Graham Potter is facing arguably his biggest game of his West Ham career so far this weekend.
The Hammers take on Crystal Palace at the London Stadium in yet another London derby in the early stages of the Premier League season, with Potter desperately in need to delivering 3 points following the horror show collapse against Spurs last weekend.
Potters side fell to a 3-0 loss, which mirrored the 5-1 mauling against Chelsea at home – which has understandably left the former Brighton boss facing the sack.
As re reported yesterday, the club are now firmly making plans to replace Potter, with former boss Slaven Bilic now the frontrunner, with the fan favourite very keen on a return to his spiritual home.
Potter though is simply now in a ‘must-win’ situation to save his job, with a defeat likely to see him dismissed, however he is expected to see the Everton game next Monday, but that will be his last regardless of the result should West Ham lose to Palace.
