Kelly: Spurs survival depends on others being worse

Former Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly has warned the club's Premier League survival depends on other teams performing worse, as they sit joint-bottom in recent form.

Stephen Kelly believes Tottenham's only hope of avoiding relegation is that other teams will perform worse. The former defender described the situation as 'not looking very good at all' after Spurs failed to win in domestic competition since December.

The Lilywhites are currently four points above the relegation zone but face difficult upcoming fixtures against Fulham, Crystal Palace and Liverpool. Kelly noted the 'enormous gulf in class' between Spurs and Arsenal, highlighting the team's need for improved mentality at home to secure crucial victories.
