Tottenham Hotspur host Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday evening in what has become a season-defining fixture \u2014 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\u2019s most embarrassing stretches in the modern era.<\/p>\n
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\u20130 loss away at newly promoted Sunderland just six days ago. The rot spans games against clubs at both ends of the table \u2014 there has been no discrimination in the suffering.<\/p>\n
The most damaging 2026 results include a 4\u20131 derby humiliation at home to Arsenal in February, a 3\u20130 thrashing by Crystal Palace in March, and a chastening 3\u20130 defeat to Nottingham Forest \u2014 a side battling relegation. The draws, meanwhile, have offered little comfort: consecutive 2\u20132 draws against Burnley and Manchester City feel a long time ago.<\/p>\n
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 \u2014 unthinkable for most of the season \u2014 has become a very live concern.<\/p>\n
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 \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019 resources and fanbase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
