De Zerbi's Bold Claim: Tottenham Can Win Final 5 Games to Avoid Relegation

Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi has declared his belief that Spurs can win all five of their remaining Premier League games to avoid relegation. The claim comes after Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Brighton, where Georginio Rutter's 95th-minute equalizer denied them a crucial victory in De Zerbi's first home match in charge.

The result leaves Tottenham in the relegation zone, a point from safety with a daunting run-in that includes matches against Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Leeds. Despite the challenging schedule, De Zerbi insists his squad possesses the quality to string together five consecutive wins, telling reporters: "This team is able to win five games in a row."

However, Sky Sports' Peter Smith notes that while De Zerbi can point to positives in his team's performance, time is running out for Spurs' survival hopes. The club has now gone five games without a win when leading, and hasn't tasted victory in 2026. With Tottenham spending another week in the relegation zone and their gap to safety potentially widening before their next match against Wolves, De Zerbi's task of changing the club's fortunes has become increasingly difficult.
