De Zerbi: Tottenham Not Relegated Ahead of Villa Clash

Roberto De Zerbi, the coach of Brighton & Hove Albion, addressed the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur ahead of their match against Aston Villa. He insisted that Tottenham is not yet relegated, despite being only two points above the relegation zone.

De Zerbi urged players to support each other and ignore the negative narratives surrounding the club's position. Tottenham secured their first Premier League win of 2026 against Wolverhampton last weekend, but injuries to key players like Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke complicate their situation.

De Zerbi rejected the notion that relegation is inevitable, stating that it is impossible to predict such outcomes. He emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and positivity within the squad, despite recent struggles.

De Zerbi highlighted the quality of players available, including Randal Kolo Muani and Richarlison, and expressed confidence that Tottenham can perform well against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
