West Ham, who host Leeds on the final day, will need to pick up at least two points more than Spurs because of a significantly inferior goal difference.
"We played well," said West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo after Sunday's defeat by Arsenal.
"The character of the boys, the noise of the stadium. We knew the position that we are in and the boys gave it a proper fight.
"This is what we will try to do until the last minute of the season. Two games to go, it is our job to bounce back and fight and know that anything can still happen.
"Of course it is hard but we have been competing well, especially at London Stadium. The energy of the crowd was contagious for the boys. We're going to give it a go. This group of players will react."
