West Ham boss David Moyes and his staff fear they're one game away from the sack.

The Daily Mail says Moyes and his West Ham assistant coaches fear the axe if they're beaten by the Premier League's bottom side Southampton.

Sources close to the coaching staff say they're worried, particularly if the home support turn on them during the game.

It's suggested chairman David Sullivan could be forced into a decision if there's a backlash, despite his confidence in Moyes being able to drive the team away from the dropzone.

West Ham are 18th in the table, a point from safety, having won just two of their last 15 league games.
