West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui is under huge pressure ahead of today’s Premier League clash with Wolves.
Standard Sport understands the Spaniard will remain in charge for today’s game but it is seen as a must-win following Tuesday’s hugely disappointing 3-1 loss at Leicester.

Lopetegui has won only four of his opening 14 Premier League games despite a huge summer spend and sections of the away support appeared to have turned on him during the loss at the King Power Stadium.
Losing at home to Wolves would be another nadir. Lopetegui left the Molineux club on the eve of last season and while replacement Gary O’Neil initially did well, things have stalled since.
Wolves were thrashed 4-0 at Everton on Wednesday to put O’Neil under huge pressure, too.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

West Ham vs Wolves prediction
As disappointing as the Leicester result was, West Ham were arguably unlucky in that match. Clearly, that will do little to settle fan unrest but it does perhaps suggest they have enough to beat Wolves.
