West Ham United are gearing up for a huge match in their history as they look to win the relegation battle with a victory over Leeds United in their final Premier League game of the season on Sunday.
A win is vital for West Ham, but they also need Tottenham to lose against Everton to secure their safety at Spurs' expense. Meanwhile, Leeds don't have much to play for, but they will want to end a decent season on a high.

Talking Points:
How can West Ham avoid relegation?
The simple equation for West Ham is they need to beat Leeds and hope Everton can help them by defeating Tottenham. Nuno Espírito Santo's team are on 36 points after 37 games -- two fewer than 17th-placed Tottenham. West Ham cannot afford to lose the match, in fact even a draw will also not be enough. A win for West Ham and a draw for Spurs will put both teams on the same points but it's highly unlikely that West Ham can overcome their vastly inferior goal difference to survive.
In April, it seemed West Ham were doing enough to pull through with three unbeaten games, including two victories while Spurs were struggling to even get a win. However, three defeats in the last three games have pushed Nuno's team to the brink.
