West Ham now only have three games remaining in their 2022/23 Premier League campaign, and the threat of relegation can be put to bed in the coming weeks for David Moyes' men.

Victory last weekend over Manchester United meant that the Hammers sit seven points clear of the drop, meaning they could confirm their safety this season regardless of their result against Brentford, who they face on Sunday.

However, should their relegation rivals pick up points over the next couple of games, there could still be jeopardy ahead for the east Londoners, with a Europa Conference League tie to navigate ahead of their trip across the capital.

Here's how Football FanCast thinks the next few games will pan out...

Brentford v West Ham

Following their Conference League tie against AZ Alkmaar in midweek, the Hammers head across London to face a mid-table Brentford side perhaps understandably blowing hot and cold at this stage of the season.

A win will secure Premier League football next term for West Ham, and with the Bees' season effectively over, they may be there for the taking this coming weekend.

This is also a Brentford team that have only won twice at home since early February, with late goals sealing the victories on both occasions against Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

One thing that may play into the hosts' favour, however, will be any tired legs West Ham have from their European exploits. But having reacted to a midweek defeat by beating Manchester United last time out, this is a hurdle we know the Irons can overcome.

Prediction: Brentford 0-2 West Ham

West Ham v Leeds

Sam Allardyce returns to West Ham looking to save a Leeds side who could be relegated if results go against them on the penultimate weekend.

Whether any lingering animosity amongst the fanbase over Big Sam's tenure in east London will have an effect on the atmosphere and performance in a fortnight's time remains to be seen, but there will certainly be something on the line when these teams meet.

West Ham will head into the game knowing their Conference League fate, and in all likelihood, will be safe by the time kick-off comes around on that Sunday afternoon. This means that even if their Premier League status is secured, players will be aiming to sneak into Moyes' cup final plans should they overcome AZ on the preceding Thursday.

Provided there is no European hangover, they should still go into this one as morale-boosted favourites, with Leeds not winning a game of any description at the time of writing since mid-March.

Prediction: West Ham 3-0 Leeds

Leicester v West Ham

With this game 10 days before a potential European final, West Ham's squad selection could be intriguing given that they will likely be safe before facing Leicester City on the final day of the league campaign.

It must be said that Leicester could well be relegated before kick-off, meaning this could be a dead rubber. That said, the Foxes won't want to exit the top flight with a whimper, and with one eye on either Prague or the summer holidays, it may not be surprising to see Hammers players refraining from going hell for leather.

Despite their struggles this season, Leicester have a fairly fearsome attack when they're on song, and though they have seldom shown this form throughout the campaign, we feel the most likely set of circumstances ahead of the game will have the home side hell-bent on getting a result, regardless of their fate.

Prediction: Leicester 2-1 West Ham

  • Predicted run-in points: 6/9
  • Predicted total points: 43
