(Home 37, Draw 23, Away 40)
TOTTENHAM are heading for seventh place, much better than they might have expected only a few weeks ago.
But if West Ham win this instead of Spurs, they could finish above them, this despite the fact that we currently expect West Ham to finish in 15th place.
That is how incredibly tight the middle of the table is these days.
There are the first signs that both these sides have strengthened their defences.
This one would have been so open a few weeks ago. This weekend, it could be defensive.
