Supercomputer predicts where Tottenham will finish after 1-1 draw at Old Trafford

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur have climbed the Opta Supercomputer’s predicted Premier League table after emerging with a 1-1 draw from Old Trafford.Dominic Solanke’s late equaliser against Man Utd after Tottenham were reduced to 10 men was hugely significant, as it ensured that the Lilywhites do not spend an additional nine days at the bottom of the table.Spurs have risen to 18th in the standings following the 1-1 draw, above both Fulham and Coventry City, and the good news for Roberto De Zerbi’s side is that the Sky Blues are their next opponents on Monday, October 19.

Why not? But to do what Villa did, we have to click.“I think [that first victory could be transformative], but I think the first win is not a gift from God. You have to deserve to win, and we didn’t deserve to win so far.”READ MORE: ‘Traitor’ Sol Campbell just got mugged off by a Tottenham fan during a charity matchThe post Supercomputer predicts where Tottenham will finish after 1-1 draw at Old Trafford appeared first on Spurs Web.
