The prospect of Tottenham fighting to avoid relegation was unimaginable when the season began, but this is now the reality. The North London club is experiencing its worst season in history. From being Europa League champions and participating in the Champions League knockout stages this season, the London side is now in freefall. It is astonishing that a club with the ninth-highest revenue in Europe last season, possessing London's most modern stadium and a top English facility, is now threatened with leaving the Premier League. Currently, this scenario is no longer a vague possibility.
Tottenham appears to have lost its fighting spirit. Beyond the lack of squad depth and fluctuating performance, the most distressing aspect for Tottenham at this moment is that its stars no longer show enthusiasm for playing, even among those considered key players. The previous UEFA Europa League champions have failed to win in their last 13 Premier League matches (5 draws, 8 losses), matching the second-longest unbeaten streak in the club's history (13 matches in November 1912). The record of 16 matches without a win from 1935 could very well be broken.
For teams battling relegation, they typically rely on home advantage to secure points. However, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has become a "death ground" for the Spurs. Under coach Igor Tudor, the team has the worst home record in the league, winning only 2 of their last 16 matches. They have managed just 10 points at their own stadium. The loss to Nottingham Forest in the "reverse final" also marks their fourth consecutive home defeat, extending an 8-match streak without a win here.
Losing to a team also struggling to avoid relegation and having changed four managers this season, like Nottingham Forest, is the clearest evidence of Spurs' decline. That defeat pushed coach Igor Tudor's team down to 17th place, just one point above West Ham, who are in the relegation zone.

Spurs have not won any Premier League match in 2026. Since their 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace on December 28, 2025, the Spurs have not tasted victory. After 31 rounds, Tottenham has only accumulated 30 points.
The remaining 7 matches of the season will be like 7 "final matches" for the Spurs in their relegation battle. They must travel to Sunderland, Wolves, Aston Villa, Chelsea and host Brighton, Leeds, Everton. To stay in the Premier League amid the league's intense competitiveness, Tottenham must rediscover victory, but few can confidently say they will achieve this.
The final two months of the season are predicted to be an extremely brutal schedule for Tottenham. And Spurs' position in the Premier League is seriously threatened.
