Nuno Espirito Santo is fighting to keep West Ham in the Premier League (Ben STANSALL) (Ben STANSALL/AFP/AFP) West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo said his own future was not on his mind as he battles to save the club from relegation. The West Ham board are understood to want Nuno, who signed a three-year deal when he was appointed in September, to stay on even if they go down to the Championship. The Hammers are in 18th spot, one point behind Tottenham, with Wolves and Burnley already relegated. On Sunday they have the daunting task of hosting leaders Arsenal -- survival is out of their hands with three games remaining. "I'm going to be honest with you -- I don't have one second to think about next season," Portuguese coach Nuno said on Friday. "It's so demanding what we have, the challenge, especially the game on Sunday, that's what we have to focus on. "I don't have enough energy to think about what's ahead. It's tomorrow, then tomorrow, day-by-day." Arsenal will arrive in good spirits after beating Atletico Madrid on Tuesday to reach the Champions League final. The Gunners, five points clear at the top of the Premier League, have won on their past two visits to the London Stadium by an aggregate score of 11-2. "It's difficult because they are very good," said Nuno. "They are a very talented team that is fighting for huge things and achieving huge moments. "They have reached the final of the Champions League and are fighting for the Premier League title. "They are a tough opponent, but we are at London Stadium and that always gives us a plus of energy and especially for us, we have to give our all." He added: "It's always nervy in these final games of the season. There's always anxiety in the games so it is up to us to control our nerves and deliver what we want." jw/mw
