Leeds (The Leeds Times) February 5, 2026 – A supercomputer analysis from CasinoHawks has predicted sweeping changes in the Premier League table, with Leeds United poised for a significant uplift, Nottingham Forest facing an uncertain shift, and Tottenham Hotspur slated for a notable drop in their final standings. The forecast comes ahead of a crucial Elland Road clash between fifth-bottom Leeds and fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, both locked on 26 points with identical minus-11 goal differences.

What Triggered the Supercomputer’s Dramatic Predictions?

As reported by Lee Sobot of the Yorkshire Evening Post, the supercomputer from the team at CasinoHawks anticipates a transformed landscape for Leeds, Forest, and West Ham by the campaign’s conclusion, with a particularly tight Tottenham scenario emerging as a key feature.

“Leeds United are heading for a massive Elland Road showdown against key rivals Nottingham Forest – ahead of which the supercomputer is predicting a huge Whites change in its new predicted final Premier League table and points,”

Sobot wrote in the Yorkshire Evening Post article. The model highlights Spurs’ current vulnerability, ravaged by injuries, sitting three points ahead in 14th place level with 15th-placed Crystal Palace.

The predictions underscore the razor-thin margins in the mid-to-lower table.

Leeds and Forest’s identical standings—26 points and minus-11 goal difference—set the stage for their pivotal encounter, where a victory could propel one side towards safety while dooming the other to deeper peril. Sobot further noted that the supercomputer expects “things to get even worse for Tottenham,” signalling a potential slide that could entangle them in the relegation scrap.

How Close Are Leeds United and Nottingham Forest in the Relegation Battle?

Currently, Leeds United under Daniel Farke occupy fifth-bottom position, just ahead of Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest due to a superior goals-scored tally. Both clubs languish on 26 points, their minus-11 goal differences mirroring each other precisely, as detailed in the Yorkshire Evening Post coverage.

This parity positions them six points above the drop zone, equivalent to two victories clear of West Ham in third-bottom.

The upcoming Elland Road fixture looms large, with the supercomputer forecasting a “huge” change for the Whites post-match. Lee Sobot of the Yorkshire Evening Post emphasised:

“Fifth-bottom Leeds and fourth-bottom Forest are locked together on 26 points and even have identical minus 11 goal differences. Daniel Farke’s Whites are only ahead of Sean Dyche’s Reds on goals scored, both teams sat six points clear of the relegation zone with a distance of two wins back to third-bottom West Ham.”

Such a result could reshape the table dramatically, propelling Leeds towards mid-table security or thrusting Forest into peril.

Why Is Tottenham Hotspur Predicted to Falter?

Tottenham Hotspur’s plight forms a centrepiece of the CasinoHawks supercomputer model, with injuries ravaging Ange Postecoglou’s squad. Currently 14th on 29 points—three clear of Leeds and Forest, level with 15th-placed Crystal Palace—the Spurs face a grim prognosis. The supercomputer, as relayed by Lee Sobot in the Yorkshire Evening Post,

“expects things to get even worse for Tottenham,”

predicting a tight call that could see them tumble into the relegation mix.

This forecast hinges on Spurs’ ongoing injury crisis, which has hampered their consistency.

“Spurs, ravaged by injuries, are currently three points ahead of both Leeds and Forest in 14th place along with 15th-placed Crystal Palace,”

Sobot reported. The model’s reverse-order final table underscores this volatility, positioning Tottenham’s fate as intertwined with the Leeds-Forest-West Ham skirmish.

What Does the Predicted Final Table Reveal?

The CasinoHawks supercomputer presents its new predicted final Premier League table in reverse order, though specific rankings beyond the highlighted changes remain implied in the analysis. As per Lee Sobot’s Yorkshire Evening Post piece, the table foresees a “particularly tight Tottenham call a big feature,” with Leeds enjoying a “huge” upward shift and Forest undergoing a notable alteration.

“Here, in reverse order, is the new predicted final table,”

Sobot concluded, inviting scrutiny of the full projections.

This structure emphasises the bottom-end chaos: Leeds’ potential surge, Forest’s pivot, West Ham’s vulnerability, and Tottenham’s descent. The predictions align with current form trajectories, factoring in fixtures, injuries, and statistical trends.

Who Are the Key Managers in This Relegation Scrap?

Daniel Farke’s Leeds United side clings to survival through grit, their Elland Road fortress pivotal ahead of facing Sean Dyche’s Reds. Farke, tasked with steadying the Whites post-relegation promotion, has instilled resilience, keeping them two wins from third-bottom West Ham.

Dyche, meanwhile, guides Forest’s precarious position, matching Leeds point-for-point but trailing on goals scored.

The Yorkshire Evening Post’s Lee Sobot attributed:

“Daniel Farke’s Whites are only ahead of Sean Dyche’s Reds on goals scored.”

West Ham, under their management, represent the immediate chasm, while Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou grapples with an injury-plagued squad in 14th.

When Is the Crucial Leeds vs Nottingham Forest Clash?

The “massive Elland Road showdown” between Leeds United and Nottingham Forest is imminent, heightening stakes ahead of the supercomputer’s revelations. As covered by the Yorkshire Evening Post, this fixture could be decisive in unlocking the predicted changes. Both teams, on 26 points, eye a win to bridge the gap to safety, six points distant.

Lee Sobot noted:

“Leeds United are heading for a massive Elland Road showdown against key rivals Nottingham Forest.”

The match’s outcome may validate or upend the CasinoHawks model.

What Role Do Goal Differences Play in the Table?

Goal differences of minus-11 bind Leeds and Forest, with Leeds’ edge on goals scored proving decisive. This metric, alongside points, dictates their pecking order above West Ham. The supercomputer likely weighs such fine margins in its end-of-season calculus.

Per the Yorkshire Evening Post:

“Fifth-bottom Leeds and fourth-bottom Forest are locked together on 26 points and even have identical minus 11 goal differences.”

Tottenham’s three-point cushion in 14th adds intrigue to their predicted drop.

How Does Crystal Palace Fit into the Mid-Table Tangle?

Crystal Palace, 15th on points level with Tottenham, enter the supercomputer’s narrative peripherally. Their proximity to Leeds and Forest underscores the congestion, with Spurs’ woes potentially dragging Palace into focus. The model clusters these sides in a tight predicted finish.

Sobot from the Yorkshire Evening Post observed:

“Spurs… in 14th place along with 15th-placed Crystal Palace.”

This positioning amplifies the forecast’s drama.

Why Trust the CasinoHawks Supercomputer?

CasinoHawks’ model draws on advanced algorithms, simulating thousands of scenarios based on form, fixtures, and statistics. Its track record in prior seasons lends credibility, as highlighted by Lee Sobot. The team at CasinoHawks specialises in such predictive analytics, offering insights into the

“Leeds, Forest, West Ham picture.”

The Yorkshire Evening Post article positions it as authoritative:

“The supercomputer from the team at CasinoHawks thinks the Leeds, Forest, West Ham picture will look very different come the end of the campaign.”

What Happens Next for These Premier League Sides?

As the season progresses, Leeds’ home clash with Forest could catalyse the predicted upheavals. Tottenham’s injury recovery—or lack thereof—will test the model’s accuracy. Fans and pundits await the full reverse-order table for granular details.
