TOTTENHAM managed to scrape a point away at Anfield last night against Liverpool, with Richarlison scoring an 89th minute equaliser to keep Spurs one point above both Forest and West Ham, the latter sat at the top of the relegation spots.
With Igor Tudor’s side firmly in a relegation battle with eight games of the Premier League season left to play, lets have a look at five clubs across some of Europe’s other big leagues, who are facing a similar fate.
FIVE – TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
As we’ve mentioned them already, lets start with Spurs. After sacking Ange Postecoglu – the manager who won them their first trophy in 17 years – they appointed Brentford’s Thomas Frank, whom which they also sacked on the 11th February this year, with the club 16th in the league, five points above the drop zone.
His replacement was ex-Juventus and Lazio boss Igor Tudor, who was appointed with the task of keeping the Lilywhites up, despite having no Premier League experience. In his four league games at the helm, not to mention the embarrassing 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, he’s lost three and drawn one, leaving Tottenham 16th in the league, and one point above the drop zone.
Relegation is a serious threat for one of the league’s ‘Big Six’. They are winless in 10 league games and haven’t won one since 2025, their relegation rivals Forest, West Ham and Leeds are all picking up points, and to make matters worse, Arsenal are looking all the more likely to win the league. This could be a year Spurs fans may never forget for all the wrong reasons.
FOUR – GRASSHOPPER CLUB
Giants of the Swiss Division Grasshopper, find themselves second from bottom on 24 points, having only won five games all season. The Zurich-based side have won a record 27 Swiss Championships, but this season they could be falling down a division for the first time since 2020, where they spent two years in the second tier.
That was Grasshopper’s first relegation in over 70 years, which shows how crazy it would be if they’re not in the Super League next season. Having won just one league game since December, they’re almost dead-set for an unwanted return to the Challenger league.
THREE – LEGIA WARSAW
One of the few known Polish sides, Legia Warsaw have been a force to be reckoned with across the country in the past. Like Grasshoppers, Legia Warsaw have won the Ekstraklasa a record number of times with 15, alongside 21 Polish Cup triumphs also, and are the only Polish club to have never been relegated, but currently sit amongst those threatened with relegation.
25 games played and only six wins, Legia sit 16th with 28 points, one off safety. However, they’re currently unbeaten in six, winning two of those games and drawing four, which definitely helps their cause. With nine games of the season remaining, Legia fans will hope this form continues so they can avoid the unthinkable.
TWO – FIORENTINA
One of Italy’s most memorable teams for their distinctive purple kit – a controversial one at that in 1992/93 – Fiorentina are facing a scary prospect. Despite reaching two Conference League finals back-to-back, the Tuscan giants have been flirting with relegation all year.
After spending most of the season in the bottom three, and only winning their first Serie A game of the season on the 21st December, they’ve recently moved out of the drop zone to 17th on 25 points, one ahead of Cremonese in 18th.
They certainly have the quality to survive with the likes of David De Gea, Moise Kean and Robin Gosens within their ranks, but they’ll have to find some consistency to stop their side from returning to the Serie B for the first time since 2004.
ONE – WOLFSBURG
It’s a scary season for Wolsfburg thus far, as the 2009 Bundesliga Champions find themselves deep within a relegation battle. Currently sat 17th and second bottom, Die Wölfe have 21 points, three behind St. Pauli who are in the relegation playoff places, and four behind both Werder Bremen and Köln who are safe as it stands.
Wolfsburg have only won once in 2026, and are on their third manager of the season, after sacking head coach Daniel Bauer on March 8th, alongside Sporting Director Peter Christiansen on the same day. A return to the Bundesliga 2 for the first time since 1997 is very much on the cards, and to make matters worse, they face St. Pauli on the final day, in a game that could be season defining for Wolfsburg.
