Tottenham Hotspur host Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday evening in what has become a season-defining fixture — not just for three points, but for pride. With zero Premier League wins in 2026 across 14 attempts, Spurs stand on the precipice of one of the club’s most embarrassing stretches in the modern era.
Spurs’ alarming winless run — the numbers
Since the calendar flipped to 2026, Tottenham have played 14 Premier League matches and won none of them. Their 2026 record reads as a grim collection of draws and defeats, with the most recent result being a 1–0 loss away at newly promoted Sunderland just six days ago. The rot spans games against clubs at both ends of the table — there has been no discrimination in the suffering.
The most damaging 2026 results include a 4–1 derby humiliation at home to Arsenal in February, a 3–0 thrashing by Crystal Palace in March, and a chastening 3–0 defeat to Nottingham Forest — a side battling relegation. The draws, meanwhile, have offered little comfort: consecutive 2–2 draws against Burnley and Manchester City feel a long time ago.
Where do Spurs sit in the table?
The standings make for uncomfortable reading for anyone at N17. Tottenham are 18th, five points above rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers and just three clear of Burnley in 19th. With seven games remaining, the threat of relegation — unthinkable for most of the season — has become a very live concern.
Can Tottenham avoid relegation?
With 30 points from 31 games, Tottenham would likely need somewhere between 36 and 39 points to be mathematically safe. That means three wins from their remaining seven fixtures is a realistic minimum target — but this is a club that has not registered a single win since December 2025. History and form suggest the crisis will deepen before it improves.
The mood around the club is bleak. Fan protests, managerial questions, and a squad that visibly lacks confidence have all contributed to a situation that, at the start of the year, few would have predicted possible for a side of Spurs’ resources and fanbase.
