West Ham United, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Leeds are locked in a four way battle to the death of one sides’ Premier League futures.
West Ham had the form-pre Aston Villa result – and the momentum and indeed it is Spurs who look to be the club sinking like a stone without a league win this year.
News this afternoon will have huge repercussions on the relegation battle, as broken by Sky sports:
“Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor has left the club after just six weeks in charge.
Tudor did not win a single one of his five Premier League games, drawing just one and losing the other four, having replaced Thomas Frank in February.

Spurs said on X: “We can confirm that it has been mutually agreed for head coach Igor Tudor to leave the club with immediate effect.
“Tomislav Rogic and Riccardo Ragnacci have also left their respective roles of goalkeeping coach and physical coach.
“We thank Igor, Tomislav and Riccardo for their efforts during the past six weeks, in which they worked tirelessly.”
The club added that “an update on a new head coach will be provided in due course”.
West Ham fans will be silently cursing: It seemed Igor Tudor was their secret weapon and the Hammers’ best chance of avoiding the drop came if Tudor remained in charge. Sean Dyche amongst others had been touted as a possible replacement: Time will tell in what will prove to be a pivotal few days in the relegation battle.
