'Void of leaders' - The problems for bottom-side Spurs after winless start

When Aston Villa went 1-0 up in north London, it felt inevitable that Tottenham would head into the international break winless in the Premier League.

Last month's 3-2 home loss to Villa was the 47th game in this dismal run (D11 L36). "It is a worry, certainly at home because that's where you need the minerals," former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood told a special Sky Sports Spurs podcast.
