Tottenham's heavy north London derby defeat against Arsenal on Sunday just confirmed what everyone already knew. Perilously perched just four points above the Premier League relegation zone following the 4-1 home loss, Spurs have a multitude of issues to resolve. They have not won a domestic league game in 2026 and only two since 26 October 2025, meaning that - aside from bottom club Wolves - 16th-placed Tottenham have the worst form in the division. New interim head coach Tudor has a crippling injury list to contend with, plus a forthcoming Champions League last-16 tie to negotiate. BBC Sport assesses their precarious situation, what relegation might bring and if they are too good to go down?
