West Ham secured a crucial point over the weekend, holding Manchester City to a draw at home. This result may have effectively ended the title race, but more importantly for the Hammers, it significantly bolstered their fight to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
In a twist of fate, Tottenham managed a dramatic late draw with Liverpool, while both Leeds United and Nottingham Forest also drew their respective matches. This means the relegation battle remains largely unchanged at the bottom of the table. However, there is no denying that the point earned against City, similar to a recent result by Forest, could prove invaluable in the coming weeks.

Here is the current state of the relegation scrap. Wolves have been excluded due to the near certainty of their relegation.
