Tottenham would be fighting relegation based on worrying Premier League home table

An extremely worrying Premier League stat has come to light after Tottenham’s home loss against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Spurs’ struggles to win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium continue as Aston Villa came back from a goal down to take all three points on Sunday.

Ahead of the game, Frank had spoken about the need for Spurs to make their stadium a fortress, but it is proving anything but at the moment.

The Lilywhites are now winless at home in the Premier League since their opening day 3-0 win against newly promoted Burnley, and Spurs fans will be shocked by one stat.

Only three sides have a worse home record than Tottenham this season

Following their loss on Sunday, Tottenham have now secured just four points out of a possible 12 at home this season.

According to the Premier League’s website, that means that Spurs rank 17th when it comes to home form across the division so far this season.

In fact, the only three teams that have worse home records than Tottenham are the three teams that currently occupy the relegation zone: Nottingham Forest, West Ham, and Burnley.

That certainly does not make for pretty reading, and although it is a small sample, it means that Spurs are showing near-relegation form at home, which was also the case for much of last season.

Thomas Frank defends Spurs’ home form

After Sunday’s defeat, the Tottenham boss acknowledged that his side have to improve some aspects of their game at home.

However, Frank insisted that Spurs’ performances at home have been better than their results suggest this season. He suggested that a draw would have been a fair result against Villa and claimed that Tottenham could have even won on a different day.

“I hope I can. Maybe I don’t think it’s that simple. I think it’s about looking into the performances.

“I think we performed well against Burnley, I think we performed well again today. I think we had one very good first half against Wolves and then we had a bad game against Bournemouth.

“So, that’s probably the reason I think it’s a game that is a draw, a clear draw and we could easily have won it instead of Villa and then it would have been a different narrative. So, I look at the performance on the pitch, we did well, and look at the bits we need to improve.”
