LONDON: Roberto De Zerbi has urged relegation-haunted Tottenham to play with “blood and spirit” in Sunday’s do-or-die clash against Everton. Tottenham will be condemned to a humiliating relegation to the Championship if they lose at home to Everton and West Ham defeat Leeds. De Zerbi’s fourth-bottom side are two points ahead of third-bottom West Ham heading into the final day of the season. A draw would also likely be enough to save Tottenham from playing in the second tier for the first time since 1977-78 because of their vastly superior goal difference to West Ham.

Roberto De Zerbi has urged his Tottenham team to play with "blood, character and spirit" as they battle to avoid a first relegation in 49 years on Sunday.
