West Ham's Survival Bid: Predicted Final Table and Run-In Analysis
West Ham United are edging closer to Premier League safety, but their survival battle remains fiercely contested. The Hammers made incremental progress over the weekend, though perhaps not as much as they would have desired. West Ham drew at home against a challenging AFC Bournemouth side, while later witnessing Nottingham Forest suffer a stoppage-time defeat to Liverpool on Sunday. This resulted in a one-point gain over the East Midlands club.
Tottenham Hotspur also experienced a setback, losing their North London derby to Arsenal, while Leeds United managed a draw with Aston Villa. Consequently, West Ham now find themselves two points behind Nottingham Forest and four points adrift of Tottenham. Leeds United appear to be gradually distancing themselves from the immediate relegation threat.
The Current Relegation Picture
With the relegation battle intensifying, here is the current standings for the teams involved. Wolves have been excluded from this analysis due to the near certainty of their relegation.
- 15th - Leeds United - 31 points
