Guglielmo Vicario delivers honest verdict on Tottenham relegation fears, ‘It depends’

Guglielmo Vicario has now delivered his honest verdict on Tottenham Hotspur’s relegation fears after their latest defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Tottenham Hotspur once again failed to secure a victory in the Premier League after losing 2-0 to Manchester United, with the Lilywhites still winless in 2026.

Spurs’ last five outings in the league have seen them pick up a disappointing two points from a possible 15, with two draws and three defeats from their last five games.

The Man United defeat brought an end to Tottenham’s run of eight games without a defeat to the Red Devils in all competitions, and it also leaves Spurs with two wins in their last 16 games.

Guglielmo Vicario addresses Tottenham relegation concerns

It was only 2-0 against Michael Carrick’s side, but it could well have been more had it not been for some Guglielmo Vicario heroics. The Italian managed an impressive eight saves against United to help keep the scoreline respectable.

Speaking to TNT Sports (07/02/26 14:50) about the possibility of Tottenham being dragged into a relegation scrap, Vicario admitted results have not been good enough while also pointing to the demands placed on the squad.

He said: “It depends how you see things in life. The reality is that in terms of results we have struggled a lot. Two wins in the last 16 is not acceptable for this football club but we do not have to forget how we are trying to push ourselves in tough conditions.

“This is the reality. Of course we have had a brilliant Champions League campaign so far and playing every three games I have already played 36 games and I am proud of myself for doing this but for the outfield players it is tough, so it depends how you see things in life.”

Spurs’ relegation rivals find form as pressure mounts

Regardless of how Spurs choose to look at things, the reality is that they are now being dragged into a full-on relegation scrap.

West Ham United are in good form and have been getting wins under their belt in recent weeks, slowly closing the gap between themselves and Tottenham.

A victory against Burnley in their own matchweek 35 fixture will pretty much see the gap between themselves and Spurs cut down to six points with 13 games to go.
