Are Tottenham Ready to make Another Managerial Change?
Defeats for Liverpool and Chelsea dominated Saturday's Premier League headlines, but it was another side who began the season with top-four aspirations who were again the focus of negative attention on Sunday afternoon.
Last Sunday's draw at Liverpool left Tottenham 2-1 to go down and Wednesday's Champions League win over Atletico Madrid improved belief they might avoid the drop.
However, Sunday's 3-0 home loss to transfer rivals Nottingham Forest implies they have actually taken simply one point from the last 21 readily available and bet365 have cut Spurs from 12-5 to 13-8 for the drop.
If there was an alleviation for the Lilywhites, it was West Ham's 2-0 loss at Aston Villa, making sure the Hammers remain in the bottom 3 by a point heading into the worldwide break.
Sunderland are now 5 points adrift of the top 6 after coming from behind to beat Tyne-Wear rivals Newcastle 2-1.
Meanwhile, objectives from John McGinn and Ollie Watkins permitted Villa to seal their top-four location. The Villans' win over the Hammers moved them five points clear of Liverpool and they head to Forest in their next league game on April 12.
Talking point

However, the final scoreline versus Forest was emphatic and the club now have till the trip to Sunderland on Sunday, April 12 to examine their options.
Tottenham are still to win in the league in 2026, and it is just the shortages of others that is keeping them out of the bottom 3.
The game at the Stadium of Light is followed by components versus Brighton (H), Wolves (A), Aston Villa (A), Leeds (H), Chelsea (A) and Everton (H) to conclude this campaign.
Harry Redknapp was related to a Tottenham return before Tudor took the task, and his name continues to be mentioned.
Roberto De Zerbi, who departed Marseille in February, and Adi Hutter, last seen at Monaco before Christmas, are both out of work and possibly available.
Those home fans who stayed to the end of the Forest defeat may have done so to air their disappointments and with three weeks up until their next match, the Spurs board might decide Tudor's time is currently up.
