I just don't see this, Spurs need to win to qualify for Europe and are a way better team.
Gonna make a bold prediction, we already have enough points. However, we also beat Palace anyway.
Spurs haven't won a game away from home in 9 matches. I wouldn't be relying on them. They are awful
They don't have to win - just not bloody lose!
True. Haha

Their most recent away games have been against Villa, Liverpool and Newcastle so there is some context there.
Aware they're not amazing but they are 7th not 17th and have the best/second best striker in the league.
Also Leeds have won 2 out of their 11 home games since the World Cup and they were against us and Southampton. They are not a good team!

Also worth noting, Everton and Leeds both have to win at least one game (or in Everton's case two draws could overtake us if we got no more points) Leicester would also have to win and draw minimum to be able to overtake us.

Yup. It may have only been a point we got at Chelsea but it could yet make a massive difference.

I'm starting to get more and more nervous now, it would be such a relief if it could end this weekend!

I’m excited for Saturday, can’t wait. The end to this season is just as nail biting as last season but in reverse. The atmosphere at the CG as the moment is electric, I would imagine tomorrow will be no different, maybe even louder! We haven’t got the greatest team obviously, and certain players have frustrated the life out of me at times but I can honestly say since Cooper came in I’ve never seen a team and fans so together. I know we will all be up for it, COYR

West Ham can't afford to take the afternoon off just yet. They may have a much better GD than Leeds but who remembers the Forest 1 Stoke 4 and Reading 1 Swansea 4 disaster.
After last night's Sheff W comeback, I wouldn't risk it if I was Moyes. I'd play my best team and bury them and then rest them next week.

Fully agree, that should rule out wholesale changes on Sunday.
He might make 3 or 4 just to freshen a bit, but surely not wholesale. They won’t even want a mathematical chance of going down on the last day.

They will already be safe by the game though unless both Forest and Everton have won on the Saturday.
I do think they'll play the best available team but fitness wise that will likely see some changes. Definitely gives Leeds an advantage but I'm unconvinced they are capable of taking it.

Well.... here we go! Think it's going to be a pretty topsy-turvy weekend of football! We could end it back in 18th or we could end it with no mathematical possibility of relegation. Thankfully..... there is no scenario where we can be relegated before the last game.
Come on you reds!!
