There is a prospect that Tottenham, where Son Heung-min left, will have a disaster.
Tottenham escaped from the 'winning drought' with Son Heung-min in the 2024-2025 season. He reached the top of the Europa League (UEL). It was the first time in 17 years since the top of the league cup in the 2007-2008 season. The European tournament was the first championship in 41 years since the 1983-1984 season.
However, he had his worst season in the English Premier League. It remained in 17th place, the remaining Maginot Line. This is the decisive reason why coach Enze Postecoglou left Tottenham even after winning the championship.
Tottenham faced a major change in the 2025-2026 season. Thomas Frank, who led Brentford, has been appointed as the new head coach. Son Heung-min, who has been protecting Tottenham for 10 years, moved to LA FC in Major Lees Soccer (MLS) on the 7th (Korea time) after presenting the trophy.
Mohammed Qudus and João Palinha are new additions. However, there is no card to replace Son yet. The new season's EPL will open on the 16th.
Soccer statistics media 'OPTA' released the forecast rankings for the upcoming EPL 2025-2026 season on the 6th. The ranking was calculated through 10,000 simulations of the supercomputer.

Tottenham were expected to take 14th place. The probability of winning the championship was 0.3%, and the probability of reaching the semi-finals was only 4.1%. It was more likely to be relegated. The probability of being ranked 18th was 5.8%.
'The Sun' converted 'OPTA' data into points. Tottenham's expected points were 48 points. Brentford, Frank's former team, was ranked 10th, higher than Tottenham.
The team with the highest probability of winning was Liverpool, which won the EPL last year. There is a 28.5 percent chance of a setback in the first place. Arsenal, who are in second place for many years, are expected to be in second place again. The probability of winning is 24.3 percent.
Arsenal held Victor Jockeres, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Neurgor, Martin Subimendi and Noni Madueke in their arms. However, his expected performance did not exceed Liverpool. The Sun predicted that the difference between the two teams would be close with just one point. Liverpool have 73 points and Arsenal 72 points.
