West Ham United\u2019s owners have sent a warning to relegation rivals Tottenham Hotspur that the battle for Premier League survival is not over.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hammers go into the final three games of the Premier League season one point behind Spurs.<\/p>\n

\n

West Ham had closed a 13-point gap on Tottenham to leapfrog them in the table a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

But Roberto De Zerbi has revived Spurs to pick up two wins and a draw from his first four games in charge, swinging the balance of power back in their favour.<\/p>\n

West Ham owners warn Tottenham survival battle is not over<\/h2>\n

It means West Ham have to hope Tottenham slip up and they can pounce to take advantage.<\/p>\n

After a 3-0 defeat at Brentford was followed by Tottenham\u2019s 2-1 victory at Villa, many feel West Ham are doomed to demotion.<\/p>\n

How would a draw with Arsenal make you feel about our survival chances? \ud83e\udd14<\/h3>\n

West Ham would still be below Spurs on goal difference\u2026 \ud83d\ude2c<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Especially as the Hammers host title-chasing Arsenal next on Sunday before Spurs welcome Leeds to north London.<\/p>\n

West Ham are facing a triple worst nightmare scenario to end the season despite a huge uplift in results and performances since January.<\/p>\n

After Arsenal, West Ham go to Newcastle then play Leeds at home on the final day while Spurs are away to bitter rivals Chelsea then at home to European chasing Everton.<\/p>\n

The fixtures look tough for both sides but most pundits, journalists and experts are now tipping Tottenham to stay in the top flight at the expense of the Irons.<\/p>\n

But West Ham\u2019s owners have warned Tottenham it\u2019s not over yet with a rallying cry over Premier League survival.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to Hammers News<\/strong> ahead of the monumental clash with Arsenal at the London Stadium on Sunday, the most senior spokesman for West Ham\u2019s joint chairmen said while the odds are against their side, they are not insurmountable by any stretch of the imagination.<\/p>\n

West Ham can beat the odds to relegate Spurs, say owners<\/h2>\n

\u201cNever say never,\u201d the top spokesman for West Ham\u2019s owners told Hammers News<\/strong> when asked if there is still hope inside the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly last weekend killed us.<\/p>\n

If we are to get a RESULT vs Arsenal, how do you think we\u2019d do it? \ud83e\uddd0<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThe bookies give us a 25 per cent chance of survival and they are clever people. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut 3\/1 shots, or longer, come up all the time in sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

That salient message should have nerves jangling at Tottenham.<\/p>\n

The roles are reversed again now and it is Spurs who have to deal with the pressure of being the hunted rather than the hunters.<\/p>\n

West Ham also have what some would see as an advantage in that they play before Tottenham in the next two games, offering the chance to really turn up the heat if Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s side can pick up positive results.<\/p>\n

In a conversation with Jamie Carragher, Gunners legend Thierry Henry admits West Ham scare him ahead of the pivotal Arsenal clash.<\/p>\n

Carragher himself believes West Ham can get a result against Arsenal. A win over the Gunners would see the Hammers climb out of the bottom three and back above Spurs.<\/p>\n

Former Tottenham owner Alan Sugar has also made a big West Ham confession ahead of the Arsenal clash amid the battle for survival against his old club.<\/p>\n
