    The poor investment from the West Ham board is also why I don't see us coming back up any time soon. On paper, you reinvest the decent amount of money we're likely to get for our outgoings this summer. The reality is that none of the players we signed after Declan Rice was sold have succeeded.

    Tottenham may have endured a season to forget, but have come good at the right time under new manager Roberto de Zerbi, picking up seven points from their last three matches.

    That run has seen them leapfrog West Ham to move out of the relegation places.

    But De Zerbi said his players "must remain humble" as they look to boost their survival hopes with a win at home to Leeds United tonight.

    "First of all, we are playing against one of the best teams in the league, in this moment," the Spurs boss said.

    "In the past five or six games, they won against Manchester United, they drew in Bournemouth playing well, they won at home two times - Wolves and Burnley - and for that we have a big respect.

    "We can't think in a different way. We have to keep this mentality. We must remain humble. Nothing has changed. We have to prepare for an important game."

    Tottenham climbed out of the relegation zone with a surprise 2-1 win at fifth-placed Aston Villa and can move four points clear of West Ham with two matches remaining, if they win at home to Leeds tonight.

  5. Away form boosting Spurs survival hopespublished at 13:44 BST

    Tottenham v Leeds (20:00 BST)

    Tottenham away form

    Back-to-back wins have alleviated the gloom for Tottenham fans, taken them out of the bottom three and put their Premier League destiny back into their own hands.

    Remarkably, they go into this weekend sitting third in the away form table - only behind title chasers Arsenal and Manchester City (albeit having played a game more than a few of their rivals below them).

    A whopping 70.3% of Spurs' points have come on the road, the highest proportion of away points won by any team in any Premier League season. However, a figure skewed in that direction normally ends badly.

    There's no secret as to why they are where they are in the league. Their abysmal record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - in which they have won only twice, accrued 11 points and scored only 20 goals in their 17 matches - tells its own story.

    They have lost 10 league matches at home in successive seasons and a further defeat would see them equal the club record of 11 set in the 1991-92 season.

    They do at least have the advantage of boasting an excellent recent record against Leeds. The Yorkshire side haven't won on any of their last six visits to Spurs, dating back to 2001, and have only won two of their last 15 encounters in all competitions.

    West Ham's relegation rivals Tottenham will play two of their remaining three games at home - against Leeds United on Monday (tonight) and Everton on the final day.

    For most teams that would be seen as an advantage.

    But Spurs have struggled at home all season...

  7. Toughest relegation battle in yearspublished at 13:37 BST

    If West Ham go down, they will have paid the price for stronger teams around the bottom of the Premier League this season.

    As mentioned, they are on 36 points with two games to play. Eeven if they lose both their remaining games, that would be the highest total to be relegated in a decade.

    Newcastle went down with 37 points in 2015-16. In the past two seasons nobody got relegated with 30 points or more. Just two years ago Nottingham Forest stayed up with 32 points.

    Since the Premier League moved to 20 teams in 1995-96, 36 points has been the average needed for safety.

    Unfortunately for Nuno Espirito Santo and West Ham, the teams above them started picking up points at the key stage of the season.

    The Hammers' own form is not poor - they are 11th in the six-game form table.

    But Forest top that table - and are unbeaten in eight games - and Leeds are fifth despite only playing five games in that time. They are unbeaten in six matches.

    And Spurs - in 17th place - have won their last two matches under new manager Roberto de Zerbi.

    The reality with West Ham is they have all been below par. Bowen has looked a shadow of what he used to be, their only bright sparks are Summerville and Fernandes. However, constantly setting up for draws and sitting back constantly is dampening their game. They have themselves to blame.

  9. Is Newcastle away the toughest possible fixture?published at 13:28 BST

    What do you think of West Ham's final two fixtures, Hammers fans?

    In any other season, their penultimate fixture - Newcastle away - would be regarded as one of their toughest.

    The Magpies generally have a proud home record in the Premier League, but they have lost seven of their 18 league games at St James' Park this season, including five of their last seven.

    In fact, West Ham won the reverse fixture 3-1 in November and claimed a 2-0 win at Newcastle in the Premier League last season.

    I'm not sure if West Ham are capable of stringing two wins together now, but it's entirely possible for them to equal their own record of 42 points whilst being relegated.

    Will, Nottingham

    That is true. West Ham would finish on 42 points with two wins.

    The Hammers set that record in the 2002-03 season, when they finished in 18th place on 42 points.

    Bolton Wanderers beat Middlesbrough at home on the final day to reach 44 points and stay up in 17th place.

    West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen was not sugar-coating the task facing the Hammers, but he wasn't about to shy away from it either in his post match interview on Sunday.

    "It's going to be tough," agreed the England winger, echoing the sentiments of manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

    "We never say never at this club. We have two games left. We did a lot of good things on Sunday. We have to win."

    People getting carried away saying this decision is why West Ham will be relegated. If you think yesterday’s 1 point is the difference, then you’re ignoring the run from September to October of Spurs, Palace, Everton, Arsenal, Brentford, Leeds. 1 point from those 6 games is why they will go.

    Lack of consistency in officiating upsetting - Espirito Santo

    Back to West Ham...

    Manager Nuno Espirito Santo conceded after Sunday's defeat at home to Arsenal that his side now faces an uphill battle to remain in the Premier League.

    "It's going to be tough," the Hammers boss told BBC Sport.

    "It's not in our hands. We fight for it and we will keep on fighting. It is our responsibility - we represent a huge club and it's our obligation to go for it in these last two games."

    West Ham's last season outside the top flight was 2011-12.

  17. How soon could West Ham be relegated?published at 12:50 BST

    Emlyn Begley
    BBC Sport reporter

    West Ham could feasibly be relegated on Sunday - with a week of the Premier League season to go.

    That would happen if Tottenham beat Leeds tonight (Monday) and the Hammers lose at Newcastle next weekend.

    Spurs, who are one point above the Hammers with a game in hand, will be safe if they win two of their final three games.

    After playing Leeds, they face Chelsea away and then Everton at home on the final day.

    West Ham, who host Leeds on the final day, will need to pick up at least two points more than Spurs because of a significantly inferior goal difference.

    It is fair to point out that West Ham have won just nine, drawn nine and lost 18 of their 36 matches so far this season.

    That record - especially in the early part of the season, before current manager Nuno Espirito Santo got to grips with the team's issues and started to turn results around - has put West Ham in a perilous position...

    West Ham 0-1 Arsenal

    We took a deep dive into Sunday's crucial VAR decision this morning, and have since been looking at Arsenal's dramatic win against West Ham and its implications at both ends of the Premier League table.

    The game - and perhaps this season's title race - was defined by a Hammers equaliser that was disallowed following VAR intervention - and there's been no shortage of debate on the call.

    Here's a look at everything we have looked at so far:
