Tottenham: Supercomputer makes new Premier League relegation prediction after draw vs Liverpool
Tottenham are being backed to avoid relegation from the Premier League by Opta after their 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
Richarlison rescued a late point for Spurs at Anfield on Sunday as his 90th-minute strike cancelled out Dominik Szoboszlai’s first-half free-kick.
Elsewhere, Leeds held Crystal Palace to a 0-0 draw as Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a penalty, while Nottingham Forest also played out a goalless draw with Fulham on home turf.
West Ham have remained in the Premier League’s bottom three despite earning a point against title-chasing Man City on Saturday.
Tottenham’s next league match comes against Forest in a huge relegation six-pointer, but Opta believe they will have enough this season to avoid the drop.

West Ham predicted to be relegated over Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Leeds
Tottenham have stayed out of the relegation zone by one point after their draw at Anfield, and Opta have now given them a 13.18 per cent chance of playing Championship football next season.
They are expected to hit the all-important 40-point mark in their final eight games, while Leeds are also predicted to have enough and finish one place above them on 42 points, with a 6.45 per cent chance of being relegated right now.
That leaves Forest and West Ham, and it is the latter who Opta currently believe will join Burnley and Wolves in the second tier next season.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have been given a 46.57 per cent chance of being relegated in May, compared to Forest’s 34.05 per cent.
Burnley and Wolves are both cut well adrift in 19th and 20th, and they have each been given respective 99.65 and 99.93 per cent chances of being relegated too.
Igor Tudor may see out the season as Sean Dyche appointment deemed unlikely
Tudor earned his first point as interim Tottenham manager on Sunday, and such a result against the champions could mean his job is safe for the remainder of the campaign.
They look set to crash out of the Champions League after a 5-2 thrashing from Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their round of 16 tie, and are still firmly in a relegation battle ahead of key games against Forest, Sunderland and Brighton.
Sources have told Football Insider that Dyche does not want the Spurs job, and it frankly seems unlikely that any suitable replacement would step into the role this late in the campaign.
Tudor’s side showed the fight and desire at Anfield that had been lacking since he took charge, and he should be confident that he can be the man to lead Tottenham out of danger in the remaining eight games of the season.
