West Ham United host Leeds United this Sunday in a Premier League season finale with genuine relegation stakes — the Hammers must win and hope Tottenham Hotspur slip up if they are to escape the drop.

The relegation picture

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley are already down, but the third and final relegation place remains undecided heading into the last round of fixtures. West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur are the two clubs in the frame, with Spurs holding a two-point lead and a superior goal difference.

Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham Hotspur side will secure their Premier League status unless they lose to Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — and West Ham win at the London Stadium simultaneously. That combination is far from inevitable, but it remains possible.

West Ham's survival push under Nuno Espirito Santo lost momentum with three consecutive defeats, the run beginning with a loss at Brentford earlier this month. A home fixture on the final day, with everything on the line, may offer the Hammers the spark they need.

The Leeds United factor

Daniel Farke's Leeds United arrive at the London Stadium with nothing meaningful to play for. Any hope of a top-half finish has already gone, leaving them with little more than pride and league positions to contest.

Eleven points separate the two sides in the table, and West Ham's recent form suggests they would struggle to beat Leeds regardless of context. That said, a team playing for survival against a side with no pressing motivation is a classic final-day setup — and the psychological edge of desperation cannot be entirely discounted.

Farke and his squad are unlikely to roll over, but the absence of competitive urgency for Leeds is a variable that adds uncertainty to the afternoon.
