Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi said it would be an honour for fans to line the streets of N17 to welcome the team.
The gesture comes ahead of a critical final match of the 2025/26 Premier League season. The club faces a relegation decider against Everton on Sunday, a fixture De Zerbi said was the biggest game in the history of the club [1, 2].
Fans have planned a show of support in the N17 postcode of North London, gathering outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium [1]. De Zerbi said the supporters' presence is significant as the team prepares for the high-stakes encounter [1, 2].
Amid the pressure of the potential relegation, De Zerbi addressed his future with the organization. He said that he will stay as manager regardless of the outcome of the match against Everton [2, 3].
This commitment follows the terms of his employment, as De Zerbi signed a five-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur [4]. The manager's decision to remain provides a level of stability for the club during a period of extreme sporting volatility.
The match on Sunday represents the final opportunity for the team to secure its place in the top flight. The support from the community in North London is intended to motivate the squad before the final whistle of the season [1, 2].

By framing the Everton match as the most significant in club history, the manager is leveraging emotional stakes to galvanize both the players and the local community in North London.
