Tottenham Hotspur enter the September international break rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, despite noise from a minority of supporters, Roberto De Zerbi’s job at Tottenham appears safe for the immediate future — but he is clearly under pressure.

Spurs have just 2 points from their first five Premier League games, remain without a league win, and lost 3–2 at home to Aston Villa on Saturday.

They have also been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Liverpool and had gone four league matches without scoring before the Villa game.

However, Fabrizio Romano reported after the Villa defeat that Tottenham currently have no plans to sack De Zerbi and are backing the project they invested heavily in during the summer.

De Zerbi has a five-year contract, running to 2031, and Spurs made a major investment in new players over the summer. That appears to be giving him some protection while the new squad settles.

We scored our first Premier League goals of the season on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 3-2 home defeat to Aston Villa.

Two goals in the closing stages from Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke – his first in our colours – opened our league account for the campaign having failed to net in our previous four matches. However, by that stage, the visitors had taken a 3-0 lead, Johan Manzambi scoring on the stroke of half-time before Nicolas Jackson and Emi Buendia extended their advantage after the break.

Tottenham have now drawn two and lost three of their opening five games. They are 18th in the Premier League.

We debate Spurs' disastrous start to the season and discuss if Roberto De Zerbi can turnaround our dismal start to this season.

This is not literally a six-pointer in September, but the psychological importance is considerable. Tottenham enter the match with two points from four league games, sitting 17th, while Villa have only one point. Spurs have also failed to score in their first four Premier League matches — a remarkable early-season statistic given the scale of their summer recruitment.

So there is an interesting dynamic: both teams desperately need the result, but for slightly different reasons. For Tottenham, a victory would provide De Zerbi with tangible evidence that his new side is beginning to function. Another poor result would leave the enormous summer investment — reported at more than £300m — looking increasingly disconnected from the league performances. De Zerbi himself has stressed that this is a new project and that Spurs will improve once the team "clicks."

Tottenham have confirmed that Porro is available after missing the previous two games with a muscular problem. Sandro Tonali is also available after missing the Liverpool cup match with a knock. Porro gives Spurs another player capable of providing width and progression from the right. More importantly, his positioning can create an additional passing option when Villa attempt to close down the central areas.

James Maddison's availability could be crucial .Maddison is now considered ready for a larger contribution after making consecutive substitute appearances. If Maddison can operate between Villa's midfield and defence, he could be one of the players capable of solving Tottenham's biggest problem: turning possession into genuinely dangerous chances.

This is a very important early-season fixture for both clubs, but I'd frame it as a test of whether their respective projects can begin producing Premier League results rather than as a season-defining game.
