However, given their status as a member of the so-called âBig Sixâ, dropping into the second tier would be a seismic shock for Tottenham.
Their recent financial report for 2024/25 detailed a club-record ÂŁ120.6 million pre-tax loss, which was the clubâs sixth consecutive deficit.
Given that Tottenham won the Europa League last season, their current financial situation paints a deeply concerning picture.
In some respects, Tottenham bear some similarities to Leeds when they were relegated from the top flight at the end of the 2003/04 season.
They previously had five consecutive European campaigns and boasted a squad which was âtoo good to go downâ, but finished inside the drop zone.
Leeds subsequently slipped into League 1, before regrouping and working their way back to the Premier League. However, the journey was not easy.
Tottenham were footballâs second most profitable club in 2018, but have turned that ÂŁ138.9m profit into a ÂŁ120.6m deficit.
High annual operating costs coupled with the need to rebuild the squad could be a combination that prevents Tottenham from making a swift return to the Premier League.
They will be desperate to collect sufficient points from their remaining games against Villa (A), Leeds (H), Chelsea (A) and Everton (H) to keep themselves afloat.
West Ham have been in this position before, having been relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2002/03 and 2010/11 campaigns.
It took them two seasons to regain their top-flight spot on the first occasion, while they bounced back after one year the second time around.
However, their most recent financial report showed a pre-tax loss of ÂŁ104m. The club has taken out a ÂŁ124m loan from rights and media funding and used payday loans worth ÂŁ12m to pay transfer fees.
A ÂŁ40m overdraft from Barclays has also been leveraged, adding another layer of concern to their current financial situation.
Club revenue dropped from ÂŁ270m to ÂŁ228m, while wages increased from ÂŁ161m to ÂŁ176m in the new set of accounts. West Ham owe ÂŁ196m to other clubs for transfer fees.
If West Ham drop into the Championship, they would need to sell all of their top players to balance the books.
Relegation would also have a knock-on effect on London council taxpayers, with the clubâs contract at the London Stadium containing a clause which halves the rent if they go down.
The venue already operates at a large deficit, with Londoners subsidising its ÂŁ19.5m annual running costs under a 99-year deal signed under former prime minister Boris Johnson.
