Opta\u2019s Supercomputer has predicted how likely West Ham United are to hand Tottenham Hotspur a massive blow by beating Newcastle United on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spurs failed to take the opportunity to open up a four-point gap with West Ham on Monday, as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Leeds.<\/p>\n

Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s wait for a first home win as Tottenham boss goes on, and the Lilywhites find themselves in an extremely dangerous position ahead of their final two games.<\/p>\n

West Ham play before them once again on Matchweek 37, and should they win at Newcastle, they will leapfrog Spurs, who have to travel to Stamford Bridge for a London derby next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Supercomputer says West Ham are unlikely to hand Tottenham a huge blow on Sunday<\/h2>\n

Spurs fans will be glued to television for the clash at St James\u2019 Park, hoping that Eddie Howe\u2019s men do them a favour.<\/p>\n

According to Opta\u2019s Supercomputer, Newcastle are big favourites to beat West Ham, even though the Magpies have little to play for.<\/p>\n

The data analysis platform gives Newcastle a 46.2 per cent chance of beating the Hammers. The chances of West Ham winning and moving a point clear of Spurs are rated at 29.8 per cent.<\/p>\n

A draw, which would leave Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s men just a point off Tottenham, has been given a 24 per cent chance.<\/p>\n

Why Sunday\u2019s result will likely decide Spurs\u2019 fate<\/h2>\n

While Tottenham\u2019s fate is in their own hands, it would be a huge psychological blow to the players if they are in the relegation zone when they walk out onto the pitch in West London next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The pressure would intensify greatly, and Chelsea players and fans will be really up for the occasion as they will see it as a golden opportunity to be the ones to relegate Spurs.<\/p>\n

However, anything other than a West Ham win on Sunday will leave De Zerbi\u2019s men in the driver\u2019s seat in their quest for survival.<\/p>\n
