West Ham United boss Nuno Espirito Santo is fully focused on the present, insisting he hasn't spent "one second" contemplating his future beyond this season. The Hammers slipped back into the relegation zone last weekend following a defeat to Brentford, while relegation rivals Spurs secured a vital win over Aston Villa—a result that tightened the pressure at the bottom of the Premier League table.

When asked about his long-term plans, Espirito Santo was clear: "I'm going to be honest with you, I don't have one second to think about next season. It's so demanding—what we have, the challenge, especially the game on Sunday—is what we have to focus on. I don't have any second on my mind. I don't have enough energy to think about what is ahead. It's just tomorrow, after tomorrow, day by day."

This single-minded approach comes ahead of a massive clash against title-chasing Arsenal at the London Stadium. For West Ham, it's a chance to climb out of danger; for the Gunners, it's a must-win in their pursuit of Premier League glory. Espirito Santo will have a fully fit squad to choose from, a welcome boost in such a high-stakes encounter.

"Everybody's okay, which is good for us, that everybody's healthy," he confirmed. "They are a very talented team that is fighting for huge things—achieving huge moments, reaching the final of the Champions League, fighting for the league title. Tough opponent, tough opponent, but we are at London Stadium, which gives us always a plus of energy. Especially for us, we have to give it all. There's no hiding, we have to be there."

With both teams needing points for very different reasons, Sunday's showdown promises to be a high-intensity affair. For the Hammers, survival is the prize—and for Espirito Santo, there's no room for distraction.
