Tottenham Hotspur claimed a big win over Wolves on Saturday, but remain three points behind West Ham after their late 2-1 win over Everton.
Nottingham Forest also claimed a huge victory by smashing Sunderland 5-0 on Friday night, and the battle to retain Premier League status is proving a fierce one.

How does that make you feel, Spurs fans?
Tottenham have some work to do in order to save themselves from relegation, and ultimately, they now only have four games left to do it.
Gary Lineker is a man who clearly wants Tottenham to do well, and he’s now admitted what he finds extremely weird about the club’s current plight.

Gary Lineker on what he finds weird about Tottenham
It really is crazy to think that with four games to go, Tottenham are in the relegation zone, staring at an embarrassing drop to the EFL.
Lineker has shared what he is currently struggling to understand about the club’s current situation given the infrastructure in place.
He said on The Rest is Football: “But, you know, it’s weird with Tottenham, because it’s actually a really well-run football club in terms of a business and what they’ve done. The stadium is incredible. We were there, weren’t we, Micah, for the boxing. Wow.
“And then you’ve got one of the best training grounds in world football. But we all know with football, it’s not a business. It’s a sport.”
Ultimately, football doesn’t give you any credit for having a big stadium, decent fans or a world-class training facility, and Tottenham could be on the verge of a stark reminder of that.
With four games of the season to play, nobody envisaged that Tottenham would find themselves in this situation, but here we are.
With Roberto De Zerbi now at the helm in North London, there is a sense that something special can be achieved if Spurs can simply remain in the division next season.
Doing that won’t come easily and it will be fascinating to see what happens come the end of the season.
