The Premier League relegation battle is heating up, with Wolves already down and Burnley on the brink. Leeds and Nottingham Forest have created some distance between themselves and the drop zone, leaving West Ham and Spurs to fight for survival. The two London clubs are separated by just two points, and with only five games remaining, the pressure is mounting.
West Ham's goalless draw with Crystal Palace may be seen as a missed opportunity, as a win would have given them some breathing room. Spurs, under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi, are looking to build momentum, but their winless run in the Premier League now stands at 15 games. The Italian manager believes his team can win their remaining five games, but they face a tough test against Wolves.
West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo is also optimistic, but his team's schedule is challenging, with games against Arsenal and Newcastle. Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are on a five-game unbeaten run and may only need one more win to secure safety.
The relegation probability, according to Opta, favors West Ham, with Spurs given a 58.3% chance of going down. The battle for survival is intense, and the next few weeks will be crucial in determining the fate of these teams.
