The final stages of the 2025-26 Premier League season are fast approaching, and both West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur are looking to secure their futures in the league. 

Tottenham Hotspur’s draw with Leeds United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and West Ham United’s contentious defeat to Arsenal mean that both sides are still in serious danger of losing their top-flight status. 

Here is how Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United can still survive relegation:

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham still has its fate in its own hands, leading West Ham by two points with two games to spare. A pair of wins would confirm its safety, while a win and a draw would likely be enough as well given its superior goal difference. Any defeats, however, and it leaves itself reliant on West Ham’s result to be sure of safety. 

Remaining fixtures: Chelsea (A), Everton (H)

West Ham United

West Ham United needs Spurs to lose at least once if it is to stay in the league now. Two wins would keep it up if Spurs loses at least once, while a single win would be sufficient if Spurs was to lose twice. 

Remaining fixtures: Newcastle United (A), Leeds United (H)
