LONDON — The fight between West Ham and Tottenham to avoid relegation from the Premier League is headed to the final round.
With one game remaining, West Ham is in third-to-last place — the final relegation spot — and two points behind Tottenham. They are the only teams who can go down with already-relegated Wolverhampton and Burnley.
On Sunday, West Ham is at home to Leeds and Tottenham hosts Everton.
Tottenham has a superior goal difference of +12 compared to West Ham so is highly likely to remain higher if they finish level on points and it comes to that tiebreaker.
Tottenham has been an ever-present in the Premier League since the competition was founded in 1992 and last played in the second tier in the 1977-78 season.
