Overview
- Spurs, following Monday's 1-1 draw with Leeds, sit two points above West Ham with a stronger goal difference and only two matches left.
- West Ham visit Newcastle before Spurs travel to Chelsea, and a Hammers win at St James' Park could drop Tottenham into the bottom three until Tuesday.
- Betfair makes West Ham odds-on to go down at 1/4, with Spurs at 5/2, while Opta’s model estimates a relegation chance of about 80.5% for West Ham and 19.5% for Spurs.
- Daniel Levy, speaking Wednesday after receiving a CBE, said he feels the “emptiness” of the fight but remains optimistic Spurs will stay up and said he watches every match.
- Manager Roberto De Zerbi urged players to block negative thoughts and “die on the pitch,” as one of the two London clubs will join already-relegated Burnley and Wolves.
