After back-to-back wins and four league games unbeaten, Farke’s men are the team in form, while Tottenham<\/a> have not won a league game in 2026 and only two since 26 October.<\/p>\n

Leeds<\/a> also appear to have, on paper, the most favourable remaining fixtures with a home match against a Burnley<\/a> team who may already have had relegation confirmed before travelling to Elland Road on 1 May.<\/p>\n

Trips to Tottenham<\/a> and West Ham<\/a>, on the final day of the season, follow and given the buffer they have to their relegation rivals, avoiding defeat would likely represent a win for the Whites.<\/p>\n

By contrast, after facing Burnley<\/a>, at least four of Forest’s last five games will be against teams in the mix to qualify for Europe with away games at Chelsea<\/a> and Manchester United<\/a> looking particularly tricky.<\/p>\n

It is a similar story for West Ham<\/a> with the compact nature of the league – just seven points separate sixth and 14th – meaning pretty much every team still has something to play for.<\/p>\n

The Hammers might actually be hoping Leeds<\/a> are one of the few whose thoughts have turned to the beach if Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are still in danger of going down come the final day.<\/p>\n

Spurs may have no better chance of breaking their duck in 2026 than next weekend’s game at Wolves<\/a>, whose own relegation could be confirmed on Monday.<\/p>\n

The home match against Leeds<\/a> on 11 May is another they would view as an opportunity – but then every game falls into the must-win category for Roberto de Zerbi’s side at the moment.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Burnley<\/a> must essentially win all six of their remaining fixtures – including games against Manchester City<\/a> and Arsenal<\/a> – to have any chance.<\/p>\n

And Wolves<\/a>? Well, they require a 100% end to the season, both Spurs and West Ham<\/a> to lose every game and a 20-goal swing on goal difference. Simple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After back-to-back wins and four league games unbeaten, Farke’s men are the team in form, while Tottenham have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":538510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-538509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=538509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=538509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=538509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
