How Tottenham’s Final Fixtures Compare to Relegation Rivals West Ham
One of Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are heading to the Championship, that much seems all but guaranteed.
Nottingham Forest’s incredible run of recent form—15 points from a possible 21, including a 5–0 trouncing of Sunderland—has put the beaten Europa League semifinalists seven ahead of West Ham with just two games of the Premier League season remaining.
The Hammers’ plight to stay up took another massive blow on Sunday after they suffered a heartbreaking and controversial 1–0 defeat to Arsenal. Nuno Espírito Santo’s men remain in the drop zone—and time is running out to save their place in the English top-flight.
Spurs are only a point ahead of West Ham, thanks to two wins on the spin, but they have the opportunity to widen the gap on Monday when they take on Leeds United. Tottenham can’t afford to rest on their laurels even though things appear to be clicking into place under former Brighton & Hove Albion and Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi.
Tottenham and West Ham’s Remaining Fixtures Compared
Tottenham (17th, 37 points) | West Ham (18th, 36 points) |
|---|---|
Leeds (H) - May 11, 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. ET | – |
Chelsea (A) - May 19, 8.15 p.m. BST / 3.15 p.m. ET | Newcastle (A) - May 17, 5.30 p.m. BST / 12.30 p.m. ET |
Everton (H) - May 24, 4 p.m. BST / 11 a.m. ET | Leeds (H) - May 24, 4 p.m. BST / 11 a.m. ET |
While Tottenham supporters have actively rooted against their own to ensure previous Arsenal Premier League title bids have gone up in smoke, the fanbase were all but unified in their support of the Gunners on Sunday.
Victory for Mikel Arteta’s side greatly aided Spurs’ survival bid, especially as they’re hosting a Leeds team that may be taking their foot off the gas in May, given that they’re pretty much safe.
After that, Spurs visit Stamford Bridge in a midweek clash after Chelsea’s FA Cup final with Manchester City. It’s a fixture that will evoke memories of the “Battle of the Bridge” from a decade ago, when the Blues fought back from 2–0 down to earn the point that sealed the league title for miracle-workers Leicester City.
West Ham are up at Newcastle United on the penultimate weekend, perhaps encouraged by their win at St. James’ Park last season. Newcastle did stop the rot against Brighton & Hove Albion, but won’t be playing for much in their final home outing of 2025–26.
Both teams are at home on the final day, with Spurs hosting Everton and West Ham facing Leeds—a side who have already triumphed at London Stadium this season in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
