering their first defeat in the league phase – Tottenham are just two points shy of the top eight in 16th place.

Standing in their way on Tuesday are a side still looking for their first European win of this term. Slavia are at least flying in the Czech First League, with a run of five straight wins moving them five points clear at the summit.

Their 3-0 defeat at home to Arsenal on Matchday 4 represents their only loss in 12 matches in all competitions. Jindrich Trpisovsky’s side have been unable to transfer their domestic form onto the European stage, though, occupying 31st place in the league phase with just three points on the board from five games.

Following their goalless draw with Athletic Club on MD5, Slavia are without a victory in their last 16 matches in the Champions League proper (D7 L9) since beating FCSB 2-1 in September 2007.

Slavia are also winless in their last 12 major European matches (D5 L7), and have won just two of their previous 16 games against English opposition (D4 L10).

They are looking to avoid becoming the first team not to score in five straight Champions League matches since Milan in October 2023, though their attack could be weakened by Tomás Chory’s potential absence through illness. However, Mojmír Chytil is likely to play, fresh from scoring braces in successive league games, including Friday’s 2-1 win over Teplice, while winger Ivan Schranz recently returned from injury.

Meanwhile, Spurs have Brennan Johnson available after suspension following his red card against Copenhagen. Destiny Udogie was a late withdrawal ahead of Spurs’ win over Brentford, so the left-back is unlikely to be risked here. Randal Kolo Muani was seen limping after the weekend win and is a doubt.

Tottenham vs Slavia Prague Head-to-Head

Tottenham are unbeaten in their four previous meetings with Slavia Prague in UEFA club competitions (W3 D1), all of which were played in the UEFA Cup between 2006 and 2008.

Spurs have also avoided defeat in each of their last seven matches against Czech opponents (W5 D2), since a 1-0 reverse against Dukla Prague in the first leg of their European Cup quarter-final tie in February 1962.

Meanwhile, Slavia have won only two of their 16 previous European games against English teams (D4 L10). Both of those victories came in the UEFA Cup/Europa League, beating Leeds United 2-1 in 2000 and Leicester City in 2021.

The Opta Power Rankings are a global team ranking system. They assign an ability score to over 10,000 domestic football teams. This score is on a scale between zero and 100, where zero is the worst-ranked team in the world and 100 is the best team in the world.

Ahead of kick-off on Tuesday, here is the Opta Power Ranking for both sides.

Will Eddie Howe’s side keep the good times rolling? We look ahead to Tuesday’s Premier League clash with our Newcastle vs Tottenham prediction and preview.

Newcastle vs Tottenham: The Key Stats

Newcastle United are the favourites for this clash, defeating Tottenham Hotspur in 54.7% of pre-match simulations by the Opta supercomputer.

Tottenham are unbeaten in all four of their Premier League games outside of London this season.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has won six of his eight top-flight matches against Spurs manager Thomas Frank.

Eddie Howe will hope Newcastle United can further build on their recent momentum when they host out-of-form Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night.

Newcastle ended a nine-game winless run on the road with a thumping 4-1 victory over Everton in Saturday’s Premier League clash. Malick Thiaw headed home twice, along with goals for Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

A first away win of the season in the league for Newcastle made it back-to-back victories after an impressive 2-1 triumph over Manchester City last time out at St. James’ Park. Harvey Barnes‘ double proved the difference in that clash, though Howe’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat against Marseille in the UEFA Champions League in between their domestic triumphs.

Howe will head into this one full of confidence, too, given Newcastle have won 11 of their 16 home Premier League matches in 2025 (69%). That return marks their fifth-best home win ratio in a calendar year in the competition, with two of the club’s top five coming under Howe (also 70% in 2023, won 14/20).

The Newcastle boss has also won six of his eight top-flight matches against Spurs manager Thomas Frank (D1 L1), who is facing increasing pressure after a turgid run of form. All of Howe’s victories came against Brentford before Frank swapped west London for north in the capital.

