Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi drew criticism last month after he and his players arrived four hours early and travelled in their own cars to his first home game in charge against Brighton.

At the time, De Zerbi admitted that he had not purposefully made the decision and was simply following the same protocol he previously undertook while in charge at Brighton.

“I didn't know [their plans], but for the next time, if the people ask me to change the plan, no problem for me,” he said.

Now, with the relegation battle with West Ham in the Premier League going down to the final day of the season, the Spurs squad will arrive together at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as a show of solidarity on what promises to be a tense afternoon.

Fan group Change for Tottenham are planning a protest for after the Everton game, regardless of whether or not the club secure Premier League survival.

In a statement released on X, Change for Tottenham confirmed plans to unfurl protest banners at full-time while calling on supporters to “join us to chant against the board and make your voices heard”.

It is the latest in a series of protests by Change for Tottenham against the club’s board.

Spurs remain two points above the bottom three after a 2-1 loss at Chelsea on Tuesday night but would be relegated to the second tier of English football for the first time since 1977 on Sunday if they lose to Everton and rivals West Ham beat Leeds at the London Stadium.

Tottenham would survive with a win regardless of West Ham’s result, while a draw would also be enough thanks to their vastly superior goal difference.
