Wolves Confirmed for Drop to Championship After West Ham Draws with Crystal Palace

The draw secured by West Ham raises their tally to 33 points, distancing them more from relegation peril, while Wolves sit on 17 points, a full 16 behind the safety mark. Only five fixtures remain, rendering it impossible for Rob Edwards team to rise above 18th spot.

Thus, they head back to the Championship following eight seasons in the Premier League, enduring their initial relegation since 2012.

Promotion to the Premier League in 2018 brought substantial achievements, including a seventh place finish in their return campaign.

A repeat seventh position along with a Europa League semi final appearance came in 2019/20, yet as vital squad members departed for bigger outfits, they settled into regular bottom half placings.

They plunged to the foot of the table early this term after dropping their opening five encounters, and by the seasons midpoint, their Premier League stint was doomed, having secured no victories in the first 19 league outings.

Progress emerged when Vitor Pereira gave way to Rob Edwards, though the Midlands outfit never appeared poised for a stunning rescue act.

Tottenham Dragged Deeper into Trouble

The point claimed by West Ham at Selhurst Park delivered further setbacks for Roberto De Zerbi Tottenham charges.

They seemed destined to exit the relegation zone over the weekend, holding a lead against Brighton deep into added time, but a stoppage minute leveller from the Seagulls stranded them in 18th.

Tottenham slipped even lower in the survival stakes as Nottingham Forest rallied to overcome Burnley.

At present, they lag West Ham by two points and Nottingham Forest by five, all three clubs facing five remaining contests.
