Bad news for Spurs fans as Chelsea to pick up three points this weekend, Bing predicts

Tottenham’s hopes of winning the Premier League title could be quashed this weekend, Bing has predicted.

Spurs snatched a late victory against Swansea on Wednesday night to remain seven points behind leaders Chelsea, who beat Manchester City.

However, Tottenham fans hoping for a Chelsea defeat this weekend are likely to be disappointed. The Blues are heavily expected to beat Bournemouth, maintaining the gap between themselves and their London rivals – assuming Mauricio Pochettino’s men also pick up their expected three points against Watford.

Spurs are also expected to face pressure from beneath them too, with third-placed Liverpool set to pick up three points against Stoke at Anfield, with a 55% chance of a win.

Manchester United and Arsenal will remain outside the top four despite their predicted wins against Sunderland and Crystal Palace respectively, while Manchester City look set to cement their fourth-place spot with an expected comfortable win against Hull.

Middlesbrough and Sunderland – both of whom share the relegation zone with Hull – are expected to emerge from the weekend empty handed, after their predicted losses against Burnley and Manchester United.

West Ham and Burnley are the only two teams predicted to climb up the table. West Ham are likely to jump up to 14th place after beating Swansea City, while Burnley will be rewarded with a jump from 14th to 9th place.

Bing created its predictions using a complex algorithm that analyses player performance.
