Tottenham are staring down the barrel of the unthinkable: relegation from the Premier League. The tide is not shifting after last-gasp heartbreak was compounded by results not going their way in recent matches.
Leeds United
Position: 15th | Played: 34 | Points: 40 | GD: -7
Remaining fixtures
- 2 May - Burnley (H)
- 9 May - Tottenham (A)
- 17 May - Brighton (H)
- 24 May - West Ham (A)
Leeds have pulled clear of the relegation zone after back-to-back victories against Manchester United and Wolves and a draw away at Bournemouth. They have reached the 40-point mark and will be eyeing the home fixture against Burnley to secure safety. Away games against relegation rivals Tottenham and West Ham also offer opportunities.
Nottingham Forest
Position: 16th | Played: 34 | Points: 39 | GD: -4
Remaining fixtures
- 2 May - Chelsea (A)
- 9 May - Newcastle (H)
- 17 May - Manchester United (A)
- 24 May - Bournemouth (H)
Forest scored a huge 5-0 win at Sunderland on Friday evening, following a victory against Burnley. They have a Europa League semi-final with Aston Villa to navigate, which could be a distraction. A home game against a struggling Newcastle side may be their best chance to pick up points.
West Ham United
Position: 17th | Played: 33 | Points: 33 | GD: -17
Remaining fixtures
- 25 April - Everton (H)
- 2 May - Brentford (A)
- 9 May - Arsenal (H)
- 17 May - Newcastle (A)
- 24 May - Leeds (H)
West Ham have boosted their chances with a 4-0 win over Wolves and a goalless draw at Crystal Palace. The upcoming run of Everton, Brentford, and Arsenal looks tough, but the final two games against Newcastle and Leeds could be decisive.
Tottenham Hotspur
Position: 18th | Played: 33 | Points: 31 | GD: -11
Remaining fixtures
- 25 April - Wolves (A)
- 2 May - Aston Villa (A)
- 9 May - Leeds (H)
- 17 May - Chelsea (A)
- 24 May - Everton (H)
Spurs are winless in 16 league matches. A game away to Wolves is a must-win, and a pivotal clash with Leeds at home is a golden opportunity. However, away games at Aston Villa and Chelsea look tough.
Verdict
This could go in any direction. Leeds have the kindest fixtures and should survive. Forest's last two results were massive, while West Ham's win over Wolves boosted their chances. Spurs are in real trouble and need to turn their form around quickly.
