Tottenham’s defeat last night has pushed their relegation probability up to 14%, and early reports suggest that Igor Tudor, appointed only three matches ago could already be facing the sack. Since the Croatian took charge, Spurs sit bottom of the league for goals conceded, goal difference, expected goals against, expected goal difference, and points, a collapse that has intensified pressure around the club.

One Spurs fan remarked on social media “West Ham and Nottingham Forest have got fight and grit. We have none of that.”

From a West Ham perspective, many supporters won’t mind if Spurs decide to persevere with their struggling manager a little longer. Our own focus, though, after the FA Cup 5th round, turns to Manchester City. We were beaten 3–1 in last season’s reverse fixture, and historically our home record against City is modest, seven wins from 24 Premier League meetings.

Even so, City’s recent 2–2 draw at home to Forest shows they’re not invincible, and Nuno’s side will be ready to take the game to them on the 14th March.

COYI!
