West Ham’s chances of relegation have increased due to their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, with their odds for the drop shortening to 9/2 with the UK bookmakers.
The Hammers were swept away by their London rivals, as they find themselves amongst the relegation places. Emerson Royal put the finishing touch on a well-worked move to open the scoring and Son Heung-Min sealed the victory with a clever finish into the bottom corner.
David Moyes’ side were without their record signing, Lucas Paqueta, after the Brazilian picked up a shoulder injury against Chelsea last weekend. Without their star man the Hammers struggled to create and failed to score in another Premier League match.

Can David Moyes Avoid The Drop?
The side from East London now find themselves in 18th after Everton beat Leeds 1-0 on Saturday. Games are coming thick and fast for the Hammers, as they welcome fellow relegation contenders, Nottingham Forest.
David Moyes has faced a lot of scrutiny this season, with many fans calling for the Scotsman to be sacked. Winning only five league matches so far, the Hammers will need a drastic turnaround if they want to play Premier League football next season.
The Europa Conference League is still in the thoughts of West Ham fans, being a distraction from the Premier League. It is now their best opportunity to qualify for Europe in their next campaign and could rejuvenate a so-far dismal season.
