Mourinho may be coming to this season’s Premier League party late, but he still has two thirds of the season left to make his mark. Nobody doubts that he will at least generate talking points galore. Spurs start the Special One’s North London jaunt over in the East End, away at West Ham. The bookmaker odds-implied probabilities make Spurs strong favourites with a 53% chance of a win. The Model however has this one far more even, with just a 36% chance of a spurs win, and with West Ham actually as marginal favourites. The most likely outcome of the match is 1-1 (12%).
