Tottenham Hotspur's season is three matches old and still awaiting a first win — and a first goal. The FanTribe Data Desk rounds up the table, the fixtures, the odds and the headlines around the club.

Where Spurs stand

According to the Premier League table, Spurs sit 17th of 20 with a single point from nine, earned through one draw and two defeats. They have yet to score, have conceded five, and carry a goal difference of -5 and a form line of D, L, L. Only Aston Villa — level on that solitary point — plus Fulham and Coventry City, the division's two pointless sides, sit lower. At the other end, Manchester City and Arsenal have opened with three straight wins apiece, a reminder of the distance between Spurs and the pacesetters.

How the opening weeks unfolded

  • Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham — a goalless start to the campaign.
  • Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle United — the visitors left with the points.
  • Brentford 3-0 Tottenham — the heaviest of the three afternoons.

Three games in, the numbers are blunt: no goals scored, five conceded, and issues at both ends of the pitch.

What's next

Two home fixtures offer an immediate chance to reset. FanTribe's fixture data lists Everton visiting on Saturday 12 September (17:30 BST), with Spurs at 2.08 to win, the draw at 3.70 and Everton at 3.85. Aston Villa follow on Saturday 19 September (12:30 BST) — Spurs 2.00, the draw 3.75 and Villa 3.60, according to the same data.

The markets make Spurs favourites on both afternoons, though favouritism has yet to translate into results. Everton arrive eighth in the table and Villa 18th, and for a side sitting immediately above the bottom three, this fortnight has the feel of an early fork in the season.

Around the club

Fan sentiment: the FanTribe view

FanTribe's own fan data currently shows one registered fan on the Spurs club page — a community in its infancy and a sample too small to read for mood in either direction. For now, the raw numbers do the talking: one point, no goals, and two home fixtures the odds say Spurs should win. Spurs supporters can join the club page on FanTribe and help build the picture as the season unfolds.
