Supercomputer predicts eye-catching Premier League finish after Tottenham win vs Leeds United
Tottenham continued their strong start to the season with a 2-1 victory over Leeds United on Saturday.
The Lilywhites are flying high in the early-season Premier League table, having been beaten just once in their opening seven league outings so far this term.
Thomas Frank made his Tottenham squad aware of their woeful record in games leading into international breaks, but that curse ultimately had little impact as they secured three points in West Yorkshire.
Mohammed Kudus starred again for the N17 outfit, who will be feeling extremely positive about the way that their campaign has begun.
Tottenham predicted to miss out on Europe despite strong start
Frank will be delighted with the start that Tottenham have made so far this term.
The North Londoners got back to winning ways at the weekend after back-to-back league draws had stunted their progress somewhat.
However, there is plenty of positivity in N17 at the moment, and the team appear to have turned a corner from their disastrous domestic campaign under Ange Postecoglou last time out.
The Spurs hierarchy will be desperate to compete for European football once again in 2025-26, and they have certainly done the groundwork for that to be achieved later in the campaign.
However, Opta’s supercomputer views their chances much less favourably, as it provides the latest perspective of the predicted final table following the latest round of Premier League games.
| Team | Expected Points | Title Chance | |
| 6 | Newcastle United | 58.71 | 1.5% |
| 7 | Bournemouth | 57.65 | 1.12% |
| 8 | Tottenham | 57.04 | 1.1% |
| 9 | Aston Villa | 56.09 | 0.74% |
| 10 | Brighton and Hove Albion | 55.19 | 0.64% |
The Lilywhites are currently occupying a healthy third-place at the moment, but are expected to finish in eighth, which would likely see them miss out on European football altogether.
It is certainly an eye-catching suggestion given the impressive start that they have made in recent weeks.
Spurs will be eyeing Champions League qualification
Champions League football will be huge for Tottenham commercially this term, but they want to ensure their participation for next year’s tournament in much easier fashion this time around.
Their domestic struggles in 2024-25 meant that they had to win the Europa League in order to qualify, but they will surely fancy their chances much more this year.
Frank’s men are already discovering ways to get favourable results from games when they are not at their best, and they will take solace from the fact that plenty of their likely rivals are showing signs of issues.
It is undoubtedly a big ask for them to close the gap to the Premier League’s top sides in the space of just one season, but they will certainly have their sights set a lot higher than eighth.
