Tottenham are in huge danger of being relegated while preparing for a Champions League knockout clash.<\/p>\n
From the absurd to the sublime, Tottenham<\/a> are 16th in the Premier League, and just one point above the relegation zone, and are gearing up for a double-header with Atletico Madrid after waltzing into the last-16 of the Champions League.<\/p>\n Off the back of their 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace on Thursday, in a game where Micky van de Ven<\/a> was sent off for a foolish red card, Igor Tudor<\/a>\u2018s side set some unwanted records.<\/p>\n Tottenham have now failed to win 11 successive Premier League games for the first time since October 1975, and it\u2019s also the first time they have lost five consecutive league matches since November 2004 (when they lost six on the bounce).<\/p>\n In the wake of a galling night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium<\/a>, where thousands of Spurs fans left before half-time, the north London team will hope to recapture their European swagger away to Atletico in the first leg of their last-16 clash on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Tottenham\u2019s contrasting fortunes in England and Europe<\/p>\n Amid a backdrop of sliding towards the Premier League\u2019s bottom three, Tottenham managed to finish fourth in the league phase of this season\u2019s Champions League.<\/p>\n Under former boss Thomas Frank, Tottenham won five, drew two and lost just one of their eight games, with only Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Liverpool posting a better points haul.<\/p>\n They finished above the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, but they haven\u2019t won in the Premier League since 28 December.<\/p>\n Indeed, if you include their run to the Europa League title last season, Tottenham have won 12 of their 17 European games, which is in stark contrast to their league form.<\/p>\n Tottenham have won more times in their last 17 European matches than in their previous 48 domestic games \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n Spurs in Europe: 12 wins in last 17 \u2705 \u2014 Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) March 6, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n There have been so many soul-destroying statistics for Spurs fans in recent weeks but the fact that non-league Macclesfield have beaten more Premier League sides (Crystal Palace in the FA Cup) than them in 2026 may take the biscuit. <\/p>\n Moreover, only bottom of the table Wolves (20) have lost more home league games than Tottenham (19) since the start of last season. <\/p>\n Things aren\u2019t quite as bad as they were in 1935, when Tottenham went 15 games without a win to begin a calendar year but they currently aren\u2019t far off with 11. <\/p>\n Tottenham will hope Tudor gets his first win in charge when they travel to Diego Simeone\u2019s team, before travelling to Liverpool in the league on 15 March.<\/p>\n Tottenham\u2019s sole shining light in relegation fight<\/p>\n Tottenham have spent hundreds of millions over the years assembling this squad but right now, they are the worst team in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Sought-after players such as captain Cristian Romero and centre-back partner Van de Ven have made kamikaze mistakes at the back, which has both led to suspensions.<\/p>\n In a relegation fight, you need your experienced players to lead the way but so far, the one player who looks ready for this battle is 19-year-old Archie Gray. <\/p>\n There were very few positives from the Palace game but the former Leeds United star was one of them.<\/p>\n He assisted Tottenham\u2019s only goal and registered an impressive 19 carries.<\/p>\n The England Under-21 international has shown over the past 18 months or so that he can play in midfield, at centre-back or at full-back.<\/p>\n Even though being in the centre of the park is his best position, Gray doesn\u2019t complain, he just gets on with it and does his best for Tottenham.<\/p>\n Players such as Pedro Porro, who clashed with Tudor when he was substituted in the second half against Palace, Van de Ven and Romero could maybe learn a thing or two from Gray at this time.<\/p>\n But he can\u2019t do this all on his own. He needs help from his teammates and fast.<\/p>\n For more news and analysis on Tottenham, follow Football Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n
