Supercomputer predicts Tottenham's fate in the relegation battle.

(NLĐO) - Tottenham still holds its destiny in its own hands in the relegation battle despite losing 1-2 to Chelsea in the penultimate round of the Premier League on May 20.

Roberto De Zerbi's team disappointed by losing to Chelsea in the London derby in round 37, thus failing to secure their survival in the league early.

Midfielder Enzo Fernandez broke the deadlock in the 18th minute, then assisted Andrey Santos to make it 2-0 in the 67th minute.

Tottenham's efforts were only rewarded with an equalizer thanks to Richarlison's goal in the 74th minute.

Despite the defeat, Tottenham are still two points ahead of their direct rivals West Ham and have a superior goal difference (-9 compared to -22).

Leeuwslots' supercomputer predicts Tottenham will avoid relegation by beating Everton 2-1, while Hammers will be relegated to the Championship after losing 1-2 to Leeds United in the final round of matches, both taking place simultaneously at 10 PM on May 24th.

Given the current situation, even if West Ham beat Leeds and Tottenham draw with Everton, both teams would still have 39 points. However, Spurs would almost certainly avoid relegation thanks to a better goal difference than West Ham, which is 12 goals ahead of the final round.

"Tottenham only need a draw against Everton to almost certainly secure their survival in the Premier League," - Leeuwslots' supercomputer predicts.

Despite the fact that Tottenham's chances of avoiding relegation are very high, manager Roberto De Zerbi, speaking after the defeat to Chelsea, still expressed caution, likening the upcoming match against Everton to a "final" for Tottenham.

The Italian manager emphasized that the relegation battle is more important than a title, because it involves the pride, history, and dignity of the club.

Tottenham haven't been relegated from the top flight of English football since 1977. Therefore, a single slip-up in the final round could turn this season into a historic disaster for the North London club.
