Former West Ham United midfielder Jack Wilshere has now given his prediction on which side is most likely to be relegated this season between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United.
Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Monday leaves the battle for survival very much open, as two points remain the difference between the Lilywhites and the Hammers.
Had Tottenham Hotspur managed a win, a four-point lead would have been opened up, reducing some of the pressure heading into the final games of the season.
With everything still to play for, the next few games remain absolutely vital for both sides. Spurs face Chelsea next, while West Ham take on Newcastle United.
Tottenham will be desperate to avoid defeat in their own encounter as, should that happen and West Ham win, the Lilywhites will head into the final game of the season in the drop zone.
