The full picture

Tottenham Hotspur have not won three consecutive Premier League games in 616 days, a feat that has eluded them through three managerial changes. Roberto De Zerbi's team has won against Coventry City and Chelsea, setting up a crucial match against Crystal Palace. A victory would propel Spurs into the top half of the table and potentially heal their psyche, according to Sky Sports.

Under De Zerbi, Tottenham have shown improved discipline and control, adopting a tactical plan with an aggressive man-to-man press. They have forced more high turnovers and won more possessions in the final third than most teams since he took charge in March. De Zerbi aims to change the mentality of the club, referencing the positive days under Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs have also shown physical and tactical improvements, running further and harder, and conceding fewer high-probability chances. De Zerbi's strategy has yielded positive results, but consolidation is needed to prove their progress is sustainable. Keeping key players fit is crucial, as seen with James Maddison's impact on their performance, as reported by Sky Sports.

How we label and update stories

Source context

By the time Saturday rolls around, it will have been 616 days since Tottenham last won three Premier League games on the bounce. Three different managers have come and gone since the feat was last achieved, none able to steer Spurs to a streak of more than two. Roberto De Zerbi is the latest boss to try his hand at the hat-trick. Wins over Coventry City and Chelsea have preceded this weekend's meeting with Crystal Palace, live on Sky Sports. The elusive treble is within reach. To right such a wrong would be a huge stepping stone for Spurs under De Zerbi. Not only would the result propel them into the top half of the table, but its potential to heal the wounded Spurs psyche would surely be invaluable.
