TOTTENHAM MATCH CENTRE:
Predicted XIs, Stats, Tactics & Survival Battle Analysis

Tottenham finally earned a first Premier League win of 2026 with Joao Palhinha earning a priceless 1-0 win at already relegated Wolves. West Ham’s late win against Everton means Spurs remain in the relegation zone, but Roberto De Zerbi is up and running and he will be praying the victory can earn a bit of momentum ahead of four crucial matches to keep the Lilywhites in the top flight. Next up, it’s a tricky trip to Aston Villa.

Next up: Aston Villa vs Tottenham

When Tottenham fans are asked to think about the biggest games in their recent history, they’ll no doubt look back to that win over Ajax, the Champions League final they lost to Liverpool and last season’s Europa League final victory over Manchester United in Bilbao. They’ll probably now need to add each of the final four games of this season to that list because, while the Wolves win earned some respite, if they don’t find some more results in the closing weeks of the campign, they’ll be relegated to the Championship. Aston Villa are destined for the Champions League, while they also face Nottingham Forest in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday. De Zerbi might just be relying on a little bit of fatigue for the Villans from that game to give his side an edge in what feels like another must-win encounter.
