    Tottenham Hotspur's likelihood of getting relegated significantly increased following their defeat by Fulham last time out but Igor Tudor's side still remain one of the favourites to stay up out of the bottom six.

    They have a 18.09% chance of playing Championship football next season according to Opta's supercomputer, while Leeds United have the strongest odds of staying up with just a 7.55% likelihood of being relegated.

    Despite a recent upturn in form, Wolves are still predicted to be almost certainties for the drop with a 99.90% chance, while Burnley aren't far behind with 99.45%.

    Of the remaining two, it's West Ham that are currently favourites to take the third and final relegation spot with 48.77% while Nottingham Forest are given a 26.13% likelihood of getting relegated.

  3. 'If I have to be sacrificed to support young players that's fine'published at 15:10 GMT

    Burnley v Bournemouth (Sat, 15:00 GMT)

    Burnley

    A final word from Burnley boss Scott Parker, who was asked about having a duty of care towards young players while under so much pressure and scrutiny: "This year may be a failure. It has been a failure to this point. And that's true, very true, because we wouldn't want to be in this situation what we're currently in, and we wanted to have won more games, and we've not.

    "But the bigger picture is always for me, longer term is we also have a responsibility to these young men, they're starting off, some of them in their career, going through different phases of their career, that I need to help and support them.

    "Now, if that means that I have to be sacrificed for that, or I fell along that way, then that's fine, as long as I do, what I believe is right at this moment time, is make these people better and make this team better for the long run, really grit, resilience, again, another core value of mine that will put us in good stead."

    Would be glorious thing if Wolves stayed up somehow and Spurs and Nottingham Forest went down. Spurs because it's unthinkable and Forest because sacking Nuno smacked of arrogance that Marinakis is now paying for.

  5. Walker has been a 'major focal point for us as a nation'published at 15:04 GMT

    Burnley v Bournemouth (Sat, 15:00 GMT)

    Burnley

    Burnley boss Scott Parker on England legend Kyle Walker announcing his retirement from international football: "I think his contribution to the Premier League still exists. And what he gave to England as well has been nothing short of remarkable. And the amount of caps he's got, the level of quality that he's played at, the tournaments he's played in, has been a major focal point for us as a nation.

    "Obviously all of our full blessing. That was his decision that he wanted to make. So gives him some time now, obviously during international breaks, and hopefully can help us as well in that."

    When asked if he was involved in Walker's decision he said: "No, no, I wasn't. No. That was just down to him in terms of his decision and the decision he's come to with him and his family. So, as always, he makes that decision he feels that's right for him. And like I said, he has contributed tenfold to England."

    He says Walker is "fully committed to Burnley" and there is no worries of him leaving Burnley.

  8. Spurs extend ticket deadline amid relegation fearspublished at 14:53 GMT

    Speaking of Igor Tudor and Spurs...

    Relegation-threatened Tottenham have given their fans "an extended period" to decide if they want to renew their season tickets amid the "seriousness of the current league position" of their men's team.

    Spurs gave their supporters until Tuesday, 27 May last year - two days after the end of the 2024-25 Premier League season - to decide if they wanted to renew for the present campaign.

    This time around, fans did have until Tuesday, 26 May - two days after this season's final league match to renew - but, in a message sent to fans, they are now giving them between Thursday, 12 March until Sunday, 7 June to reach a decision.

    Tottenham, who have lost their past five league games and face a trip to Liverpool on Sunday, are just one point above the relegation zone with nine games remaining.

    "We recognise the seriousness of the current league position of our men's team," said the message sent to supporters by Spurs.

    They added that "following discussions with our fan advisory board and the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust" they "can confirm the renewal window for 2026-27 will now remain open for an extended period until Sunday, 7 June to ensure fans have full clarity on next season before renewing".

    "Everyone at the club remains absolutely steadfast in our collective commitment to improve our Premier League position and finish the current season as strongly as possible," said Tottenham.

    "Brian Brobbey and Dennis Cirkin have both trained all week. Let's see how they are tomorrow. This weekend will come too soon for Robin Roefs, Nordi Mukiele and Reinildo. After seeking many opinions, we're expecting Bertrand to be out six to eight weeks."

    Summerville out a huge blow to West Ham who have improved but still have a tough fixture list ahead. That last relegation position won't be filled until very late into the season, if not the final day.

    When you're down at the bottom, you need all the luck you can get.

    So it feels like a huge blow for West Ham to miss their in-form forward Crysencio Summerville.

    He's scored in six of their last nine Premier League games and without his goals, West Ham would be four points worse off.

    Summerville's form has been so good that Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman has hinted that he'll be calling up the 24-year-old to his squad later this month.

    Nuno didn't say how long Summerville will be out for, but to miss their home match against a Man City side on the ropes, he could well have been the difference.

    West Ham United

    A final word from West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo on Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, who was subbed off by Igor Tudor following two calamitous errors against Atletico Madrid: "It's a difficult situation, it's tough coming off that early but this is football. And how we come out of these moments is what defines you. Hopefully he can bounce back.

    "It is definitely the lonliest position on the pitch. There's no hiding from the huge responsibility of the goalie."

    West Ham United

    West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo on Manchester City: "I always believe that Man City is one of the best teams and has enormous amount of solutions and talented players. Pep is a fantastic manager. What I see is a tough opponent, a very tough opponent for anyone.

    "They have a lot of options, and many talented players that can can play in several positions, and they have an identity of the way they play football that any player that eventually you put inside it immediately clicks and and gets inside of the identity of the team. So so many options, so many talented players."

    "I've always said that as long as as we give something, that the fans are going to give it back and it's happening."

    "We are going to miss him he's important player.

    "It can happen at any moment, but when he came in he was a big help for the team. He really did well as he has done many, many times for us in recent weeks.
