Tottenham's winless league start stretched to five matches after a 90th-minute equalizer salvaged a 2-2 draw at Burnley. The result leaves Spurs eight points clear of the relegation zone, but their inability to beat struggling sides has sparked serious concern. With just one win from their last eight league games, manager Thomas Frank faces mounting pressure.

The anxiety is compounded by West Ham's rejuvenated form, with back-to-back wins narrowing the gap to the drop zone. Tottenham's upcoming February fixtures look daunting, featuring Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle, and Arsenal. A fan poll shows 65% believe Spurs are in a relegation battle, with bookmakers' odds shortening to 20/1.

Elsewhere, Manchester City eased past Wolves without Erling Haaland, while Liverpool suffered a shocking 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth. The Reds' sterile possession under Arne Slot exposed a lack of cutting edge, suggesting a growing tactical problem. Tottenham's season now hinges on navigating a brutal run of games while their form continues to falter.
