In a dramatic finale to the Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur, a club that won the Europa League last year and reached the knockout stages of the Champions League this season, now faces the possibility of relegation to the second tier of English football for the first time in 48 years. After losing 2-1 to Chelsea, Spurs now have 38 points, just two points above the 18th place held by West Ham, which marks the relegation zone. With only one relegation spot left, the battle for survival has been narrowed down to these two London clubs.

Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers have already mathematically been relegated, leaving Tottenham and West Ham as the only candidates for the final relegation spot. In the last match of the season, Tottenham will host Everton on Sunday at 3 PM, while West Ham will host Leeds United.

Tottenham remains in the league if:

1. They win or draw against Everton. In this case, West Ham cannot catch up in points.

2. They lose to Everton, but West Ham does not win against Leeds. If West Ham draws or loses, Tottenham will remain in the league regardless of their own result.

3. They lose to Everton, and West Ham wins against Leeds, but a miraculous turnaround in goal difference does not occur. Theoretically, if both teams end up with 38 points, Tottenham’s superior goal difference (-10 to -22) makes it almost impossible for West Ham to catch up.

West Ham remains in the league if:

They win against Leeds and Tottenham loses to Everton. This is the only realistic scenario for West Ham to survive. A victory would put them on 39 points, while a loss for Tottenham would leave them on 38 points, relegating Spurs to the Championship.
