With Wolves already relegated and Burnley on the verge of joining them, the focus shifts to the intense struggle between West Ham and Spurs to avoid the drop. Despite being separated by just two points, the stakes are high for both London rivals, with only five games left to play. A missed opportunity for West Ham to gain an advantage over Spurs has left the situation precariously balanced.
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo and his Spurs counterpart Roberto De Zerbi remain optimistic, but the reality of their situation is daunting. The two teams' remaining fixtures will be crucial in determining their fate, with Spurs facing a potentially easier run-in but struggling with a lengthy winless streak and significant injury concerns. In contrast, West Ham has experienced a turnaround in form and boasts a relatively clean bill of health. According to predictions, Spurs are now favored to face relegation, with a 58.3 percent probability, while West Ham's chances stand at 36.9 percent.
The next few games will be pivotal in the battle for survival.
