West Ham’s final fixtures compared to Everton, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Leicester

West Ham United and the rest of the Premier League’s bottom six have just three matches left to seal their place in next season’s Premier League.

The Hammers sit 15th and seven points clear of relegation heading into their final three Premier League matches, having returned to winning ways on Sunday night with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United.

With West Ham on 37 points, they have a total that has been enough to stay up in ten of the last 11 seasons, but are not mathematically guaranteed survival.

As well as their seven-point advantage, West Ham, on paper at least, have the easiest run of upcoming Premier League matches between now and the end of the season, of sides sat in the bottom six.

Bottom of the table Southampton have the toughest run-in, having lost 4-3 to Nottingham Forest on Monday night.

Here is a look at how West Ham’s final three league games compare to the rest of the sides attempting to beat the drop.
