West Ham today take on Crystal Palace in a hugely significant game for Graham Potter.

The Hammers boss is facing the sack following a very poor start to the season, which has seen the club suffer 3 heavy defeats in the opening 4 Premier League matches – the latest a 3-0 home defeat to Spurs.

The pressure is now at breaking point, with protests against the board planned ahead of today’s fixture.

It’s understood that Nuno Espírito Santo has held talks with the club and could be set to take over from Potter, with defeat today likely to lead to the dismissal of the former Brighton boss.

West Ham have Tomas Soucek suspended for the next three games following his sending off in the home game against Spurs.

The manager could bring in a forward in either Fulkrug or Wilson to the starting 11 and drop Paqueta further into midfield.

The other option could be bringing in new signing Magassa for his first start or trusting young midfielder Freddie Potts.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to miss the game again with a niggling injury although he could be back for the next game.
