The Premier League title race is settled, but the relegation battle will be decided on the final day. Tottenham head into the weekend two points clear of 18th-placed West Ham and carry a significantly better goal difference.<\/p>\n
Tottenham host Everton at home. Victory will guarantee safety this Sunday and a draw is also likely to be enough given West Ham\u2019s goal difference of -22 compared with Tottenham\u2019s -10. Spurs have won just two league matches at home this season and no team has picked up fewer points at home in the Premier League. Everton have won just one of their last eight games, weakening their push for European places. Tottenham\u2019s Tuesday night defeat to Chelsea kept the West Ham dream alive. No matter what, they know they must win on the final day of the season and rely on Everton and former manager David Moyes doing them an enormous favor across London.<\/p>\n
West Ham finish at home against Leeds United. The Yorkshire side have nothing on the line and have collected four points since being confirmed safe, so they will not be a simple fixture. The Hammers have lost their last three matches, but their recent home form has helped them: a harsh defeat to Arsenal is their only loss at home in their last seven Premier League games. Survival is not out of the question for West Ham.<\/p>\n
The situation is straightforward: Tottenham sit 17th with a goal difference of -10 and 38 points, form DWWDL. West Ham are 18th with a goal difference of -22. Tottenham hold the advantage because of the points gap and superior goal difference, but the final day still offers scenarios that could change the outcome depending on results across the capital. Both clubs will enter their last fixtures aware that the margins are fine and that performance on the day will decide their top-flight status for next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
