Seven games remain. Three clubs go drop. And right now, na four clubs dey fight tooth and nail for just two available survival spaces. Wolves and Burnley don nearly seal their fate — but di third relegation spot na proper war wey no go end until di last whistle of di season.
Welcome to di most dramatic Premier League relegation battle for years. Make TPB break am down for una.
Di Table As E Stand (March 31, 2026)
After di international break, di bottom half of di table look like dis:
- 15th: Leeds United — Four points above di drop zone, playing with some life recently
- 16th: Nottingham Forest — Di same margin, but dem just hammer Spurs 3-0
- 17th: Tottenham Hotspur — One point above bottom three, no manager, maximum panic
- 18th: West Ham United — One point below Spurs, dem just lose 2-0 to Aston Villa
- 19th: Wolverhampton Wanderers — 13 points from safety — nearly certain to go down
- 20th: Burnley — 10 points from safety — nearly certain relegation
Wolves and Burnley? Dem don nearly accept their fate. Di real drama na for di fight between Spurs, West Ham, Forest, and potentially Leeds for dat crucial 17th position.
Wolves — One Surprise Story
Even though Wolves sit for bottom and look like definite relegation candidates, dem dey come into di international break in surprisingly good form. Under Rob Edwards, Wolves win against both Aston Villa and Liverpool for recent weeks, draw against Arsenal and Brentford — collecting eight points from their last five matches.
Na too late to mount serious survival challenge — di points gap too much — but di form show say di players never give up. Four of their remaining seven games also come against teams wey dey placed 15th or below, which mean dem fit cause damage even if dem go down.
Spurs — Di Elephant in Di Room
Make we be honest — Tottenham dey di most shocking story here. A club wey spend over one billion pounds on their stadium, wey get Champions League final appearance for 2019, wey sell Harry Kane for over £100 million — dis same club dey one bad result from di Championship.
With Tudor gone and De Zerbi negotiations ongoing, Spurs enter di final stretch without a confirmed manager. Dat alone dey terrifying. Seven games, no manager, one point of safety — na war.
West Ham — Building Momentum, Den Losing It
West Ham under Nuno Espírito Santo don build some momentum — one defeat for six matches before di international break. But dem lose 2-0 to Aston Villa just before di break, which drop dem back to 18th and increase di pressure.
Di Hammers go need to find dat winning form quick when football resume. Dem get some tough fixtures remaining, including direct six-pointers against other struggling sides.
Key Fixtures to Watch
Di Premier League don confirm dat April 18 go be massive — four of di bottom six clubs go face each other on di same matchday. Dem kind matches go decide who survive and who go down.
Spurs fixtures include potential direct clashes with West Ham and Forest — dem call am “six-pointers” for reason. Every single goal, every point, every decision go matter.
TPB Prediction
Right now, we fit confidently say Wolves and Burnley go drop. Di third place — na genuine 50/50 between Spurs and West Ham, with Forest and Leeds as outside candidates.
If Spurs no win their first game back with whoever be their new manager, di panic go reach new levels. If De Zerbi come and inspire dem quick, maybe dem survive. But seven games to save yourself from historic relegation? Na not easy work at all.
Premier League relegation battle 2025/26 go enter di history books one way or another. Make una strap in.
