West Ham vs. Leeds Prediction, Picks for EPL – Sunday, May 24

Following a stretch of three consecutive losses in the Premier League, West Ham finds themselves in the relegation zone, sitting in the No. 18 spot in the league standings with 36 points. Wolves and Burnley have long been preparing to play in the championship next season as the first two teams to be relegated.

The only other team facing relegation on Sunday is Tottenham, who have an upcoming home match against Everton. Tottenham has 38 points, so West Ham essentially needs a win and Tottenham to lose.

West Ham is -12 in the goal differential category when comparing the two clubs, so a draw wouldn’t be a positive outcome unless they produced a historic number of goals while also outscoring Tottenham.

On a positive note, Tottenham haven’t won a home match in the Premier League since early December. That being said, West Ham must focus on securing a win against a Leeds team that doesn’t have anything to play for on Sunday.

Ahead of Sunday’s contest, a prediction of “Yes” for West Ham to be relegated carries a 1.12x payout, via PrizePicks Team Picks. Tottenham has a 5.88x payout on “Yes” in the same market.

As mentioned above, Leeds don’t have much to play for in the final matchweek after enjoying their first year in the Premier League since 2022-23. 

Leeds is 14th in the EPL table with 47 points, and they can finish no higher than 11th and no lower than 15th regardless of the result on Sunday. 

There was a moment in December when Leeds were in the relegation zone, but manager Daniel Farke’s side rallied to avoid being sent down. Leeds have gone unbeaten in their last eight Premier League matches, posting a 4-4-0 record in that span.
