The atmosphere at the London Stadium is described as “stifling” this morning as West Ham prepare for their final three games from inside the relegation zone.
Following Tottenham’s back-to-back wins, the Hammers sit in 18th place, one point behind their North London rivals.

With Nottingham Forest moving six points clear after their stunning win at Chelsea, the safety bar has been raised.
West Ham’s survival likely hinges on their upcoming fixture against a Manchester United side that has already secured Champions League football, with fans hoping for a drop in intensity from the Red Devils to help the Hammers’ escape.
