Road logistics and thin rosters will test Leeds and Nottingham Forest on the final day after Tottenham and West Ham cut deficits to two points and one point.
West Ham and Tottenham both won Saturday to tighten margins. Joao Palhinha poked Spurs in front to reduce the arrears to West Ham to two points. Callum Wilson scored in stoppage time to restore West Ham’s two-point lead over Spurs. Nottingham Forest matched the relegation-threatened wins on Friday. The three sides now fight to avoid joining Burnley and Wolves in the Championship next season.
Leeds host West Ham and travel to Tottenham for a must-win double. Data show tight May margins often amplify set-piece errors and transition mistakes under fatigue. Survival asks clean-sheet discipline and sharper build-up play in transition. Leeds carry a pattern of late-season collapses while Forest lean on set-piece routines honed under recent coaching. Both rosters carry injury loads that limit rotation options for the decisive fixtures. For complete coverage, see Forest survival margin tight after Spurs and West Ham wins.
