Oh Tottenham. How has it come to this?

Champions League finalists in 2019, and Europa League winners just 12 months ago, one of the grandest clubs in England are now possibly 90 minutes plus fingernail-and-artery-bothering add-ons away from relegation to the second tier for the first time in nearly half a century.

Ah but let’s leave those questions for later. And they’ll be a lot less pointed should Spurs escape the executioner this afternoon.

The maths are simple: beat Everton and they stay up.

A draw will almost certainly be enough, unless West Ham beat Leeds 12-0, which, given that scoreline would tie a top-flight record set 134 years ago^* and matched only once since, 117 years ago^†, is not going to happen.

But a defeat … hoo boy.
