Winless in 14 league matches, Tottenham incredibly finds itself in the Premier League's relegation zone with just six matches left to play.
The North London club hosts Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, April 18 hoping to lock in for the stretch run and escape a drop – which would go down as a historic humiliation for a team that had qualified for the Champions League six times since 2016.
"We have to find the right energy, the right spirit. When they stay with me during the week, they will find a positive coach because I believe in them," said manager Roberto de Zerbi, Spurs' third manager of the season. "They are human and maybe they are suffering too much. We have to stay all together and close and improve in the details of the football, but to be better as a mentality."
Tottenham was last relegated from England's top division in 1977. Meanwhile, Brighton enters Saturday's match having won three Premier League, including a 2-0 win over Burnley last time out.
Heres's what to know for the relegation battle:
18th, 19th and 20th place demoted to second tier of English soccer
(Odds via DraftKings, as of 11 a.m. April 17)
Tottenham was last relegated in 1977, dropping out of the top division with a 22nd-place finish. Prior to that, Tottenham hadn't been relegated since 1935.
