Ange Postecoglou is reportedly expected to remain in charge of Tottenham for the capital club's upcoming run of matches and has the full backing of the board.

Spurs slipped to another disappointing defeat over the weekend, despite Postecoglou's men having raced to a two-goal lead against Chelsea inside the opening 15 minutes.

Jadon Sancho's strike reduced the deficit before the break, but an Enzo Fernandez leveller and two Cole Palmer penalties gave Chelsea what proved to be an unassailable lead.

Son Heung-min set up a grandstand finish with Spurs' third in added time, however, it was too little too late as Tottenham lost again.

It now means Spurs have won just one of their previous seven outings across all competitions, of which, four have been defeats.

The pressure is mounting on Postecoglou, but any Spurs fans hoping for a change in the managerial department might be forced to wait a little longer.

As per The Telegraph, Spurs aren't looking to make any knee-jerk decisions on Postecoglou's future, with the hierarchy convinced he's the best man to lead them out of their current rut.

The report did state that things could change if Tottenham's form continues to spiral downwards.

A banana skin trip to Ibrox to face Rangers awaits Tottenham on Thursday, before a trip to relegation candidates Southampton on Sunday.

After that, a potentially season-defining run of fixtures comes before the New Year, with a League Cup quarter-final against Manchester United to come, as well as the visit of Liverpool in the Premier League.

It doesn't get much easier after that, as European challengers Nottingham Forest, who currently sit six places above Spurs in the table, are next up on the schedule.

Postecoglou will be crossing his fingers and hoping he can inspire his team to a change in fortunes.

Speaking after Tottenham's defeat in north London, Postecoglou said:"We started the game really well but as our season has been going, we lose [Cristian] Romero after 20 minutes and that disrupts us a bit and they score straight after.

"We had moments to get our third and at half-time we were in a decent position. The second half is a ding dong, especially at the start, they scored but we had a big chance with Son, we didn't take it and then they 3-2 up.

"I thought both penalties were poor decision by us, we have to show more discipline. In the end the critical moments got us. I think there were quality opportunities but I don't think there was an abundance of them. I can't remember the keepers making a load of top quality saves.

"We more than matched a good side in that department and when there is quality out there you are going to have moments. There were things we could have done better for sure."
