Surely It’s between spurs and West Ham now, but stranger things have happened.

Tough fixtures all round.

If spurs don’t win at wolves though it’s not looking great for them..

Their game against Chelsea will be also rearranged if Chelsea get to the FA Cup final. I wouldn't thin Chelsea would want to play that before then so Spurs might have their last 2 games in the space of 4 days.

C'mon you Wolves!

 

[Ring master]

C'mon you Wolves!

I don't think many have thought about that Wolves and West Ham could both lost the W/E. It is more than possible, like anything

 

[Fonzy]

And a Moyesiah contract extension.

Booooooo

Forest are safe I'd imagine as for the other 2 both sets of fans will be looking at their games V Us and Leeds as winnable games and Spurs fans looking at Wolves as another winnable game, If spurs lose to Wolves its curtains regardless of how West Ham do against us. Losing to the already relegated bottom team when you are in a fight would be disaster for them with their players looking like they don't care, they'll pack it in altogether if they lose this one.

I dunno. Wolves last 3 homes games beat RS and Villa and drew with Arse. I expect a draw at best for them but still see them survive

City to smash Burnley tonight to get them to top of the table and dramatically improving goal difference and confirming Burnley relegation!

Also Leeds to hopefully get at least a point against the cherries. More pressure on Spuds and Bournemouth not getting away from us!

That's the dream for tonight, but Bournemouth are flying and far too good for them.

Anyway, here's hoping!

good point for leeds

i’d still be somewhat worried if i wss them but 40 points…. got to be safe surely

It’s looking very likely that Leeds might be safe from relegation by the time they play spurs

it’s a shame that the game could effectively be meaningless for Leeds

Doubt they take it easy…seems eveyone wants them down

Leeds have shown more tenacity in the fight to stay up, than Spuds have.
Tonight being a prime example… Fighting until the last minute of stoppage time, and equalising.

99.9% safe. I'd bet my house on it.

West Ham's fixture against Brentford has come at a great time for them, what with Brentford's form having tailed off massively in the last month or so. Five consecutive draws, yet still high enough up the table to know a Europa League place is in their hands. Hopefully it can be turned into six games without victory.

Still, if West Ham stretch the gap to three points over Spurs, it's not done. Spurs' goal difference means they only need to gain three points more from the remaining fixtures over West Ham and they'll stay up.

I think Spurs have an ideal run of fixtures really though:
Villa - guaranteed to finish top five and can rest players for the Europa League
Leeds - basically safe already, no longer going into games worrying about the drop
Chelsea - probably the best team in the league to be playing right now
Everton - if you ever need a game to turn around your run of awful form, we are the team.

Luckily West Ham have to play Leeds and Everton at home too so you can also pencil them in as definite wins for them if you want.

i dont think leeds are giving up in any of those games especially west ham and spurs
