Tottenham Hotspur’s recent upturn in form has seen them climb both the Premier League power rankings and the global power rankings.

The Lilywhites can finally begin looking up the Premier League table after securing back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

That run of results has seen Spurs climb out of the relegation zone and into 14th place. They now sit four points behind fifth place, which could well be enough for Champions League qualification.

Once tipped by Opta’s AI model to be involved in a relegation battle, Tottenham are now predicted to finish 11th, which would represent a marked improvement on their previous two domestic campaigns.
