What the model makes of them
The model rates Tottenham Hotspur's attack 15th of 20 and its defence 17th: against an average opponent it projects 1.12 goals scored and 1.14 conceded.
Across the next 8 fixtures the kindest is Coventry City in gameweek 7 (home), where the model has them +0.72 goals better off; the hardest is Chelsea in gameweek 8 at -0.73.
Taken as a run rather than a fixture at a time, that schedule ranks 13th of 20 in the league for attacking upside over the same window.
