We have predicted the Premier League relegation battle as Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham and Nottingham Forest look avoid falling into the Championship

The battle to avoid the third and final relegation spot is looking increasingly like a three-horse race.

While not officially down, it's hard to see the current bottom two, Wolves and Burnley, getting out of trouble, even if the teams above them keep slipping up. Leeds United, just three points above third-bottom West Ham, are certainly not out of the woods.

But, as it stands, it looks like one of Tottenham, Nottingham Forest or the Hammers will plunge into the Championship. It's been a wretched season for all three clubs, who have had eight managers between them.

That number could rise further with Spurs boss Igor Tudor already under pressure following a disastrous start to his reign. Here are the trio's remaining games and predicted results…

Tottenham

Position: 16th

Points: 29

Goal difference: -7

Liverpool (a): The champions may have had a poor season themselves but it's hard to see Spurs getting anything at Anfield. Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Spurs

Forest (h): The biggest game of the season for both clubs, where not losing will be paramount. Prediction: Spurs 0-0 Forest

Sunderland (a): The Black Cats have dropped away over the second half of the season and Spurs need to take advantage. Potentially, with a new boss at the helm, they could sneak a vital three points. Prediction: Sunderland 1-2 Spurs

Brighton (h): The Seagulls should be completely safe by then. But a team under no pressure is a dangerous one. Prediction: Spurs 1-1 Brighton

Wolves (a): It's too little too late, but Rob Edwards' side is rejuvenated and could be too much for Spurs. Prediction: Wolves 2-0 Spurs

Aston Villa (a): Villa's recent form has been patchy but they're still fighting for Champions League football. Prediction: Villa 3-1 Spurs

Leeds (h): Another monumental game in the battle to avoid the drop. Too close to call. Prediction: Spurs 1-1 Leeds

Chelsea (h): The Blues would love nothing more than to send Spurs down, and they may just get their wish. Prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Spurs

Everton (a): The Toffees may need to win to secure European football. Spurs might need three points to stay up. It could be chaotic. Prediction: Spurs 3-3 Everton

Final points: 36

Forest

Position: 17th

Points: 28

Goal difference: -15

Fulham (h): The sort of game Forest must take points from if they are to beat the drop. Prediction: Forest 2-1 Fulham

Spurs (a): See above

Aston Villa (h): Another home game against a Villa side in iffy form. Prediction: Forest 1-1 Villa

Burnley (h): Must win for Forest to put it mildly, although Burnley will be no pushovers. Prediction: Forest 1-0 Burnley

Sunderland (a): Forest's final game before a very tough run of fixtures. Prediction: Sunderland 1-1 Forest

Chelsea (a): It's hard to see Forest getting anything at Stamford Bridge, unless the Blues continue their habit of ending matches with 10 men. Prediction: Chelsea: 2-0 Forest

Newcastle (h): You don't know what you're going to get with the Magpies but Forest might just catch them on a good day. Prediction: Newcastle 3-1 Forest

Manchester United (a): Against a United team gunning for the Champions League, Forest will have it all to do. Prediction: Man United 2-1 Forest

Aston Villa (a): Villa's form gives the Hammers an opportunity to get something. Prediction: Villa 1-1 West Ham

Wolves (h): Wolves aren't the pushovers they were earlier in the season. This will be tight and tense. Prediction: West Ham 1-1 Wolves

Crystal Palace (a): With little to play for, the Eagles are one the sides you want to play. Prediction: Palace 1-2 West Ham

Everton (h): As Hammers fans know, a David Moyes side is a tough side. Prediction: West Ham 0-0 Everton

Brentford (a): The Hammers will find it tough to breach a side potentially chasing European football. Prediction: Brentford 2-1 West Ham