Bruno Guimarães may be central to any hope of Newcastle making it three league wins on the spin. The Brazilian has been involved in 11 goals in his last 19 home Premier League games (7 goals, 4 assists).

Guimarães has either scored (2) or assisted (1) in each of his last three at St James’ Park, his best ever run in the competition. Newcastle may need to watch out for another Brazilian at the other end of the pitch, though.

Richarlison has been involved in six goals in 10 Premier League appearances against Newcastle (4 goals, 2 assists), only managing more against Liverpool (4 goals, 3 assists). The Spurs striker scored twice in a 4-1 win in December 2023 in his last game against the Magpies.

Shortly after Newcastle’s win on Merseyside, Fulham took an early two-goal lead at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Harry Wilson’s strike coming from a Guglielmo Vicario error. Mohammed Kudus pulled one back with a stunning second-half volley, but that could not stop Spurs from a 2-1 defeat, leaving them with just one victory in six league games.

Frank’s side have still impressed away from home, claiming 13 of 18 top-flight points available. They are also unbeaten in all four Premier League away games outside of London this season (W3 D1), last enjoying a longer such run between March and October 2022 (6 matches).

Spurs’ midweek record makes for more concerning reading, however. They have won just one of their last 13 league games (D2 L10) played on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, and have lost their last seven such fixtures, scoring only once.

The pair’s midweek returns could not be further apart, though these two sides are almost inseparable in the table. Goal difference has 12th-place Spurs just one position above Newcastle, though it will be the Magpies who fancy their chances here.

In terms of team news, Howe will hope that Sven Botman can shake off a back issue that kept him out of the Everton win. Yoane Wissa is back in training but not expected to return for this clash, while Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth remain out.

Cristian Romero will expect to come back from his one-match suspension to start on Tyneside for Spurs, though Dominic Solanke, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are still sidelined. Questions may also be asked over first-choice goalkeeper Vicario after his Fulham error, with Antonín Kinsky waiting in the wings.

Newcastle vs Tottenham Head-to-Head

Tottenham have lost their last three Premier League games against Newcastle, last suffering more consecutive defeats against the Magpies between April 2006 and December 2008 (6).

In fact, Newcastle have won five of their last six league fixtures against Spurs (L1), as many as they had in their previous 17 (D2 L10).

Howe’s side have also won their last three home league games against Spurs by an aggregate score of 12-2, having previously managed just two wins in 11 head-to-head meetings before (D3 L6).

Barnes and Alexander Isak were on target, either side of Dan Burn’s own goal, in a 2-1 victory for Newcastle the last time these two sides met in the league at St. James’ Park in September 2024.

Newcastle vs Tottenham Prediction

The Opta supercomputer favours a home win as Newcastle triumphed in 54.7% of 10,000 pre-match simulations.

Frank desperately needs a result but Spurs only managed a rare win over Newcastle in 22% of the sims, with a draw rated more likely at 23.3%.

Newcastle vs Tottenham Predicted Lineups

Newcastle United: Nick Pope, Tino Livramento, Malick Thiaw, Fabian Schär, Lewis Hall, Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, Nick Woltemade.

Head coach: Eddie Howe

Tottenham Hotspur: Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence, Rodrigo Bentancur, João Palhinha, Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Randal Kolo Muani, Richarlison.

Head coach: Thomas Frank

Ahead of kick-off on Tuesday night, here is the Opta Power Ranking for both sides.

An enthralling London derby ended with an away win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Look back with the best facts and Opta data in our Tottenham vs Fulham stats page.

Tottenham suffered their 10th Premier League home defeat of 2025 on Saturday as they were beaten 2-1 by Fulham, their woes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium showing no sign of stopping.

Spurs went into the game having already fallen to more home league losses in 2025 than any other team who were ever-presents across this season and last, and Saturday’s defeat saw them reach double figures in their own stadium in a calendar year for the first time since 2003.

And it wasn’t as if Saturday’s visitors had a good away record either – Fulham’s one point on the road this term was the joint worst in the division going into Matchday 13.

