Tottenham Hotspur are edging dangerously close to overtaking Arsenal in an unwanted record, as Thomas Frank’s side continues to struggle on home soil.
Tottenham Hotspur’s poor home record has been a topic of discussion this season, with Thomas Frank’s side struggling to pick up wins at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
At the moment, Spurs have managed just one win on home soil, collecting four points from a possible 15.
It is not only the lack of victories that has raised concern, but also the style of play, which has left many supporters frustrated.
Tottenham have averaged just a goal per home game this season, scoring five times at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium while conceding five.
Tottenham closing in on Arsenal record at home
With their poor run continuing, one that stretches far beyond this season, statistics now show that Tottenham are closing in on one of Arsenal’s unwanted records.
It is understood that Spurs’ weekend slip-up against London rivals Chelsea was their 41st Premier League defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium from 124 matches, with 13 draws and 70 wins.
MORE SPURS STORIES
In comparison, the Gunners have only lost seven more, despite being residents at the Emirates Stadium for 13 additional years.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have been at their new home for only six years following their move from White Hart Lane in 2019.
The Gunners’ Premier League home record at the Emirates stands at 241 wins, 77 draws, and 48 defeats from 366 matches, with Spurs seven home defeats away from matching their home record, and eight from surpassing it.
Thomas Frank determined to improve Spurs’ home form
Thomas Frank is very much aware of this worrying home record and has stated that it is something he is actively working to fix.
However, it has yet to improve, but Tottenham will be looking to turn a new leaf when they face Copenhagen in the Champions League and Manchester United in the Premier League in what will be back-to-back home fixtures.
Should they secure victories in those outings, it would represent a step in the right direction for Frank’s men, who will then gear up for away trips to London rivals Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in their subsequent games.
