This wasn\u2019t as dominant as \u201cThe Invincibles\u201d, but it was the first time in over 20 years that Arsenal had closed out the league without stumbling down the stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Since Arsenal has claimed its title, they won\u2019t be playing for anything on Sunday, but there\u2019s still one relegation battle to be had on Survival Sunday. Two more London sides will be <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/soccer\/premier-league\/tottenham-hotspur-spurs\/west-ham-standings-relegation-tottenham-news-epl\/\" target=\"_blank\">fighting for their Premier League lives on Sunday<\/a>, and neither was expected to be in this position at the start of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham went from the highest high to the lowest low in just one year. 2025 was an ugly Premier League season for Spurs, but they still managed to win their first European trophy in over 40 years. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong for Spurs this year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-know-about-spurs-going-into-championship-sunday\" class=\" uppercase break-words\">What to know about Spurs going into Championship Sunday<\/h2>\n<p>Roberto De Zerbi will lead Spurs on Championship Sunday, but he\u2019s not the only manager Tottenham\u2019s had this season. Igor Tudor and Thomas Frank were both let go earlier this year after horrific showings. De Zerbi hasn\u2019t been a whole lot better, but he\u2019s kept the ship from going under since taking over.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham isn\u2019t on their first manager this season either. Since moving on from David Moyes in 2024, it\u2019s been ugly for the Irons. These issues have only worsened this season, but they have shown some promise in recent form.<\/p>\n<p>Nuno Espirito Santo has had them playing decently in 2026, but it\u2019s still been a disaster of a season, one that leaves them on the verge of relegation; however, they\u2019ve got a great opportunity on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The final spot in the Premier League is quite simple. If Tottenham gets any points, they stay up; if West Ham wins and Tottenham loses, then they avoid relegation. Tottenham is -110 at home versus Everton, but Spurs haven\u2019t won at home in 2026. West Ham\u2019s entire season rests in the hands of their former manager, David Moyes.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham has a slightly easier final match, where they are -130 favorites against Leeds. The Whites have struggled away from Elland Road, so West Ham has a great opportunity to steal 17th from Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>According to prediction markets, West Ham has an 87% chance of getting relegated. I think there\u2019s some decent juice in betting on them to stay up. Tottenham has had many opportunities to put West Ham away and simply hasn\u2019t. Also, wouldn\u2019t it be fun to see some chaos on the final Sunday of the season?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/deadspin.com\/premier-league-survival-sunday-can-west-ham-pull-off-a-miraculous-escape\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Man City taking a draw against Bournemouth, Arsenal wrapped up its first Premier League title since 2004.
