This weekend’s Premier League fixtures could prove decisive in the relegation battle, with West Ham, Tottenham, Leeds and Nottingham Forest all in action.Â
As things stand, Tottenham and West Ham appear most at risk of occupying the unwanted third relegation spot, with Spurs sitting 18th on 34 points and the Hammers just above them in 17th with 36 points.Â
It looked as though Tottenham were set to leapfrog West Ham in the table when Spurs struck in the 82nd minute to take a 1-0 lead against Wolves.Â
At the same time, West Ham appeared to be heading for a draw against Everton, with the score level at 1-1 as the game moved into stoppage time.

However, in what could prove to be one of their most significant moments of the season, Callum Wilson struck in the 92nd minute to seal a dramatic 2-1 victory at London Stadium.Â
The late winner not only secured all three points but also ensured West Ham maintained their two-point cushion over Tottenham in the table.
Both sides will be in action this weekend, with West Ham facing Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, while Tottenham travel to Aston Villa.Â
With such pivotal fixtures on the horizon, it’s worth taking a look at the latest relegation odds from Sky Bet.
At the time of writing, Spurs are the best-backed side to go down at 4/6, with West Ham close behind at 5/4. Nottingham Forest are third in the betting at 14/1, while Leeds are considered the outsiders of the group at 28/1.
Forest, who sit 16th with 39 points, face a tough trip to Chelsea on Monday but arrive in encouraging form, having picked up three wins and a draw from their last four league matches.
Leeds, meanwhile, would require a significant collapse to be dragged into trouble. They currently sit 15th, six points clear of Tottenham, and return to league action tonight when they host 19th-placed Burnley at Elland Road.
