Manager
Roberto De Zerbi
In charge since May 2026
De Zerbi-ball: bait the press by standing on the ball, then break it with fast vertical passes. Very short passing distances and a goalkeeper positioned high — spectacular when it works, dangerous when it doesn't.
Spurs narrowly avoided a relegation fight last season under interim management. De Zerbi signed a five-year deal to rebuild the club's identity.

Are Tottenham Hotspur FC a safe survivor pick?
Across the last 3 Premier League seasons — 2025/26 (17th), 2024/25 (17th), 2023/24 (5th) — Tottenham Hotspur FC avoided defeat in 55% of their league games. That is the baseline a survivor player should start from before looking at this week's fixture.
This season they have played 6, winning 0, drawing 3 and losing 3, with 3 scored and 9 conceded. At home they are 0-1-2; away from home 0-2-1.
Unusually, they have travelled better — unbeaten in 67% away versus 33% at home — so don't discount them on the road.
Recent form reads L-D-D-L-D (oldest first), meaning they have come through 60% of their last 5 matches without losing.
