Stephen Kelly, a former Tottenham defender, warned that the Spurs' chances of staying up this season hinge on rivals faltering. He pointed to the club's joint bottom position in the recent form table, lack of points since December, and a tough run of fixtures against Fulham, Crystal Palace and Liverpool. Kelly also noted the gulf in class with Arsenal and the need for a mental shift at home to win games. He concluded that the only reason Tottenham could survive is if other teams do worse, a bleak outlook for the club.
