In the competition's history, only Ipswich Town in 2024-25 (68 per cent - 15/22) and Crystal Palace in 1997-98 (67 per cent - 22/33) have ever earned a larger share of their points on the road.

Spurs have lost each of their last five Premier League games; only in February 1994 (seven) and November 2004 (six) have they ever suffered six or more successive defeats in their league history.
