West Ham's survival battle has reached crunch time. After a nightmare run of results, back-to-back victories briefly threw them a lifeline, only for another defeat to stall that momentum and sharpen the relegation scrap narratives around the bottom of the table. 

But the fight is far from over, and what happens in the next five games could define their entire season.

Survival scraps are not won in one afternoon. They're about grinding out results, holding your nerve when it matters, and claiming points wherever you can. 

West Ham have dug themselves into a hole, but they're not buried yet. There's still time to claw their way out, even if the path ahead looks brutal.
