Their latest defeat\u2014a 2-0 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford on February 7, 2026\u2014extended their winless run in the league to <strong>at least seven games<\/strong> (and zero victories since the turn of the year). Under manager <strong>Thomas Frank<\/strong>, Spurs are sliding down the table and facing serious questions about their form, tactics, and future.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Tottenham\u2019s Dismal 2026 Premier League Record<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Since January 1, 2026, Tottenham have failed to secure a single Premier League victory. Key results include:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li>Multiple draws (e.g., a late 2-2 equalizer at Burnley and against Manchester City at home)<\/li>\n<li>Heavy losses and narrow defeats against teams like Bournemouth, West Ham, and now Manchester United<\/li>\n<li>A run of <strong>just three points from possible 15+<\/strong> in early 2026 fixtures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The 2-0 defeat to Manchester United was particularly painful: Cristian Romero\u2019s early red card left Spurs down to 10 men, paving the way for goals from Bryan Mbeumo (38\u2032) and Bruno Fernandes (81\u2032). This result piled more misery on a side that has struggled for consistency all season.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Current Premier League Standing: 14th Place and Relegation Fears<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">After 25 matches in the 2025\/26 season, Tottenham sit in <strong>14th place<\/strong> with <strong>29 points<\/strong> (7 wins, 8 draws, 10 losses; goal difference 35-35). They\u2019re only a handful of points above the relegation zone, sparking genuine concern about a survival scrap for a club that won the Europa League final last season and boasts one of the richest setups in world football.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Despite creating plenty of chances (third-most in the Premier League since January 2026 according to some stats), Spurs have failed to convert them into wins. Defensive issues, injuries (reports of up to 12 players sidelined at times), and poor results against both top and bottom sides have compounded the problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur are enduring a nightmare start to 2026 in the Premier League, with no wins in the calendar year\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":43822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4650],"tags":[1162],"class_list":["post-43821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league","tag-tottenham-hotspur"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43821"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43821\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43823,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43821\/revisions\/43823"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
