Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp has predicted the outcomes of Arsenal vs West Ham and Leeds vs Tottenham.

West Ham 1-2 Arsenal 

After Manchester City beat Brentford 3-0 on Saturday night, Arsenal need a win to extend their lead at the top of the table or risk their title chances being torn down in the final 3 games of the campaign.

They must bypass West Ham, a side close to relegation as they battle to stay in the Premier League. It will be a tough clash for the Gunners and Redknapp spoke to football betting site BetVictor about how the game may go as pressure rises. 

“A massive, massive game for both. For the Hammers, that poor result at Brentford piles the pressure on here. It almost feels like a must-win, particularly with Spurs having picked up under De Zerbi.  

 “I think this will be Arsenal’s last big test. Win this, and that could well be that in terms of the title. It’s shaping up to be an incredible end to the season for them.  

 “This is bound to be nervy and bound to be dramatic. I have to favour Arsenal, 2-1.” 

Spurs 2-0 Leeds 

At the other end of the table, Tottenham and Leeds United collide at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday night. 

Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi has picked up wins against Wolves and Aston Villa so far but must keep that momentum going against Leeds if they are to stay up. 

West Ham can leapfrog the Lilywhites with a shock victory over Arsenal on Sunday but Redknapp believes the North London side will come out victorious. 

“All of a sudden, a win here and Spurs will be in a really good position in terms of safety. De Zerbi deserves credit for injecting a bit of belief into these players. They can’t get complacent though, particularly if West Ham get a good result against Arsenal.  

“That’s Leeds all but safe now and Farke deserves lots of credit. I know a lot of people expected them to struggle this season and they didn’t make the best of starts.  

“Leeds have nothing to lose so they’ll go out to try and win this. Still, those Spurs fans will be buoyant and that could be the difference. 2-0.”
