Slaven Bilic will manage West Ham until the end of the season it has been confirmed as he prepares for the biggest match of his reign, reports the London Evening Standard.

Speculation over Bilic's future has intensified following five Premier League defeats in a row that have left West Ham just five points above the relegation zone.

Tomorrow, they host Swansea, who are 18th in the table, and a report today suggested that West Ham would consider sacking Bilic if they lost to their relegation rivals.

However, a club source denied that and said: "It is 100 per cent guaranteed that Slaven Bilic will be our manager whatever happens tomorrow for the rest of the season. The next seven games are important and we will review the season, as we always do, after that."
