The Lilywhites' non-penalty xG total is n under the Dane is a damning figure which is only beaten by three other PL teams.

Given that two of those are languishing in the relegation zone, things do not look particularly promising for Frank's ailing reign at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

24 and a half games into the 2025-26 Premier League season, Tottenham have a non-penalty xG total of 24.1. Only Burnley (18.4), Sunderland (18.5) and Wolves (19.6) have generated a lower xG from non-penalty shots in the Premier League this season.
