Why Spurs have the edge on West Ham in two-way relegation scrap

The Story So Far

West Ham United face a defining period in their campaign as the Premier League relegation struggle appears to have narrowed to a two-way contest. Recent successive victories for Tottenham Hotspur under Roberto De Zerbi have moved the club out of the bottom three, leaving the Hammers currently a single point behind their rivals in the drop zone. With three matches remaining, the televised schedule offers a potential shift in momentum. Because West Ham play earlier in the next round of fixtures, they could climb out of the bottom three before Tottenham travel to face Leeds for their Monday night game.
