The battle against relegation in the Premier League experienced a dramatic shift right before the March international break as pressure mounts on one of England's most prominent clubs: Tottenham Hotspur.
Fellow relegation contenders Nottingham Forest made the journey to north London and demolished Tottenham 3–0 on Sunday, leapfrogging them in the table and leaving the current Europa League holders teetering on the edge of catastrophe.
Tottenham's league victory drought extends back to December, having suffered defeat in six of their previous seven matches. There's simply no denying it - this 'Big Six' outfit's recent performances spell relegation danger.
The situation could have deteriorated further for Spurs, however, as West Ham United also suffered a crushing loss against Aston Villa, leaving Nuno Espírito Santo's team still positioned in the third relegation spot, trailing Tottenham by just one point.
Leeds United hoped to claim maximum points, but settling for a home draw with Brentford allowed them to establish a four-point cushion above the drop zone, providing some relief from both Spurs and West Ham.
The scene is prepared for an exciting finale to the relegation struggle following the international break, one that could potentially extend to the season's final matchday. Here's how the upcoming five Premier League fixtures appear for those battling to stay up.

Tottenham will travel northward to meet Sunderland following the international break, a challenging assignment for Spurs considering the Black Cats harbor European ambitions after their victory over local rivals Newcastle United. Brighton & Hove Albion will arrive in north London the subsequent weekend before Spurs conclude the month with a crucial away fixture against league-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers.
May opens with a challenging journey to Aston Villa, followed by Spurs hosting Leeds United in a encounter that could prove pivotal in the survival battle.
A derby encounter with Manchester United awaits Leeds next. Following that, an away match against Bournemouth in late April sits between home fixtures against Championship-destined Wolves and Burnley, two winnable contests the Peacocks might exploit to escape relegation trouble before their scheduled visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium arrives.
Nottingham Forest will aim to capitalize on their commanding victory over Spurs when Aston Villa and Burnley make visits to the City Ground after the break. However, Forest must also manage their European commitments, with their Europa League quarterfinal against Porto scheduled between those domestic fixtures.
Road trips to Sunderland and Chelsea as May arrives won't prove straightforward for Vítor Pereira's squad, despite both opponents' erratic form throughout 2026. A home match against struggling Newcastle follows during May's second weekend.
West Ham will fancy their prospects at home versus Wolves after the break, with victory there potentially lifting spirits for the Hammers before manageable fixtures away to Crystal Palace and home against an Everton team managed by former boss David Moyes.
Securing positive outcomes in their next three matches is vital for West Ham, as May commences with a trip to European contenders Brentford and a home clash against title-chasing Arsenal.
