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.
However, following Spurs’ recent 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the Lilywhites’ standing in the Premier League power rankings has also improved.
This is according to Opta, who track every club’s ranking in the English top flight. Their latest update has seen Spurs move up six places from their previous position.
Tottenham have now risen from 23rd to 17th following the latest round of fixtures, with Spurs being handed a team rating of 92.3%.
