English Premier League Betting Odds: Tottenham holds edge over West Ham to avoid relegation

With one match to go in the English Premier League season, Arsenal has been crowned champions for the fourth time in the Premier League era.

Now it’s time to take a look at the bottom of the table with the race to avoid relegation in full swing. Burnley and Wolverhampton are already guaranteed relegation next season, while Tottenham and West Ham are battling for survival.

Let’s get into it.

English Premier League relegation

Despite a midweek loss against Chelsea, Tottenham is in a decent position heading into the final match of the season with a two-point lead over West Ham. Spurs are one spot above the relegation line with 38 points as they seek to continue a streak that has seen them play in England’s top division since the 1978-79 season.

Sitting at 36 points, West Ham’s 3-1 loss against Newcastle last week was devastating as it holds them at 18th place in the league table, the final relegation spot. The Hammers, who have played in the Premier League since the 2012-13 season, will now need to win their finale against 14th-place Leeds to have a shot at avoiding relegation.

Tottenham essentially controls their own destiny. Even if Spurs finish with a draw against Everton on Sunday and West Ham beats Leeds, both teams will finish with 39 points and Tottenham advances because their -10 goal differential easily clears West Ham’s -22 mark.

So, to make things easy, here’s all the possible scenarios for relegation:

Tottenham wins + West Ham any result = West Ham relegated

Tottenham draws + West Ham any result = West Ham relegated

Tottenham loses + West Ham wins = Tottenham relegated

West Ham loses or draws + Tottenham any result = West Ham relegated
