Three reasons why West Ham benefit from Chelsea vs Tottenham rearrangement

The Premier League has confirmed that Chelsea vs Tottenham will take place on Tuesday, 19 May at 8:15 pm.

West Ham will now have the opportunity to put Spurs under even more pressure when they play Newcastle away.

The Hammers will travel to St. James’ Park on Sunday, 17 May, aiming to build their advantage over Tottenham.

If they can earn a result against Eddie Howe’s side, Spurs could face a must-win or must-not-lose game against Chelsea.

Not only that, but the Hammers could give Chelsea the impetus to achieve something that will be remembered forever.

The Blues could have a once-in-a-lifetime chance of officially relegating their London rivals at Stamford Bridge.

Assuming West Ham stay up, would you rather see Arsenal bottle the league or Tottenham go down? 🤔

One can only imagine how much the Chelsea players and supporters would be desperate to win in that eventuality.

Meanwhile, whatever the result, Spurs will now have less time to prepare for their final-day clash against Everton.

The North Londoners will have had only four days off compared to Everton’s six when they meet on 24 May.

Of course, West Ham must remain focused on their own performances, but they should be pleased with the latest fixture news.

Tottenham already faced a tall order to stay in the Premier League, and their challenge just became a little harder.
