Facing relegation, two points off safety behind West Ham United, their run in can either preserve the status quo and give the Tottenham leadership a chance to right their management wrongs\u2026 or send the club into a spiral of issues resulting from losing Premier League status.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-grvmedia-grv-video GRVMultiVideo\"\/>\n<p>Few seem to be batting for Tottenham right now, so Spurs fans could find some light in the predictions of Pascal Chimbonda, the retired right-back who started in Spurs\u2019 2-1 League Cup final victory against Chelsea (as well as in the famous 5-1 thrashing of Arsenal we delt out at the old Lane earlier that year).<\/p>\n<p>The French right back, who\u2019s most recently been coaching non-league side Skelmersdale United, gave us his exclusive prediction for the upcoming fixtures for both Spurs and West Ham. <\/p>\n<p>So how does Chimbonda expects this tail end of the season to play out?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 991px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/static\/uploads\/1\/2024\/07\/pascal-chimbonda1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Pascal Chimbonda Tottenham\" class=\"wp-image-286621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/static\/uploads\/1\/2024\/07\/pascal-chimbonda1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/static\/uploads\/1\/2024\/07\/pascal-chimbonda1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/static\/uploads\/1\/2024\/07\/pascal-chimbonda1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/static\/uploads\/1\/2024\/07\/pascal-chimbonda1-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/static\/uploads\/1\/2024\/07\/pascal-chimbonda1-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/static\/uploads\/1\/2024\/07\/pascal-chimbonda1.jpg 1280w\"\/><\/div><figcaption title=\"(Credit: @smw._photography)\">Credit: @smw._photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tottenham-can-expect-trouble-at-villa-park\"><strong>Tottenham can expect trouble at Villa Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Spurs fans won\u2019t be happy to hear that Chimbonda has Tottenham losing away to Villa next week by two goals to one. <\/p>\n<p>A big European clash awaits Aston Villa where the East Midlands team will try to overturn a one goal deficit to Nottingham Forest, just a few days after Spurs play at Villa Park. <\/p>\n<p>This and with possible absences to crucial Villa players in Kamara and Onana, had some hoping for a positive result against the Villans.<\/p>\n<p>At least according to Chimbonda, West Ham aren\u2019t winning either\u2026 He has Brentford beating West Ham at the Gtech by the same scoreline, 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>While this result would at least keep the current two point gap between Spurs and their closest relegation rivals but would nonetheless require Spurs to win at least two games of their remaining three.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick reminder of what the remaining fixtures are for both teams.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-spurs-web wp-block-embed-spurs-web\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-of-the-remaining-run-in\"><strong>What of the remaining run in?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Spurs\u2019 remaining fixtures<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>West Ham\u2019s remaining fixtures<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Aston Villa (A)<\/td>\n<td>Brentford (A)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Leeds (H)<\/td>\n<td>Arsenal (H)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Chelsea (A)<\/td>\n<td>Newcastle (A)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Everton (H)<\/td>\n<td>Leeds (H)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s how Chimbonda thinks this crucial run in will turn out.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"inline-links multi\">\n<li><svg width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><use href=\"#list-arrow-svg\"\/><\/svg>Aston Villa vs Tottenham: 2-1<\/li>\n<li><svg width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><use href=\"#list-arrow-svg\"\/><\/svg>Tottenham vs Leeds : 2-1<\/li>\n<li><svg width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><use href=\"#list-arrow-svg\"\/><\/svg>Chelsea vs Tottenham: 1-1<\/li>\n<li><svg width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><use href=\"#list-arrow-svg\"\/><\/svg>Tottenham vs. Everton: 2-0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A point at Stamford bridge and two wins from the two remaining home games would be the stuff of dreams for Spurs fans.
