History. 6 of 13 bottom clubs after five games went down.
Hunch. Tottenham spent more than £380m on new players this summer and the owners put in £120m more in September (The Independent, 1 Oct).
Resolves on the final Premier League table on premierleague.com after the last round on 30 May 2027: YES if Tottenham finish 18th, 19th or 20th, NO if 17th or higher. If the last round moves or points are taken away, the final published table decides, with BBC Sport and The Guardian as the backup.
We looked for cases where a Premier League club was bottom of the table after about five games without a win. The BBC has named the bottom club after five games for every season since 2013-14, and for 2008-09. We found 13 such seasons, and in six of them the bottom club went down. The ten most recent are below. (BBC Sport)
