Key events

Tottenham are sinking in a sea of venom. Relegation is no longer a distant prospect for the owners of the country’s best and costliest stadium. On the contrary, it is all getting all too real. Tottenham have rolled the dice, replacing a bedraggled Thomas Frank with a bewildered Igor Tudor, but they are only a point above the bottom three and offered absolutely no evidence that they are capable of arresting the slide during this shambolic defeat to Crystal Palace.
Preamble
Tottenham are in crisis. Tottenham are almost always in crisis, but last night’s 3-1 home Premier League defeat by Crystal Palace means things got a lot more crisis-y. They are now just a point above 18th-placed Wolves and 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, 29 points to their 28. As Tottenham’s executives survey the wreckage of another season –and weigh up whether or not Igor Tudor is the right man to lead them through this full-blooded relegation fight – we’ll bring you the latest.
There is also FA Cup to look forward to this weekend, among other things, with Wolves v Liverpool kicking off the fifth-round action at Molineux at 8pm tonight. Then there’s Mansfield Town v Arsenal, Wrexham v Chelsea and Newcastle v Manchester City tomorrow, to name but three.
