West Ham's board is meeting today to discuss manager Slaven Bilic's situation.

The Hammers boss is set to face the axe after watching his side suffer a 3-0 battering at home to Brighton on Friday night, says The Sun.

West Ham currently sit 17th in the Premier League after nine games - and could slip into the relegation places this weekend.

Bilic has long been the bookies' favourite for the chop this term as his under-performing Hammers slide perilously towards the drop zone.

Now it appears the club's board have run out of patience and could sack the Croatian, 49, by the end of the day.
