Tottenham’s downward trend may have started with the lack of spending that accompanied the stadium move and Mauricio Pochettino’s sacking after the Champions League final in 2019. The club has struggled significantly in recent times, taking just 34 points from their last 40 Premier League games. This season has been particularly grim, with Spurs failing to win 13 successive league games for the first time since 1935.
Currently, Tottenham has only managed two home wins in the Premier League this season, placing them in a precarious position. Only relegated Championship side Sheffield Wednesday has a worse home record than Spurs this season. The team has not won a game in 2026, and with only one point earned from their last 21 available, the situation appears dire.
As the season progresses, the pressure mounts. Observers suggest that Spurs will likely need between 36 and 38 points to avoid relegation, with Opta giving them a 26.41% chance of going down. In contrast, West Ham is rated as more likely to be relegated than not, at 57.85%.
In terms of discipline, Spurs have received four red cards this season, more than all but Chelsea. This lack of control on the pitch has compounded their struggles, leading to a dismal performance that has fans and analysts alike concerned.
Amidst this turmoil, speculation about managerial changes is rampant. Roberto De Zerbi has emerged as Tottenham’s prime target to replace Igor Tudor. The club’s leadership is keen to make a permanent appointment, and insiders suggest that they want it to be De Zerbi.
Mauricio Pochettino, who has a deep connection with Tottenham, expressed his feelings about the club, stating, “With my connection to Tottenham, it’s impossible to feel nothing about Tottenham, about the club, the people that work there, and about the fans. That was one of the best experiences of my life.” He also hinted at the possibility of a return, saying, “Never, say never.” This has left fans hopeful yet uncertain about his future with the team.
As the season unfolds, the exact impact of injuries on Spurs’ performance remains unclear. Details remain unconfirmed. The club’s management faces a challenging task ahead, as they navigate through a season that has been marked by disappointment and uncertainty.
With the looming threat of relegation and the potential for managerial changes, Tottenham Spurs find themselves at a crossroads. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining their fate in the Premier League.
