Tottenham's season is in danger of petering out.
In the space of 10 days, Spurs have slipped out of the FA Cup, dropped seven points behind Chelsea in the race for the top four and been knocked out of the Champions League.
Things can only get better, right?
Well, Spurs host Manchester United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League this Sunday - a resurgent United side who have not lost since January 22.
And the Red Devils go into the game in buoyant mood having claimed the bragging rights in a derby day victory over City at Old Trafford last weekend.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ridden through the United storm and come out of the other side with questions over his future as manager gradually drying up.
His predecessor at Old Trafford is finding the going tough in north London though. And defeat to his old club would really ramp up the pressure on Jose Mourinho this weekend.
Former Rangers boss Ally McCoist believes Mourinho needs to be given time to make things work at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Speaking on TalkSport, McCoist outlined the "big difference" between Solskjaer and Mourinho.
He said: "I think Jose has the same problem as Pochettino, he needs to freshen up, bring new players in. They've lose [Danny] Rose, [Christian] Eriksen, they've had horrendous injuries, it's not an excuse, its another reason why they're not doing well.
"Mourinho must be given an opportunity to bring new players into Tottenham.
"The big difference between a team like Spurs and Manchester United is that Manchester United's signings at this moment in time are improving the team - [Bruno] Fernandes, [Aaron] Wan-Bissaka, [Daniel] James, [Harry] Maguire, they're definitely improving Manchester United and I think Mourinho deserves the opportunity to do that at Spurs."
