Tottenham swung into action on Tuesday, November 2, to name Conte their new boss following the departure of Nuno Espirito Santo who was sacked.

Nuno was shown the door after Spurs were thrashed 3-0 by Man United last weekend.

The result left the north London club sitting eighth on the log after five wins from 10 matches.

However, according to the betting firm Sporting Index's football experts, the arrival of the experienced Italian boss will not have an immediate impact on Tottenham, predicting the side will only manage 58 points - their lowest tally in 13 years.

Sporting Index forecasts Conte's wards will be the fourth-best team from London, with Chelsea, West Ham and Arsenal all finishing ahead of them.

In the title race, Chelsea have been given no chance of lifting the domestic crown, with the supercomputer tipping them to fall short come May 2022.

Man City have instead been backed to retain the title, with the Blues, who currently lead the log finishing a point behind them.

Liverpool have been predicted to finish third, with Man United who have been agonizingly underwhelming completing the top four slots.

The Gunners have been backed to finish fifth with 62 points, missing out on a Champions League slot once again.

Despite their recent takeover, Newcastle are set for relegation according to Sporting Index alongside Watford and Norwich.
