Tottenham Hotspur edge closer to Premier League safety under new coach De Zerbi

Roberto De Zerbi’s appointment has coincided with an upturn in Tottenham’s form. After a 1‑1 draw with Leeds United, the club moved two points ahead of West Ham and recorded its longest unbeaten run of the season – two wins and two draws in the last four matches. De Zerbi’s tactics and man‑management have restored confidence, with players publicly backing the Italian coach and goal‑keeper Antonín Kinský delivering crucial saves.

Spurs now need four points from their final two fixtures to guarantee survival. The next match is against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, followed by a decisive clash with West Ham, who must slip up in their own remaining games. If West Ham fail to win against Newcastle, Tottenham’s safety chances improve markedly, giving the club a realistic chance to avoid relegation after a turbulent season under previous managers.
