Spurs' Survival Depends on Other Teams' Failings, Says Kelly

Former defender Stephen Kelly says Tottenham will only survive this season if other clubs perform worse, citing the Spurs' poor form and a difficult fixture list.

Spurs are joint bottom of the Premier League form table over the past six games, having failed to win a domestic match since December. The club's recent struggles led to the sacking of head coach Thomas Frank and the appointment of interim manager Igor Tudor.

Kelly warned that Tottenham's chances of staying up hinge on other teams faltering, noting the tough upcoming fixtures against Fulham, Crystal Palace and Liverpool. He also highlighted the gulf in class between Spurs and Arsenal, stressing the need for a mental shift at home to secure vital points.
