Tottenham Hotspur solid to the last match played, dashed for the forecast. Rivals are dotted throughout, with a dot on their last match played. The white lines are the ones a season is played against – the title, the Champions League places, Europe, and the drop.

Real results so far plus a called outcome for every match still to play, recalculated as results come in. Drawn beside them are the clubs they are actually racing: their usual rivals, and whoever this season has put them in the same fight with. Point at any gameweek for every club's position and points.

The key stat: XI defensive record. This is the widest gap between them. It goes to Tottenham Hotspur: 1.27 to 1.33. In matches like this, whoever fielded the more solid defence usually wins – about 74% of the time. The measures below it were chosen the same way.

Against the call – it favours Tottenham Hotspur; Leeds United are tipped because they lead on home advantage, the long-run strength gap and changes in the other camp.

The key stat: XI defensive record. Of everything on this page, this is the biggest difference. Tottenham Hotspur come out on top, 1.27 against 1.76. Historically, the side with the steadier back line takes these roughly 74% of the time. Those underneath were selected on the same basis.

The whole season

All 38 of Tottenham Hotspur's league matches, what we said would happen, and – where it has been played – what actually did. We have called 3 of 3 of their decided matches so far; 3 were draws, which nobody scores. Rows marked projected are today's model looking ahead: they move every time the season is re-projected, so they are not frozen and are never graded. Everything else is the call we published before kick-off.