But the Cottagers stunned Tottenham with two early goals that were ultimately decisive despite Spurs improving somewhat in the second half.

What they mustered wasn’t enough, however, with the intense boos at full-time illustrative of the pressure Thomas Frank is starting to come under.

Fulham couldn’t have hoped for a much better start as they raced into a two-goal lead by the sixth minute.

Samuel Chukwueze inspired the fourth-minute opener, his cut-back towards the edge of the box catching Spurs out and finding Kenny Tete, whose shot took a slight deflection off Destiny Udogie on its way past Guglielmo Vicario.

Spurs’ goalkeeper was then culpable less than two minutes later, when he rushed out of his area and cleared the ball straight to Josh King, the young midfielder shifting possession on to Harry Wilson for a shot into the empty net from out wide on the right.

It was the earliest (5 minutes, 43 seconds) in Premier League history that Spurs found themselves trailing 2-0 at home, and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was in shock.

Things could’ve got even worse when Chukwueze struck the post in the 11th minute, while the Nigerian was denied a certain goal by a desperate last-ditch tackle from Micky van de Ven after skipping past Vicario.

Spurs did appear to get a bit more of a handle on Fulham’s devastating transitions but offered precious little genuine threat themselves, reaching half-time having had just two shots equating to 0.07 expected goals (xG).

That may not have been especially shocking given Tottenham have had the fewest shots (44) and shots on target (14) and third-lowest xG (4.68) in the first half of Premier League games this season, though that’ll have been no comfort to despondent Spurs fans who booed them off at the break.

Such frustration reflected a sense of hopelessness at the situation; after all, Tottenham hadn’t won any of their previous 39 Premier League games when trailing by 2+ goals at half time (D2 L37) since a 3-2 win at Arsenal back in November 2010.

There was a modest improvement after the break, though, and Spurs were back to within one goal of their visitors by the hour after Mohammed Kudus chested down Lucas Bergvall’s pass and unleashed an unstoppable strike into the top-right corner from a relatively acute angle.

Something of an onslaught followed, during which Bergvall saw a header cleared off the line by Raúl Jiménez. But Fulham survived unscathed and found a foothold in the game once again following a flurry of substitutions.

Spurs never really found their groove again and Fulham held onto their first away win of the 2025-26 Premier League season.

Tottenham vs Fulham Stats: Post-Match Facts

Tottenham are averaging just 9.5 shots and 3.2 shots on target per game in the Premier League this season; both of which are their lowest averages on record in a single campaign (since 2003-04). Meanwhile, only Burnley (9) have posted an xG total lower than one in more Premier League games than Tottenham (8) in 2025-26.

Fulham picked up just their second away win against Tottenham in the Premier League within the last two decades, with this their first since a 1-0 victory in March 2013 under Martin Jol.

Tottenham have lost four consecutive home London derbies for the first time in the Premier League (v Chelsea x2, Crystal Palace and Fulham).

Tottenham suffered their 10th home defeat of 2025 in the Premier League, with this now their joint-most home league defeats in a single calendar year in club history (also 10 in 1994 and 2003).

We look ahead to Saturday’s Premier League game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium between Spurs and Fulham with our prediction and preview.

Tottenham vs Fulham: The Key Stats

Though they have won just one home league game this season, the Opta supercomputer considers Spurs to be strong favourites for this match against Fulham, winning 53.2% of simulations.

No side have earned fewer away points than Fulham in the Premier League this season (1), while only Wolves (1) have earned fewer at home than Spurs (5).

Richarlison has scored 16 goals in his last 22 Premier League starts for Spurs, netting in his last two against Man Utd and Arsenal.

It would be fair to say that Thomas Frank has not lived up to expectations so far as coach of Tottenham Hotspur. The club sit ninth in the Premier League table – albeit in a clustered set of standings where a win could catapult them into the European spots – but it’s the more performances that are of concern.

The near-defeat of Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup, followed by win-to-nil victories over Burnley and Manchester City, suggested that Frank may be able to use the momentum of their Europa League triumph to turn them into a force to be reckoned with once more.

