The key stat: XI defensive record. No other measure separates them as clearly. It goes to Tottenham Hotspur: 1.34 to 1.48. the side with the steadier back line normally comes out on top here – 73% of the time in recent seasons. The measures below it were chosen the same way.

Against the call – it favours Tottenham Hotspur; the fine margin sits with Everton, who edge the long-run strength gap, recent shots on target and changes in the other camp.
