The relegation battle that once threatened to drag multiple teams into its doom spiral has narrowed to a fine point, leaving just Tottenham and West Ham in a fight for survival.
After West Ham fell to a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday, Spurs had a huge opportunity to secure safety during their match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
But, Spurs were beaten 2-1 by the Blues, meaning Roberto De Zerbi's men still likely need at least a point against Everton on the final day to retain their Premier League status.
With the campaign approaching the final straight, both teams know the paths they must travel to avoid the drop.
What do Tottenham need to happen for them to stay up at West Ham's expense?
Spurs' fate lies in their own hands after a recent resurgence saw them pick up eight points from their last five games.
They had the chance to secure safety against Chelsea but failed to earn the draw they needed, meaning the final relegation spot will now be decided on the last day of the season.
Due to their superior goal difference, Spurs still realistically only need one point from their game against Everton to survive, should West Ham beat Leeds at the London Stadium. If West Ham fail to beat Leeds, Spurs are safe.
Opta may give De Zerbi's side a promising chance of 85.91% chance of survival, but their final match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where they have only won twice this season -- and they have not yet recorded a league win at home in 2026.
Everton have not won any of their last six matches, but neither had Chelsea when Spurs came to visit.
What do West Ham need to happen for them to stay up at Tottenham's expense?
West Ham are now at the mercy of other results after their defeat on Tyneside last weekend.
Taty Castellanos' acrobatic goal to make it 3-1 provided a brief glimmer of hope as they put on the pressure to try and fight back to what would have been a remarkable salvaged point.
But at two points behind Spurs and worse off by a goal difference of 12, they need Tottenham to lose on the final day.
The Hammers must hope De Zerbi's team slip up again against Everton, while they beat Leeds.
Should Spurs draw with Everton, they'd have to make up the goal difference in scarcely believable fashion on the final day against Daniel Farke's men.
Leeds, though only playing for pride, are unbeaten in their last six matches and are one of the most in-form teams in the league.
Opta's predictions
Opta predicts a significantly greater chance of survival for Spurs -- boosted to 93.83% after West Ham's loss to Newcastle.
That has dropped slightly to 85.91% following their defeat in west London, but Spurs still have a job to do on the pitch.
No team has been relegated with 36 points or more since Newcastle in 2015-16 when they accumulated 37.
Whichever London side is demoted to the Championship will do so with one of the highest points tallies accumulated by a relegated team in Premier League history.
