It has been a trying season for Tottenham fans but after seeing their side concede a late equaliser at home to Brighton , they can at least taken some comfort from West Ham 's failure to take full advantage at Crystal Palace .

The Hammers' draw at Selhurst Park means it is essentially 'as you were' with Spurs still two points from safety as they fight to avoid a first top-flight relegation since 1977. "It will go all the way, for sure. Not only at the bottom of the table but at the top," West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo told Match of the Day.

"This season has been very tight. We don't make points, we play games. We have a mission ahead and keep going.

But for all De Zerbi's faith in his players' capabilities, the evidence of this season does not suggest a team capable of winning five on the bounce. Spurs have not won any of their past 15 league game, meaning they are without a top-flight victory in 2026 and have managed only two since 26 October. They must beat bottom side Wolves on Saturday to avoid equalling the club's worst-ever winless league run - set some 91 years ago, between 1934 and 1935.

By contrast, the form of Spurs' relegation rivals has been picking up. Leeds have won back-to-back games to move to the brink of safety, Nottingham Forest have two wins in their past three games and are unbeaten in five and West Ham have won two of their past five. Zoom out a little further and the Hammers have taken 19 points from their past 12 games, Forest have 18 from their past 13 and for Leeds it's 18 from 14.

Since beating Crystal Palace on 28 December, Spurs have taken six points from 15 matches.
