Tottenham are in a real spot of bother as we approach the final chunk of the season, with no real interruptions remaining after this international break. A shocking defeat at home to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest last time out has left Spurs just one point above the drop zone and with Igor Tudor hanging on for his life.
Spurs are two point behind Nottingham Forest, who have now leapfrogged them, and West Ham below them face bottom club Wolves next time out, which will have Tudor’s men feeling nervous. Here we round up the latest on the relegation picture.
