OK, we did say we have had a lot of messages on Tottenham, didn’t we?

It’s only fair to say at this point that there are other clubs in the Premier League currently staring down the barrel of relegation.

Only three points separate Leeds United in 15th and West Ham in 18th – the third and final relegation place.

But yes, Tottenham are just one point above the drop zone, while both West Ham and 17th-placed Nottingham Forest are level on 28 points.

Despite the fight for survival looking like it’s going to go down to the wire, Opta still has the Hammers as heavy favourites to go down from these sides, even after their 1-0 win over Fulham last night.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have a 52.72% chance of playing in the Championship next season, with Forest the next most likely at 29.92%.

Strugglers Spurs and Leeds both have just over an 8% chance of relegation, but things could change in the coming weeks, with many of these sides coming up against each other before the season is up.
