Tottenham fight losing battle as Jamie Redknapp shares dressing room ‘shockwaves’
Tottenham Hotspur have been hit by yet another blow in the relegation battle.
The Lilywhites are looking ahead to their next Premier League clash against Wolves with the hope of picking up a massive three points on Saturday.
Roberto De Zerbi is yet to secure a win since taking charge of the North London club earlier in April.
He might not get a better chance than against the already relegated outfit as his Spurs side prepares for a trip to Molineux.
Tottenham will face Wolves on Saturday, but already face an uphill battle after Nottingham Forest’s win on Friday night.

Nottingham Forest blow Jamie Redknapp away vs Sunderland
The N17 outfit need someone to do them a favour if they are to avoid the drop, but the East Midlands side certainly didn’t do that.
Forest travelled to face Sunderland and smashed five goals past Robin Roefs to seal a massive win and three points.
Vitor Periera’s side created three big chances and still managed to score five as they sealed a massive win with just 39 per cent possession.
That is the complete opposite of what Spurs needed in their efforts to avoid the drop, especially with a clash with Wolves looming.
Former Lilywhites ace Jamie Redknapp couldn’t believe the result, but suggested that the impact will be felt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “I don’t think anyone expected that result tonight. I thought before the game that a point would be a good result.
“To go there and completely turn the goal difference in your favour and get three points in the manner they did will send shockwaves through West Ham and Tottenham fanbase, players and the managers.”
Tottenham now have to do their own work against Wolves and make sure that the Forest result doesn’t impact them as expected.
Tottenham can’t repeat April 2025 performance vs Wolves
The pressure is on the N17 side to now put in a performance and prove the world wrong away in the West Midlands
That is entirely possible as long as they don’t perform as they did almost exactly 12 months ago to the day at Molineux.
Tottenham lost 4-2 away in the Black Country a year ago, as goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison were ultimately cancelled out.
That result came despite Spurs having 63 per cent possession and completing 222 passes more than the Old Gold on the day.
Wolves still managed to rack up 2.39 expected goals with 13 shots, while they created two more big chances than the Lilywhites.
That needs to be used as inspiration to prove a point to Nottingham Forest and anyone who is writing Tottenham off.
