Why Tottenham are better than their start to the 2026-27 season suggests

Tottenham Hotspur currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League table after five matches under head coach Roberto De Zerbi. The club spent more than £300 million on 10 new signings during the summer transfer window, resulting in significant squad turnover. De Zerbi has made a league-high 13 lineup changes across the opening five games while attempting to integrate new arrivals.

Key additions Savio and Omar Marmoush arrived after an opening 3-0 loss to Brentford, while midfielder Mateus Fernandes continues to adapt to new tactical demands. Despite recent results, including a 3-2 home defeat to Aston Villa, Tottenham have demonstrated defensive improvement by conceding just four expected goals across their last four matches.
