Tottenham face a tense finish to the Premier League season after a 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest left Cristian Romero describing the final seven fixtures as “finals”, and vowing to give “200 per cent” as Spurs hover just one point above 18th-placed West Ham in the relegation zone battle.

The defeat against fellow relegation rivals Forest came amid a long slump in league form, with Tottenham now winless in 13 Premier League matches, drawing five and losing eight, a sequence that matches the club’s second-longest run without victory in league play, first recorded in November 1912.

Analytical models reflect the danger facing Spurs, with the Opta supercomputer assigning Tottenham a 26.5% probability of dropping into the second tier, while also judging 17th place as their most likely final position, at 38.4%, underlining the fine margins confronting Igor Tudor after only five league games in charge.

Historical records deepen the concern around Tudor’s early tenure, as Tottenham have suffered such poor spells only rarely, previously enduring a worse league sequence once, when they went 16 matches without a win between December 1934 and April 1935, a comparison that increases the scrutiny already surrounding the current head coach.

Across the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, Tottenham have collected just 30 points from 31 matches, using the three-points-for-a-win measure across history, which equals their lowest return at this stage of any league season, matching the 1914-15 campaign when Spurs also sat on 30 points after 31 fixtures.

Home form has been especially damaging, with the Forest defeat marking Tottenham’s 10th top-flight home loss of 2025-26, and Spurs have managed only two home league wins for the entire season, a figure that is the joint-lowest in the division, matched only by 19th-placed Burnley, leaving supporters frustrated yet still turning up.

Romero completed the full match against Forest, which was only the third time Tottenham have lost by three goals at home to a Premier League opponent who started the day 17th or lower in the table, after a 3-0 defeat to West Ham in October 2013 and another 0-3 reverse against Sheffield Wednesday in August 1998.

Key Tottenham numbers from this difficult Premier League campaign are outlined below.

Tottenham pressure and Cristian Romero’s promise

“It’s a difficult day for everyone, but the first thing is to speak about the fans. Thank you for today and always staying with us,” Romero said. “They gave us fantastic support, but about us, it was a bad day. Now it is finished, and the most important thing is to understand the situation. It’s not easy, but the most important thing is to get to the national team and back here for the last seven finals. I promise [to] put 200 per cent into every one and, for me, it is not easy, but we have to stay all together. It’s a bad day yeah, but we will go again.”

Tottenham supporters, Brighton clash and Romero’s gratitude

Despite the poor results, Spurs fans gathered in large numbers before kick-off against Forest, lining the route to welcome the players into the stadium, and club staff expect even greater backing when Tottenham host Brighton on April 18, a fixture likely to have major implications for their position near the bottom.

“It’s incredible and especially at this moment, after this season was no good. Honestly me, [I’m] the first to take responsibility, but to the fans, thank you,” Romero added. “Thank you every game, the support is brilliant, and it’s only 1774357067 about the players, the staff, and we need [to give] more, especially me at first, but in the last seven finals we will go again.”

As the season moves towards its final weeks, Tottenham face seven high-pressure league matches that will decide whether Opta’s 26.5% relegation probability becomes reality, and Romero’s pledge to give “200 per cent”, alongside the support of a loyal fanbase, will be central as scrutiny continues on Igor Tudor’s short spell in charge.
