Tottenham Spurs are in a downward spiral, having taken just 34 points from their last 40 Premier League games. The club is experiencing its worst run since 1935, failing to win 13 successive league matches. This alarming trend is compounded by the fact that Spurs have only two home wins this season, placing them second to last in home performance, just ahead of relegated Sheffield Wednesday.
As the team struggles, they have not won a game in 2026, earning only one point from their last 21 available. Their dismal performance has raised serious concerns about relegation, with estimates suggesting they may need between 36 and 38 points to survive this season. Opta currently gives Spurs a 26.41% chance of going down.
In light of these challenges, Tottenham is reportedly targeting Roberto De Zerbi to replace Igor Tudor as manager. The club’s leadership is keen on making a permanent appointment that can turn the tide. Mauricio Pochettino, a former Spurs manager, expressed his emotional connection to 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.” He added, “Never, say never.” This indicates a potential interest in returning, although his focus is currently on the World Cup.
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s disciplinary issues have also come into play, as they have received four red cards this season, more than all but Chelsea. This lack of discipline has contributed to their struggles on the pitch.
As the season progresses, observers are left wondering what the future holds for Spurs. The exact impact of injuries on their performance remains unclear, and the uncertainty surrounding Pochettino’s future adds to the tension. Details remain unconfirmed.
With relegation fears looming, Tottenham must act quickly to reverse their fortunes. The upcoming matches will be crucial as they seek to regain their footing in the Premier League.
