Opta’s Supercomputer has revised its relegation odds after Tottenham failed to seize the opportunity to give themselves some breathing space in the battle for survival.
Spurs had an opportunity to all but seal survival with a win over Leeds by opening up a four-point lead over West Ham with two games to go.
Instead, their wait for a home win goes on, with the Lilywhites finding themselves in an extremely precarious position heading into the final two games of the season after playing out a 1-1 draw with Daniel Farke’s men.
While Spurs’ fate is still very much in their hands, they now know that just one slip-up against either Chelsea or Everton could spell disaster, with West Ham sitting just two points behind.

Opta’s Supercomputer still considers Tottenham massive favourites to stay up
Ahead of this evening’s fixture, Opta predicted that Spurs have just a 13.35 per cent chance of being relegated this season.
Opta’s Supercomputer now unsurprisingly says that Tottenham’s likelihood of relegation has increased following their draw against Leeds, but not by much.
The data analysis platform now gives the Lilywhites an 18.70 per cent chance (a 5.4 per cent increase) of joining Wolves and Burnley in the Championship next term.
Opta still consider West Ham big favourites for the drop, giving Nuno Espirito Santo’s side an 81.3 per cent chance of going down.
Things could have been worse for Spurs against Leeds
As much as Tottenham will rue the missed chances against Leeds, particularly Richarlison’s miscued volley when he had the chance to put them 2-0 up, things could have turned out even worse for the home side.
If not for a huge save from Antonin Kinsky at the end and a little bit of luck, Tottenham may have ended on the losing side, which would have come as a sickening blow at a time when De Zerbi is trying to build up the players’ confidence.
In fact, Jamie Carragher said that Kinsky’s save to keep out Sean Longstaff’s effort is one of the best of the season so far, and it is hard to argue with that.
We may look back on that save as being the one that kept Tottenham in the Premier League… we hope.