Instead, his team has appeared poorer and poorer as the campaign has progressed, and early-season promise has given way to the realisation that there is a great deal of work to be done if they are to become competitive at the top of the table.

They have overperformed their expected goals more than any other side in the Premier League this season, netting almost nine goals more than their xG suggests (20 goals, 11.2 xG).

You cannot hide from xG forever, and the results have fallen off a cliff of late.

Spurs have won just two of their last nine games in all competitions, and this run includes some of their worst performances in recent times – a 1-0 defeat at home to Chelsea in which they recorded 0.10 expected goals, and a 4-1 defeat away to Arsenal where their xG figure was 0.07.

They are the two worst performances for xG across the entire Premier League this season and are more becoming of a side destined for relegation.

Even in defence, there has been a great deal of slippage. Spurs have conceded seven goals in their three Premier League games in November, as many as they had in their nine games across August, September and October combined.

There was a spark of life in midweek when they led twice away to PSG in the Champions League, but they ultimately fell to a 5-3 defeat, and it would be dishonest to take too many positives from a game in which they conceded five goals in a 31-minute window.

You would think that a home match against a 15th-placed Fulham would be a perfect fixture to course-correct their season, but the truth is that you will find few Spurs fans who are confident of a win, and they have good reason to doubt their side at home.

Spurs would be second bottom, ahead of just Wolverhampton Wanderers, in a table accounting only for results on home soil this season, with five points from six games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Of the 17 ever-present sides across the last two seasons, none have won fewer home games (3), lost more home games (9), or earned fewer home points (12) in 2025 than Spurs. They haven’t lost 10 home league games in a single calendar year since 2003 (10).

The good news for Spurs fans is that Fulham are as poor away as Spurs are at home.

Marco Silva’s side have earned just one point on their travels this season, the joint-lowest total in the Premier League this season (Wolves, again).

Indeed, the Cottagers have lost their last five on the road in the Premier League, last having a longer run between January and April 2019 (7).

Even though Fulham are as poor as they have ever been under Silva, they have still won two of their last three league matches – important contests against Wolves and Sunderland – and they have a habit of avoiding ever truly being in danger of relegation under the Portuguese coach.

Fulham have had problems with injuries this season, but their squad is starting to shape again. Their only expected absences for this game are Rodrigo Muniz and Antonee Robinson.

Spurs meanwhile will be without the suspended Cristian Romero, while the likes of Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke and James Maddison remain out.

Tottenham vs Fulham Head-to-Head

The last meeting between these sides saw Fulham beat Spurs 2-0 at Craven Cottage in March of this year, with a tight affair altered in the 78th minute when Muniz scored from the bench, before former Spurs man Ryan Sessegnon added a second late on.

After winning eight of their nine Premier League games against Fulham between 2013 and 2023 (D1), Spurs are now winless in their last three against the Cottagers (D1 L2).

Fulham have won two of their last three Premier League games against Spurs (D1), as many as they had in their previous 23 against them (D6 L15).

Tottenham have lost 1-0 against Chelsea and 4-1 against Arsenal in their last two league London derbies. They’ve not lost three in a row in the same campaign since September/October 2021 (a run of four).

Tottenham vs Fulham Prediction

Spurs were victorious in 53.2% of the Opta supercomputer’s simulations. A draw was the second most likely outcome, occurring in 24% of simulations, while Fulham came out on top in 22.8% of sims.

Ahead of kick-off this weekend, here is the Opta Power Ranking for both sides.

A treble from Eberechi Eze helped Arsenal go six points clear at the top of the Premier League. Check out the best facts and Opta data with our Arsenal vs Tottenham stats page.

Eberechi Eze rubbed salt into Tottenham wounds as he scored a hat-trick in a dominant 4-1 win for Arsenal in the north London derby at the Emirates Stadium.

The England international came close to signing for Spurs in the summer before instead joining Arsenal, and his treble helped the Gunners extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points on Sunday.

