So here we are again, Tottenham Hotspur. Seven games into the Igor Tudor reign that was supposed to save Spurs from relegation, they look more doomed than ever before.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has moved to de-escalate tensions following a controversial interview in which he appeared to leave the door open for a move to Real Madrid.
