Results that Affect Tottenham Hotspur in the Relegation Zone
For this relegation battle, it is in Tottenham Hotspur's hands to decide the outcome of who gets relegated.
If Tottenham beats Everton, Tottenham will remain in the Premier League and will not need to worry about West Ham United's result against Leeds, and West Ham will be relegated to the Championship.
If Tottenham draws with Everton, they will need West Ham United not to win by 13 goals. A draw from Spurs practically secures them Premier League football next season due to the high number of goals West Ham needs to score and win by.
If Tottenham loses to Everton, they would need West Ham United to avoid winning to stay. If Spurs lose and West Ham United beats Leeds United, Spurs will be relegated from the Premier League.
All pressure is on West Ham United, who need to win no matter what to have a chance at staying in the Premier League. If West Ham doesn't win, they will be relegated.