Leandro Trossard gave Arsenal the lead in the 36th minute as Mikel Arteta’s men broke down Thomas Frank’s three-at-the-back formation, before Eze doubled the advantage a few minutes later. He added another just seconds into the second half, before Richarlison pulled one back with a stunning goal from distance.

Eze put things to bed with his third in the 76th minute on a day that the former Crystal Palace man, and all Arsenal fans, will remember for a long time.

The league leaders were without the injured Gabriel Magalhães, with Piero Hincapié making his first league start for Arsenal. The Colombian didn’t have much to do, though, as the hosts dominated their local rivals.

Spurs arrived in excellent away form, the only team in England’s top four divisions yet to be beaten on the road prior to the game, but they ultimately never looked like taking anything back across north London with them here against a strong home side playing with extreme confidence.

Arsenal had the first chance of the game as Eze lifted a clever ball over the Spurs defence for Declan Rice to volley at goal, though Guglielmo Vicario kept it out, and the subsequent deflection back off Kevin Danso rolled just wide.

Much of the first half hour was tentative and slow, with Arsenal fans unironically booing as Spurs took time over set-pieces, but the deadlock was broken in the 36th minute.

It was created with a sublime pass from Mikel Merino, who was given too much time to pick a straight ball into the well-timed run of Trossard, and the Belgian turned back onto his left foot before guiding his shot just inside the post.

Tottenham’s tactics were only ever likely to work if they could stay level or get ahead, and once they went behind it already felt like game over.

It arguably was when Eze made it 2-0 in the 41st minute, able to find space on the edge of the box – which would be a recurring theme – before riding some weak Spurs challenges and firing past Vicario.

Tottenham failed to register a single shot in the first half. Having done the same in their home loss to Bournemouth in August, it made Spurs the only side in the Premier League this season to attempt zero shots in two separate first halves, the same amount as across their previous 205 matches in the competition combined.

Frank changed to a back four at half-time as he brought Xavi Simons on for Danso, but it didn’t have much of an impact initially. In fact, it took Arsenal just 35 seconds to find a third goal. Eze again received the ball in space on the edge of the box after some determined work from Jurriën Timber, before placing a left-footed shot low to Vicario’s right.

It took until the 55th minute for Spurs to have a shot, but it was arguably worth the wait. Martín Zubimendi dawdled on the ball on the halfway line and was tackled by João Palhinha, with the ball rolling to Richarlison, and the former Everton man lobbed David Raya from distance with an inch-perfect effort to reduce the deficit.

While it felt like a consolation, it did dampen the atmosphere and Spurs visibly gained some confidence from it as they finally had some of the ball in Arsenal territory.

It didn’t do much good, though, with Eze sealing his hat-trick with 14 minutes remaining, once again finding himself in plenty of space on the edge of the box after being set up by Trossard before bending his shot in, this time to Vicario’s left.

It was only the fourth ever hat-trick in competitive meetings between Arsenal and Spurs, after Ted Drake (Arsenal, October 1934), Terry Dyson (Spurs, August 1961) and Alan Sunderland (Arsenal, December 1978).

Eze could and possibly should have had another moments later, once more in a central area, but this time Vicario was equal to his shot.

The ‘ole’s’ rang out as Arsenal passed it around in stoppage time and victory was secured, giving them a six-point lead ahead of Chelsea in second, whom they travel to next weekend.

Arsenal vs Tottenham: Selected Post-Match Facts

Arsenal have won each of their last four league games against Tottenham Hotspur, only enjoying longer runs in August 1980 (6 wins) and January 1989 (5 wins).

Tottenham Hotspur have recorded the two lowest expected goals totals in a Premier League game this season, 0.07 against Arsenal and 0.1 against Chelsea at the start of November.

In 2025, only Erling Haaland (25), Mohamed Salah (23), Bryan Mbeumo (21) and Antoine Semenyo (18) have been involved in more Premier League goals than Arsenal’s Eberechi Eze (18 – 10 goals, 8 assists).
