Tottenham Hotspur are probably in a straight shootout with West Ham United, the relegation-threatened London rivals on either side of the dreaded dotted line with only four games left to play.
Supporters are anxiously waiting for the Lilywhites to play Champions League-chasing Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday. It will be a tough fixture, but Roberto De Zerbi's men have to push for the win after last week's narrow victory over relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers.
West Ham and Nottingham Forest also won, but Tottenham are making a bit of headway, even with so many injuries threatening to consume them and their season and their high-profile status in the Premier League.
Spurs' injury crisis
Tottenham haven't been good enough this season, but their injury crisis has also beggared belief, so many soldiers falling throughout the campaign, ruining a succession of managers' chances.
Even last season, under Ange Postecoglou, fitness problems ravaged Spurs' domestic term, with a Herculean effort out in the Europa League ending a long search for silverware.
Dominic Solanke is the latest to fall - again. The England striker suffered a Grade 2 muscular injury against Wolves and may not feature again this season.
In truth, though, the Londoners' crisis has been startlingly deep throughout the season, forcing youthful line-ups and an absence of coherence that is understandable if not acceptable.
So many problems, and only a smattering of games left to turn it all around. You'd think that Tottenham are running out of trump cards, but they do have one in the form of Gareth Bale who may yet lead them to safety.
Spurs' new Bale could lead them to safety
When you think of Bale, you think of a deadly and dynamic forward who rips defences to shreds, first for Tottenham and then for Real Madrid in Spain, retiring with his name among the pantheon of legendary modern forwards.
You don't think of Antonin Kinsky, Spurs' 23-year-old back-up goalkeeper in 2026.
The 23-year-old, who arrived from Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic last year, has emerged as one of Tottenham's most important players in recent weeks. Against Wolves, he was top. Guglielmo Vicario is out of sorts and injured, and Kinsky is thriving as he fights tooth and nail to protect the Lilywhites from relegation.
Yes, he could have crumbled after a disastrous display against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, but Kinsky's mental fortitude and willingness to accept responsibility and make a difference for his side is something that many players would have failed to equip themselves with in the current situation.
This offers shades of when Bale arrived in London after a promising career beginning with Southampton, a left-back who came to be regarded as a jinx, for Tottenham never won when he started and injuries hampered his development.
That second spell wasn't so auspicious for the Welsh legend, but he still enjoyed prolific returns for his old outfit, before heading back to Madrid.
Kinsky's future is likely to go in a different direction, but he does now look like he's in a strong position to nail down a position at Spurs' No. 1, with Vicario well out of sorts and actually could be set for departure already, with Inter Milan having won the race for the 29-year-old goalkeeper, according to TEAMtalk.
However, he's now emerging as the main man in this struggling Tottenham team, and while the circumstances are different, with Bale driving a high-flying outfit before his record-breaking move to La Liga.
Kinsky isn't likely to start scoring bullet headers and rifled efforts from range any time soon, but he is emerging as an unlikely talismanic force after a tough start to his Tottenham career. It looked like he was "broken" under Tudor, according to journalist George Sessions, but Kinsky has bounced right back.
In that, he is emulating Bale, and if he helps his side fight off relegation, he could go on to become an icon for his club.
