West Ham vs Wolves – LIVE!
Two jobs are on the line as West Ham host Wolves in a crucial Premier League showdown tonight. The match has been dubbed ‘El Sackico’ on social media, with Julen Lopetegui on the brink and needing a win against his former club to save his job, while Wolves boss Gary O’Neil appears to be under similar pressure.
Things were seemingly looking up for Lopetegui at West Ham a fortnight ago, when they travelled to Newcastle on a Monday night and produced a superb performance to win 2-0. Since then, though, there was a heavy 5-2 defeat to Arsenal, before the Hammers were beaten a week ago by Leicester.
The Hammers at least sit 14th in the table, six points off the relegation, which is a far more comfortable position than the one Wolves find themselves in. O’Neil’s side have just two Premier League wins and nine points to their name this season, and a dismal 4-0 defeat to Everton last time out has piled the pressure on.
