Roy Keane is not falling for Tottenham Hotspur being ‘too good’ to be relegated this season as he has shared his prediction for the remainder of the season.
Igor Tudor could not have asked for a more difficult start at the weekend with a North London Derby that only showcased the issues in N17.
Heading into this weekend’s game away to Fulham, Tottenham are sitting just four points above 18th-placed West Ham United.
Only 11 games remain for Tudor to get a tune out of his new side, with relegation to the Championship becoming a real possibility at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
How many points will Tottenham take from their next four Premier League matches?
Having watched Spurs in action on Sunday, Keane has admitted the narrative of Spurs being too big to go down cannot be fallen for anymore.
Roy Keane says Tottenham aren’t too big to be relegated anymore
Spurs remain without a win in the Premier League in 2026, with Paul Scholes suggesting Tottenham should have appointed Sam Allardyce.
These are becoming desperate times for the Lilywhites, but Keane does believe that Spurs will find it in them to survive the drop.

“It was a tough first start for him. I still think they’ll be ok, but I’m not falling for them being too good to go down,” Keane said on the Stick to Football podcast.
“I do think they’ll find a bit more than Forest and West Ham. It’s as simple as that.”
Wayne Rooney is also convinced Tottenham will avoid relegation, but it is damning for Spurs to even find themselves in the conversation.
Although Tottenham finished 17th last season, the Lilywhites were never really at that big of a threat of being relegated.
This season is a completely different story.
Tottenham could quickly ease the pressure
Having not won a league game this year, it will certainly be easier said than done, but putting two wins together against Fulham and Crystal Palace over the next week really could pull Spurs out of trouble.
Nicky Butt has urged Tudor to get his players all on side for what could become a real relegation scrap over the coming weeks.
YES or NO: Will Tottenham be relegated this season? 👀
It is games at Craven Cottage and against Palace that Spurs simply have to be eyeing as three points from each game.
With some big games against Liverpool, Chelsea and Aston Villa coming up, Tottenham are going to need to put points on the board where they can.
