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

Stephen Kelly says Tottenham will survive only if other teams do worse, citing the club's poor form and mental struggles.

Spurs are joint bottom of the Premier League form table, having failed to win a domestic game since December and sit four points above the relegation zone. Former defender Stephen Kelly warned that the club's survival hinges on other teams performing worse, a bleak outlook given the upcoming fixtures against Fulham, Crystal Palace and Liverpool.

Kelly criticised the team's lack of mental strength at home and the gulf in class with rivals like Arsenal, noting that without a change in attitude Tottenham will struggle to secure the wins needed to escape the drop.
