Tottenham Hotspur's chances of relegation have been calculated by Opta following the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as head coach. The Italian takes over with just seven games remaining, starting with a trip to Sunderland on 12 April.
Spurs sit one point above 17th-placed West Ham after a defeat to Nottingham Forest in what proved to be interim manager Igor Tudor's final match. Opta's supercomputer gives Tottenham a 27.47 per cent chance of dropping into the Championship.
West Ham are considered more likely to go down, with a 59.94 per cent chance, while Wolves and Burnley are almost certain to be relegated at 99.94 and 99.90 per cent respectively. Nottingham Forest have an 8.48 per cent chance of relegation and Leeds 7.20 per cent.
De Zerbi's run-in includes visits to Aston Villa and Chelsea, plus a home match against his former club Brighton. Key fixtures against Wolves and Leeds are viewed as must-win for Spurs to survive.
