Tottenham Must Draw With Everton to Stay Ahead of West Ham
Roberto de Zerbi's Tottenham must secure at least a point against Everton to remain in contention to overtake West Ham. A draw would be sufficient if other results go their way.
Their chance to see off West Ham hinges on Nuno Espirito Santo's side delivering a win over Leeds at the London Stadium. A victory for Leeds would leave Tottenham in a favourable position.
Tottenham have collected only 12 points at home this season, the joint‑fewest in the division. This poor home record puts them behind most rivals.
The only other club sharing that low home tally is Burnley, who are already confirmed relegated. Burnley's relegation underscores the difficulty of Tottenham's situation.
The situation places pressure on De Zerbi’s side to improve their home form in the remaining fixtures. Better results at home are essential for their survival hopes.
A positive result against Everton would keep Tottenham’s hopes alive, provided West Ham lose to Leeds. The upcoming matches will determine their final standing.
