Kelly: Only other teams' poor form will save Spurs

Former Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly believes the club will only avoid relegation this season because other teams will perform worse, as Spurs remain in dire form.

Tottenham are joint bottom of the Premier League form table across their last six games alongside 20th-placed Wolves, with no domestic wins since December. The club sacked head coach Thomas Frank due to this poor form, leaving interim boss Igor Tudor with the task of keeping them four points above the relegation zone.

With upcoming fixtures against Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Liverpool, Kelly expressed doubt about where wins will come from. 'The only reason Spurs will be OK is that other teams will do worse,' he told BBC Radio 5 Live. 'It is not looking very good at all.'
