Tottenham's Run‑In Gives Edge as West Ham Faces Tough Relegation Fight

With five games left, Tottenham’s schedule looks more forgiving than many rivals, giving the North London club a realistic chance to cling to the Premier League. A trip to Wolves, who are already eyeing a Championship return, follows a home clash with Leeds on May 11 – a match they hope to win after Leeds’ recent victory over Burnley.

West Ham face a tougher run‑in, opening with Everton before travelling to Brentford and then hosting title‑chasing Arsenal on May 10. A loss at Sunderland on Friday could leave Vitor Pereira’s side scrambling for points, while an away game at Newcastle later in the month adds further pressure. Their relegation battle now hinges on converting limited chances against direct rivals.

Forest and Newcastle also have daunting calendars, with Forest travelling to Chelsea and Manchester United before their Europa League semi‑final second leg, while Newcastle must endure an away game at St James’ Park and a decisive home match against Leeds on the final day. As the table tightens, every fixture becomes a potential six‑pointer, and survival will be decided by the narrowest margins.
