After a disappointing 1-2 loss at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea on Tuesday, Tottenham, currently sitting 17th with 38 points, finds itself in a precarious position, facing the threat of relegation. West Ham, occupying the 18th spot and the first team in the relegation zone with 36 points, is breathing down their necks. Consequently, the Spurs are gearing up for a pivotal Premier League match against Everton this Sunday at 5 PM, while West Ham will simultaneously host Leeds in their own fight for survival.

Almost a year ago, the North London club salvaged a catastrophic Premier League campaign, which saw them finish 17th, by defeating Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final – securing their first trophy since 2008. However, instead of building on that success, the English club has faltered this season and could face relegation to the Championship for the first time since 1977.

De Zerbi remains positive for Premier League survival

Tottenham, having managed only two home victories this season, absolutely needs to avoid defeat against the Toffees. The former OM coach (2024-2026) remains hopeful: “I’d like us to play Sunday as we did during the last 20 minutes (on Tuesday), where we showed more energy, more passion, something more in us,” he stated.

“Every single player is focused on the objective. They work hard throughout the week, and each of us wants to achieve this goal. I believe we are playing a final (on Sunday), a crucial match, and it’s in our stadium… We must, therefore, stay alive. It’s going to be a monumental day for us,” he concluded, emphasizing the significance of the upcoming fixture.
