Tottenham's next five Premier League games compared to West Ham and relegation rivals

Tottenham find themselves at the wrong end of the Premier League table once more after their latest defeat on Tuesday night.

Pressure piled on Thomas Frank after his side were beaten 2-1 by Newcastle United, which leaves Spurs 16th in the table.

The loss proved to be Frank’s final game at the helm, with the Dane sacked by Spurs on Wednesday.

They are five points clear of the relegation zone, but could have been just three had West Ham managed to hold onto their lead against Manchester United.

The Hammers, sat 18th, were held to a 1-1 draw by United at the London Stadium, but have been on a recent resurgence under Nuno Espirito Santo, clawing their way back to within touching distance of the teams above them.

Spurs’ wretched winless run stretches back to before the turn of the year, with their last victory coming against Crystal Palace on December 28.

It seems them dragged into the dogfight near the foot of the table, with Leeds climbing above them after they secured a 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

Brighton are also looking nervously over their shoulders, with the Seagulls without a win since January 3.

Fabian Hurzeler’s side travelled to Aston Villa on Wednesday but came away empty-handed after Jack Hinshelwood’s own-goal gave the hosts all three points.

Beneath Spurs are Nottingham Forest, who themselves are struggling to find that consistent winning formula.

Forest picked up crucial wins over West Ham and Brentford last month, as well as holding Arsenal to a creditable 0-0 draw, but their recent performances against Crystal Palace and Leeds have allowed West Ham to close the gap from the other side of the dotted line.

They missed a chance to draw level on points with Spurs on Wednesday, though, as they ground out a turgid goalless draw with fellow relegattion candidates Wolves, which saw Sean Dyche dismissed overnight.

But who will Spurs and their relegation rivals face in their next five games?
