First Premier League start for Ngumoha today

Igor Tudor has overseen three consecutive league defeats, adding to the two Thomas Frank suffered before his sacking in February.

Spurs have not won a league game since December 28 (1-0 at Palace) and are on the cusp of exiting the Champions League after a 5-2 first-leg defeat at Atletico Madrid.

Their fast start to the season, which saw one defeat in seven and convincing wins over Burnley, Manchester City and West Ham United, now seems a distant memory.

That early spell of form saw Spurs’ team rating of 71.9 rank fourth-best on Fanalysis, an app where fans can rate their team’s performances, but that has fallen significantly and their 40.2 rating over the last four matches ranks bottom.

Injuries and discipline have been issues all season for Spurs, as evidenced by their top three players in Fanalysis’ ratings.

Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Bergvall are both currently out injured, while Cristian Romero has missed six league games due to suspension and a further two with an injury.

Guglielmo Vicario, who has allowed a league-high 4.4 non-penalty goals more than expected, is the worst-rated goalkeeper in the league (53.7).

Relegation is a growing threat with visits to Liverpool and Sunderland up next, either side of a six-pointer with Nottingham Forest, who beat Spurs 3-0 at the City Ground in December.
