Roberto de Zerbi's first home Premier League game in charge of Tottenham will be against his former club Brighton on Saturday.
The Italian's tenure started with defeat at Sunderland last Sunday and it was a result that dropped Spurs into the relegation zone after West Ham beat Wolves.
Only one of the previous 13 managers to take charge of Tottenham have lost their first home game and that was De Zerbi's predecessor Igor Tudor in February against Arsenal.
But Spurs' home record this campaign has been a cause for concern.
They have lost 10 of their 16 league games to date at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and four consecutively in recent weeks.
They have only ever lost five in a row once in their league history and that was in February 1994.
Brighton head to the capital having won two of their last four away league games against Spurs, including a 4-1 victory last season.
The Seagulls want points on the board to continue their quest for European football, but De Zerbi will hope to kick-start the new manager bounce and secure Spurs' first league win of 2026.
