Draws all around mean it\u2019s as you were in the fight for Premier League survival, although two clubs will be particularly content with their weekend\u2019s work. West Ham once again fought admirably to secure a result against the title-chasing Manchester City, while Tottenham Hotspur reminded their supporters what the concept of hope feels like.<\/p>\n
Tottenham sit on 30 points, Leeds on 32, Nottingham Forest on 29 and West Ham on 29. For Spurs, momentum from a point at Liverpool arrives ahead of a crucial run. Nottingham Forest\u2019s visit to north London next Sunday is a bona fide relegation six-pointer. The second leg of Spurs\u2019 Champions League round of 16 tie with Atl\u00e9tico Madrid arrives before Forest\u2019s visit, but their main goal on Wednesday night, given that they\u2019re 5\u20132 down, must be ensuring that everyone escapes the contest unscathed. They were without as many as 13 players at Anfield.<\/p>\n
Spurs begin April away at Sunderland. Brighton & Hove Albion visit N17 the following week before Tudor\u2019s men take on resurgent bottom dwellers Wolverhampton Wanderers. May begins with a trip to Villa Park.<\/p>\n
Leeds, so improved since Christmas, have been dragged back into the dogfight by a five-game winless run in the top flight. They are at home to surprise European hopefuls Brentford next Saturday night. Upcoming home games against Wolves and Burnley present Daniel Farke\u2019s side with a great opportunity to secure six points. Leeds also travel to Manchester United and mid-table Bournemouth in April.<\/p>\n
West Ham will take confidence from their recent showing against Manchester City and next head to Aston Villa. Nottingham Forest travel to Tottenham and will see that match as a timely chance to recover points in the battle to avoid the drop.<\/p>\n
The scrap looks set to run to the wire, with four teams scrapping to avoid one fatal position. Richarlison, Everton\u2019s savior four years ago, isn\u2019t going to let the Lilywhites succumb to a humiliating relegation, their first in almost 50 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
