Are Tottenham about to make Another Managerial Change?
Defeats for Liverpool and Chelsea controlled Saturday's Premier League headlines, but it was another side who started the season with top-four ambitions who were once again the focus of negative attention on Sunday afternoon.
Last Sunday's draw at Liverpool left Tottenham 2-1 to decrease and Wednesday's Champions League win over Atletico Madrid boosted belief they might avoid the drop.
However, Sunday's 3-0 home loss to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest indicates they have taken just one point from the last 21 available and bet365 have cut Spurs from 12-5 to 13-8 for the drop.
If there was a consolation for the Lilywhites, it was West Ham's 2-0 loss at Aston Villa, ensuring the Hammers stay in the bottom three by a point heading into the worldwide break.
Sunderland are now five points adrift of the leading six after originating from behind to beat Tyne-Wear rivals Newcastle 2-1.
Meanwhile, objectives from John McGinn and Ollie Watkins enabled Villa to seal their top-four location. The Villans' win over the Hammers moved them five points clear of Liverpool and they head to Forest in their next league game on April 12.
Talking point
Are Tottenham ready to make another supervisory modification? Last Sunday's 1-1 at Liverpool potentially revived the board's belief in Igor Tudor, and hope in a turn-around grew after the win over Atletico.
However, the last scoreline versus Forest was emphatic and the club now have until the trip to Sunderland on Sunday, April 12 to examine their options.
Tottenham are still to win in the league in 2026, and it is just the deficiencies of others that is keeping them out of the bottom 3.
The game at the Stadium of Light is followed by fixtures against Brighton (H), Wolves (A), Aston Villa (A), Leeds (H), Chelsea (A) and Everton (H) to conclude this campaign.
Harry Redknapp was connected with a Tottenham return before Tudor took the task, and his name continues to be pointed out.
Roberto De Zerbi, who in February, and Adi Hutter, last seen at Monaco before Christmas, are both out of work and potentially readily available.
Those home fans who remained to the end of the Forest defeat might have done so to air their frustrations and with three weeks till their next match, the Spurs board might choose Tudor's time is currently up.
