De Zerbi reaffirms commitment to Spurs as relegation battle comes to conclusion

• Draw against Everton should be enough for Tottenham

• ‘The secret is to manage the pressure’

Roberto De Zerbi has warned Tottenham’s players that their futures at the club are on the line against Everton on Sunday and reaffirmed his commitment to stay on if they are relegated for the first time since 1977. A point for Spurs would almost certainly mean they finish above West Ham thanks to their superior goal difference, even if West Ham beat Leeds in their final game.

Having missed the chance to seal safety after suffering a first defeat in five matches, against Chelsea in midweek, Tottenham know that any slip-ups could prove disastrous.
