Premier League relegation battle: Will it be Tottenham or West Ham who survive?

It was hard not to feel defeated after West Ham‘s controversial home loss to Arsenal on Sunday.

But Spurs’ draw with Leeds means there’s still a lot of hope that the great escape is on in east London.

If it does go down to the final day, then it’s hard to look past West Ham winning. With just one loss from their past seven home games (W3, D3), the fans in a similar voice as they were against the Gunners on Sunday and Leeds having nothing to play for, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will be clear favourites.

If the gap is still two points, then of course West Ham will need former boss David Moyes to do them a favour by beating Spurs away with Everton. A draw won’t do because West Ham‘s goal difference is considerably worse. But an Everton win isn’t entirely out of the question, given they’ll probably need a victory for a chance of qualifying for Europe, while Spurs have just two home wins to their name all season.

Ideally, West Ham will have their destiny in their hands on the final day, without needing Everton to get something at Spurs. If that’s how it’s set up, I back us to get the job done. If not, having to rely on results elsewhere is far from ideal.

Either way, this coming weekend is absolutely huge. West Ham could be relegated by Monday night, or they could be 90 minutes from Premier League survival.

I’m not sure my heart can take any more.
