Tottenham Relegation: Spurs Survive in Fixture Projection

Tottenham Hotspur will narrowly avoid Premier League relegation this season if their remaining match results mirror the reverse fixtures.

The top-flight survival race is intensifying as Leeds United, West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Spurs scrap to avoid the drop.

Igor Tudor was appointed in February to rescue a disastrous campaign that initially began under Thomas Frank.

The new manager has struggled to completely stabilise the club amid a highly turbulent season.

However, a recent 1-1 draw against Liverpool finally halted a damaging six-match losing streak for the north London club.

Crucial six-pointer awaits

Tudor’s side face a monumental clash against Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon.

The reverse fixture ended in a comfortable 3-0 victory for the East Midlands outfit.

A repeat of that heavy defeat would plunge the struggling side even deeper into the relegation mire.

Yet if every remaining game this season matched the previous result between the two teams, the final table makes for positive reading for Spurs fans.

Assuming bottom clubs Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley are already condemned to the Championship, four teams remain in serious peril.

Following the hypothetical Forest defeat, Tottenham would secure consecutive draws against Sunderland, Brighton and Wolves.

A 2-1 loss to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa would follow to paint a grim picture for their immediate survival hopes.

Fortunes would then drastically change with a vital 2-1 triumph over relegation rivals Leeds.

Despite a subsequent projected loss to Chelsea, top-flight status would be officially sealed on the final day of the campaign.

A replication of October’s 3-0 thrashing of Everton would see them finish the season on 39 points.

This exact points tally would be just enough to keep the team up at the expense of their closest challengers.

In this speculative model, Leeds would ultimately drop into the second tier despite claiming late victories over West Ham and Wolves.
