"De Zerbi has been clear that there is no room for complacency, even with momentum firmly behind him after wins over Wolves and Aston Villa in recent weeks. "We have to not forget what the situation was before Wolves. It was a very sad situation and these memories have to stay in our heads," he said after Sunday's 2-1 win at Villa Park. "We have to stay focused for the next game.""
"Should Tottenham win at home to Leeds, they will move onto 40 points with two games remaining, against Chelsea and then Everton. West Ham stay on 36 with two games left against Newcastle and Leeds. From that position, Spurs would need just one win from their final two matches to guarantee survival mathematically. A win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, or at home to Everton on the final day, would put them beyond reach regardless of what West Ham do."
"For West Ham to still stay up from that scenario, they would need to win both of their remaining games and hope Spurs take nothing from Chelsea and Everton. If both those things happen, the Hammers would finish two points above their London foes."
"If Spurs draw against Leeds Tottenham move to 38 points, West Ham remain on 36, with two games remaining each. Both sides would need wins to feel anything close to safe. A Spurs slip against Chelsea combined with a West Ham win at Newcastle, would put the North London club back into the bottom three."
Tottenham host Leeds with three points capable of delivering a major blow to West Ham’s survival hopes. Tottenham are 17th on 37 points and West Ham are 18th on 36, with Tottenham holding a game in hand. Both teams face difficult fixtures in the final two weeks. Roberto De Zerbi emphasizes avoiding complacency and keeping recent struggles in mind while staying focused on the next match. If Tottenham win, they reach 40 points with two matches left, needing only one more win to guarantee survival mathematically. West Ham would need to win both remaining games and rely on Tottenham dropping points. If Tottenham draw or lose, the gap narrows and both sides’ safety becomes more precarious.
