Spurs in Relegation Zone: A Familiar Fear?
12 Apr
Summary
- Tottenham faces starting in the bottom three for the first time since September 2011.
- A draw in January 2009 saw them climb from bottom to 16th place.
- The team had a game in hand in their 2011-12 season opener.
Tottenham Hotspur faces a rare prospect of starting a Premier League fixture within the relegation zone, a scenario not seen since September 2011. In that earlier instance, a victory against Wolves propelled them out of the bottom three.
Reflecting on past struggles, the team began a Premier League match in January 2009 at the very bottom of the table. A draw against Portsmouth, secured by a late equalizer, saw them rise to 16th place. Earlier in the 2011-12 season, their placement was also influenced by a postponed game, meaning they had played fewer matches than their rivals.
