Antonio Conte has endured a torrid week at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur and has lost three successive league games for the first time since 2009.
The first defeat came late last month when his Spurs side were on the wrong end of a 2-0 score-line when he made his first Premier League return to former side Chelsea.
Though there was an FA Cup victory over Brighton before January turned to February, their return to league action saw them toppled by Southampton in what was one of the most thrilling games of the season.
Spurs took the lead twice against the Saints only to end up losing the contest 3-2 after goals from Mohamed Elyounoussi and Che Adams in quick succession turned the tie on its head.

The visit of Wolves on Sunday marked arguably the most important of the three games given it was their final game in hand over fellow top four rivals and north London neighbours Arsenal.
It got off to a disastrous start when Raul Jimenez pounced on some questionable goalkeeping from Hugo Lloris to lash home on the volley after just six minutes.
Things deteriorated further from Conte's perspective just over 10 minutes later when Leander Dendoncker prodded home from close range to double the visitors lead before there was even 18 minutes on the clock.
