First 2026 Win, Simons ACL

Tottenham finally snapped a 15-game winless run with a gritty 1-0 win at Wolves, thanks to João Palhinha’s late goal—avoiding a record-equalling drought that stretched back to the 1930s. But the relief was short-lived: a stoppage-time West Ham winner elsewhere dropped Spurs right back into 18th place, two points from safety. With the relegation odds swinging wildly and just four matches left, every goal and every save now feels like life or death for the club’s Premier League future.

But here’s the catch: the squad is battered. Injuries keep piling up, with Dominic Solanke potentially out for the season and Xavi Simons suffering a serious knee injury. Eleven first-team absences have forced new boss Roberto De Zerbi into survival mode—pragmatic football, squeezing every drop out of set pieces, and betting on late-game resilience instead of flair. With must-win games looming against Leeds and Everton and Chelsea lurking after an FA Cup final, there are zero safety nets left.

Featuring insights and projections from The Guardian, Opta Analyst, The Athletic, and Sports Mole, this episode breaks down what Spurs must do to survive—and what happens if their luck doesn’t turn.
