- Tottenham Hotspur sit 17th, two points ahead of West Ham with a superior goal difference after a 1-1 draw with Leeds United.
- West Ham United had a potential equaliser by Callum Wilson disallowed by VAR in a 1-0 loss to Arsenal, leaving them 18th and on the brink of relegation.
- Opta's supercomputer assigns West Ham an 80.5% chance of relegation versus Tottenham's 19.5% chance.
- West Ham will travel to St James' Park to face Newcastle United; a win would lift them to 17th and drop Tottenham into the relegation zone.
- Tottenham must travel to Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, where a win is needed to stay up; they have only won there once since 1990.
Why it matters: Tottenham must secure a win at Chelsea to stay up, while West Ham needs a victory at Newcastle; failure for either could see them drop into the Championship, ending their Premier League status.
