West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini is fighting for his job going into Monday night's clash with Arsenal.

The Sun says defeat against the Gunners followed by another poor result against fellow strugglers Southampton would leave the Hammers board facing having to axe the Chilean.

The 66-year-old earnt a stay of execution after he led the side to a much needed win at Chelsea last week.

But that 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge was their only win in the last ten matches, and was followed by another drab display at Wolves in midweek.

And should things fail to improve over the next seven days then the club are leaning towards making the change at the top before Christmas.
