Who’s Falling Through the Championship Trapdoor?

The conflict to avoid relegation from the Premier League seems poised to continue until the very end.

Tottenham has faltered and is reportedly on the verge of appointing Roberto De Zerbi as their third manager this campaign, following Igor Tudor’s dismissal.

Nottingham Forest is on its fourth coach, while West Ham has employed two. Leeds, the other club facing potential demotion, has maintained faith in Daniel Farke, but will this unwavering support yield positive results?

We scrutinize their remaining seven fixtures to determine which teams will gather sufficient points to stay afloat and which will descend into the Championship (assuming Wolves and Burnley are already gone).

Leeds – Occupying 15th spot, with 33 points from 31 matches

After appearing relatively secure for much of the season, Leeds has encountered difficulties following a streak of only two victories since Christmas.

Their concluding schedule, however, is favorable, featuring winnable home games that could prove their salvation. They are set to compete against every squad in the bottom four, so, regardless of the outcome, Leeds will significantly influence who survives.

Nottingham Forest, 16th place, 32 points from 31 fixtures

Forest has been embroiled in this struggle for a substantial portion of the season, with owner Evangelos Marinakis frequently making changes to discover the optimal strategy.

Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, and Sean Dyche have all come and gone, leaving Vitor Pereira as the individual tasked with overseeing the final push.

They face a demanding set of concluding fixtures, but the impressive 3-0 triumph at Spurs before the international break will instill considerable belief.

Tottenham, 17th position, 30 points from 31 played games

This has proven to be an utterly dismal campaign for Spurs supporters, with their team performing poorly while local rivals Arsenal draw closer to securing the championship.

The impending announcement of Roberto De Zerbi offers a glimmer of optimism, though it will be intriguing to observe how rapidly the Italian endeavors to implement his high-intensity, offensive strategy.

Tottenham’s remaining fixture list is varied, and it is imperative they secure points from their next three matches before a challenging May period.

West Ham, 18th position, 29 points from 31 encounters

It feels like ages ago that West Ham dismissed Graham Potter. In reality, it was last September when Nuno was brought in as his replacement.

Victories against Tottenham, Sunderland, and Burnley in January and February provided encouragement, but their performance has since reverted to being inconsistent.

They possess the most vulnerable defense among the four struggling teams but have one of the more favorable remaining schedules. They will host Leeds on the final day in what could be a pivotal showdown.
