Tottenham Need Wolves Win to Escape Relegation Threat

Summary

De Zerbi seeks survival

Tottenham face Wolves on 25 April 2026 as manager Roberto De Zerbi prepares his side.
The club has endured 15 winless league games and sits two points behind safety.
Injuries sideline Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario and Pape Matar Sarr, with James Maddison doubtful.
De Zerbi urges mental strength because a win over already-relegated Wolves would lift Tottenham out of the drop zone if West Ham falters.

Summary

De Zerbi Mulls Drop

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi is considering dropping Aaron Gallagher for 19-year-old Archie Gray.
Gallagher has not won a Premier League match for Tottenham since joining from Atletico Madrid in January because the club’s last league win occurred in December before his arrival.
TalkSPORT pundit Jamie O'Hara called Gallagher “absolutely awful” and said he belongs in the Championship.
Gray, praised as a future £100 million player, could start against Wolves.
