Tottenham's last six fixtures compared to relegation rivals after damaging defeat to Sunderland

Tottenham Hotspur make the long trip back from the north east empty-handed as a result of a 1-0 loss to Sunderland on Sunday afternoon, as the threat of relegation looms

Roberto De Zerbi has just six matches to turn things around with Tottenham Hotspur or face relegation to the Championship.

The Italian's dream debut went out the window at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, as Nordi Mukiele's heavily deflected goal proved decisive in a 1-0 loss to Sunderland.

As a result of West Ham United leapfrogging them on Friday courtesy of a 4-0 thumping of a rock-bottom Wolves, the Lilywhites now find themselves 18th in the Premier League table and two points from safety. Forest and Leeds each sit three points clear of Spurs, meanwhile.

The fortunate news is that the season isn't said and done just yet, although Spurs will now have to rely on results going against their relegation rivals to avoid their first-ever season out of the Premier League since its inception in 1992.

With that in mind, football.london breaks down Spurs remaining top flight fixtures compared to the teams they are currently scrapping to avoid relegation, including the Hammers, Nottingham Forest and Leeds United...
