West Ham are at a significant disadvantage against Tottenham (in white shirts) in the relegation battle. |
With three games remaining in the season, the scales of survival are heavily tilted in Tottenham's favor. Meanwhile, West Ham are considered the leading candidate for relegation.
According to the latest calculations from the Opta supercomputer, Tottenham's relegation risk has plummeted from 58% to 19%. Conversely, West Ham's relegation probability has skyrocketed from 38% to 80% in just one week.
The spotlight was on Tottenham's 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on May 4th. In a crucial match, Roberto De Zerbi's team displayed a high-energy performance with aggressive pressing and rapid transitions.
While Tottenham pulled ahead, West Ham put themselves in a difficult position. A 0-3 defeat against Brentford sent the London team back into the relegation zone. West Ham also face title contenders Arsenal and Newcastle away before their final match against Leeds United. If they slip up against Arsenal, they could easily fall four points behind Tottenham.
In the safety zone, Leeds United have virtually secured their Premier League survival after a 3-1 win against Burnley. Nottingham Forest are also very close to achieving their goal of staying in the Premier League after a 3-1 victory over Chelsea.
All the data is currently against West Ham. Tottenham have the psychological momentum, Leeds and Forest have created a safe distance, putting Graham Potter's team in a difficult position at a time when the pressure is at its most unbearable.
