Every game from here on in is must-win for Tottenham Hotspur. Such is the perilous position they find themselves in.
For the first time in 17 years Spurs are in the relegation zone in the Premier League in a league table outside of the first three games of the season.
The threat of a first relegation since 1977 is very real.
Roberto De Zerbi was brought in early to save the club from relegation, after a disastrous caretaker spell in charge by Igor Tudor. But the Italian's first game in charge did not go to plan, with Tottenham losing 1-0 to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Spurs Can Move Out Of The Relegation Zone
Next up is De Zerbi's first home game in charge, with the club calling for all supporters to turn up in white on Saturday as they take on De Zerbi's former club Brighton & Hove Albion.
Spurs can climb out of the drop zone, because West Ham do not play until Monday night, but that will require them to do something they have not done in 111 days - win a game of Premier League football.
De Zerbi made some interesting choices in his first starting XI against the Black Cats and it is crucial that he makes the right decisions when it comes to the starting lineup this time around.
First of all we know who is going to play in goal. De Zerbi confirmed Guglielmo Vicario is not ready to return after his hernia surgery, so Antonin Kinsky will be between the sticks.
Ahead of him there's not Cristian Romero, so you'd expect Kevin Danso to fill in alongside Micky van de Ven. the two full-backs did ok against Sunderland, so he should go with Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie again.
Ahead of them is where it gets interesting.
Archie Gray has been the standout Spurs performer in a diabolical season, so he starts in the two in midfield - Spurs just need to use his this week after he only touched the ball 23 times last week.
Alongside him I think Yves Bissouma should play. None of the others fill me with much confidence and as much as I want to see Lucas Bergvall in there, I think the experiment with him in the No.10 role last week may see De Zerbi leave him out completely this week.
Bissouma can be guilty of giving the ball away, but he does take more risks in possession and De Zerbi wants, and will need, that.
The Forward Line Has To Change
In the three behind the striker there are two nailed on starters. Xavi Simons and Mathys Tel just have to be in the lineup.
Simons has been criminally underused it's incredible, given what he can offer the team, and Tel showed once again, in a more limited amount of time, the urgency and forward drive that this Spurs team needs.
On the right I'm predicting a rogue choice - Djed Spence to be pushed further forward as he has been once or twice due to injuries this season. With him and Porro there are two options for both going forward and defensive duties.
It could be a toss of a coin up front, but Dominic Solanke is likely to get the nod ahead of Richarlison, who could be a threat from the bench.
