Premier League relegation battle: Are Spurs or West Ham more likely to stay up? | OneFootball

A win over Leeds United on Monday would have brought Tottenham to the brink of Premier League survival. 

Unfortunately for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, they were unable to get the job done, drawing 1-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

Victory would have put them four points ahead of relegation rivals West Ham with two games remaining, but as it stands, they are still only two points above the dreaded drop zone. 

But who is more likely to stay up out of the two London clubs? We’ve taken a look into who looks better placed to be playing Premier League football next season… 

Tottenham Hotspur

According to the Opta Supercomputer, Spurs are understandably favoured to secure Premier League survival. Opta rank De Zerbi’s side as having just an 18.7% chance of going down to the Championship, which should provide fans with some hope. 

What will not provide them with hope, however, is their dreadful home form. Unlike these trustworthy UK slots games platforms Spurs have shown they cannot be trusted to deliver on home turf. They have not won a Premier League game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since December 6. 

With that in mind, playing away might actually be a positive for Tottenham, though their upcoming trip to fierce rivals Chelsea is not an easy task. Tottenham also have a torrid record at Stamford Bridge. 

Their final game of the season sees them take on Everton at home, who could well be pushing for European qualification. Win one of those two and it is likely they will stay up, but that looks far easier said than done. 

West Ham United

There is no doubting that West Ham have been a much better side since Nuno Espirito Santo had the opportunity to rebalance his squad in the January transfer window. Their form since January has been stronger than Spurs. Over the last 13 games, West Ham would sit 11th while Spurs would be down in 18th. 

But more recent evidence is more concerning for the Hammers. They have lost their last two games, a 3-0 defeat at Brentford and 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal. In both games, however, they were competitive despite the defeats, particularly against league leaders Arsenal where they had a late equaliser controversially ruled out. 

Unlike Spurs, they will be encouraged by the prospect of playing at home. West Ham have picked up 19 points at home this season compared to Tottenham’s 12. 

Their final game of the season sees them take on already safe Leeds at the London Stadium, which follows a trip to an out of sorts Newcastle United side. 

West Ham winning both would certainly be a surprise but winning one and Spurs failing to win either of their two remaining ties looks entirely plausible.
