The battle to avoid the Premier League drop looks set to go to the wire this season.
With Wolves and Burnley already having their relegation to the Championship confirmed, there is one more spot to fill, and there are two teams still in danger.
Leeds United and Nottingham Forest pulled away from trouble having timed their best runs of form perfectly.
If the two sides finish level on points, who gets relegated from the Premier League?
That leaves London rivals West Ham and Tottenham in a scrap to avoid dropping down, with the Hammers on 36 points, two behind Spurs, who currently sit 17th. Roberto De Zerbi’s side have a sizeable advantage in terms of goal difference after the Hammers' 3-1 loss at Newcastle: West Ham's is -22, while Tottenham's is -9.
If Spurs beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, their safety will be confirmed before their final day clash with Everton. A draw or a defeat, though, and West Ham will still be in with a chance when they host Leeds on Sunday.
With a nerve-shredding finish on the cards, this is a relegation battle that could be settled by the thinnest of margins, so should Spurs and West Ham be level on points and goal difference - which would now require a significant swing - how will relegation be decided?
As with the rest of the division, points scored is the first criterion to decide these matters, followed by goal difference.
It’s then onto goals scored, with Spurs having netted 46 times and West Ham 43, making this another wafer-thin differential between the two relegation-haunted London teams.
Should the two sides find themselves locked on points, goal difference and also goal scored, their place in the table would be settled by the two teams’ head-to-head record.
Specifically, Premier League rules dictate that the team who collected the most points in the two sides’ head-to-head matches settles the tie breaker, followed by the team who scored the most away goals in these head-to-head matches.
So, it’s back to this season’s two matches between Spurs and the Irons.
Way back in September, Tottenham claimed a 3-0 win at the London Stadium against the ten-man Hammers, before the Hammers got their revenge with a 2-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
With the two teams claiming three points apiece in their head-to-head, it would then go down to the away goals scored rule.
That would then mean that Micky Van de Ven’s 64th-minute strike in Spurs’ win at West Ham, which on the day seemed like the cherry on top of a comfortable win for Spurs, could end up being one of the most important goals in the club’s modern-day history.
