A supercomputer has now predicted the outcome of the clash between West Ham United and Leeds United at the London Stadium this weekend, and the results make for concerning reading for Tottenham Hotspur.
Of the two sides currently embroiled in a relegation scrap, Tottenham Hotspur are the ones who hold the advantage.
As it stands, the Lilywhites have their fate in their own hands heading into the final game of the season, needing just a draw against Everton to secure safety, thanks to their two-point lead and an enormous goal difference over West Ham United.
The Hammers, on the other hand, need a favour from elsewhere if they are to secure their Premier League status, with everything now finely poised heading into the final weekend.
Nuno’s side will be hoping Everton beat Spurs on the final day, while West Ham beat Leeds United, as that is the only combination that would ensure the Hammers survival.
Tottenham relegation twist as supercomputer predicts West Ham vs Leeds outcome
With so much still on the line, Opta’s supercomputer has now delivered its prediction for the clash between West Ham United and Leeds United.
The AI model has backed the Hammers to come away with all three points, a result that would significantly boost their survival chances and leave Tottenham worried.

Spurs pressure builds as West Ham’s survival picture becomes clearer
A West Ham triumph is the last thing Tottenham will be hoping for heading into the final gameweek of the season.
Should the Hammers win, Spurs must simply avoid defeat, as a loss in their own clash would send them down to the Championship.
Such a result would be gut-wrenching for Tottenham, making it vital for West Ham to lose on Sunday at the London Stadium.
