**We all know what has to happen for us to stay in the Premier League now: we need to beat Leeds, and Everton need to beat Tottenham Hotspur.**
Neither the opposition of the Spurs nor us really have anything to play for; Leeds could maybe go up to 11th if results go their way, while Everton could potentially finish as high as ninth.
However, Everton manager David Moyes has excited fans in his pre-match press conference. He said: “I would love to keep West Ham in the league if I can do, but it is more important I get Everton that top-half finish.”
This is convincing for us, but it’s just words; let’s hope Moyesy backs up his word and fields a strong and motivated team at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
If he does, then the Toffees will be the overwhelming favourites to win the game, considering Spurs’ awful home record this season.
So we’ve distinguished, Everton have a real chance of beating Spurs, but that would only be half of the job. We simply HAVE to win this match, we don’t have any other choice.
Luckily, Leeds have even less to play for, yes, they’d like to finish higher and earn a bit more prize money, but the fact their safe already is monumental for them and their manager, Daniel Farke.
Not only that, but their squad is also riddled with injuries. They are set to be without up to nine players, including the likes of Sean Longstaff, Anton Stach, Noah Okafor, and Jaden Bogle.
It’s still highly unlikely, no West Ham fan should be going into this thinking we’re going to stay up, but there’s a real chance.
Let’s hope it all goes to plan. COYI!!!!
