Premier League relegation battle decided by reverse fixtures with just one point in itThe Premier League relegation battle is heating up with Leeds United, Tottenham, West Ham and Nottingham Forest scrapping for survivalView 3 Images Tottenham are one of a handful of relegation-threatened top-flight teams (Image: Getty)Tottenham are one of many sides facing the very real threat of relegation with eight Premier League fixtures left to play. However, a repeat of the reverse results of these remaining matches would see them survive as they battle with Leeds United, West Ham and Nottingham Forest. ‌They face Forest on Sunday afternoon in a crucial relegation six-pointer as West Ham and Leeds also linger dangerously near the drop. This would see Tottenham finish the campaign on 39 points and if we consider the other relegation-threatened teams' reverse fixtures, they'd avoid the theoretical drop. However, they would still avoid the drop in this scenario, with West Ham suffering relegation to the Championship.
