Tottenham Hotspur Roundup: Winless Spurs Still Waiting for a First Goal
Four matches into the season, Tottenham Hotspur sit 17th with two points, no wins and no goals — yet bookmakers make them favourites for the visit of fellow winless Aston Villa on 19 September.
State of play
Four matches into the new Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur sit 17th in the table. According to the Premier League table, Spurs have collected two points from four outings — two draws and two defeats — with no goals scored and five conceded, leaving a goal difference of -5.
The form line reads DDLL, with the table showing back-to-back defeats. While Arsenal and Manchester City set the early pace on 12 points apiece, only Fulham, Aston Villa and pointless Coventry City sit below Spurs in the standings.
Results so far
- Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 Everton
- Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur
- Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Newcastle United
The table confirms the wider picture: two defeats and five goals conceded across the opening four rounds.
Top scorers
There is no scoring chart to speak of. Per the Premier League table, no Tottenham player has found the net in the league this season, making Spurs one of only two clubs in the division without a goal, alongside bottom club Coventry City.
Next up: Aston Villa at home
Spurs host Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 19 September in a meeting of two winless sides — Villa are 19th with one point, one goal scored and seven conceded, according to the table. Both teams also arrive on runs of two straight defeats, per the table's form data.
Even so, the market favours the home team. The latest bookmaker odds via api_football, recorded on 14 September, price Tottenham at 2, the draw at 3.6 and Villa at 3.68 — a bookmaker-derived probability of 48% for a Spurs win, with 26% apiece for the draw and an away victory.
FanTribe's points on offer follow the same shape: 40 points for a correct call on Tottenham, 72 for the draw and 74 for a Villa win.
October: Manchester United away
Tottenham then travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on 10 October. United are 13th with four points and a form line of LDWL, and the market makes them favourites: 1.62 for the home win, 4.3 the draw and 4.75 a Spurs victory, translating to bookmaker-derived probabilities of 58%, 22% and 20% respectively.
Spurs are therefore the outsiders in the market's view, and FanTribe's points reflect it — 32 for a United win, 86 for the draw and 95 for anyone backing Tottenham in Manchester.
The fan view
FanTribe's own fan data lists a single follower on the Tottenham club page at the time of writing — early days on the platform, and the opening four rounds have given prospective fans little to celebrate. A first win, and a first goal, would be a start.
