Tonight’s battle is more than three points; jobs are on the line.
Both Julen Lopetegui, West Ham’s manager, and Gary O’Neil, Wolverhampton Wanderers manager, have been hitting the headlines the past couple weeks.
Both sides have had disappointing starts to their seasons, sitting deep in the bottom half of the Premier League table – each manager will look to tonight to prove to their fans they’re the right man for the job.

West Ham will be feeling the pressure, having achieved only four points in their last five games. Wolves have had a slightly more positive last five games, managing seven points.
There won’t be much to separate these two tonight in terms of score, but both have let in a high volume of goals, so a goal fest is very likely. East London will have a tense atmosphere in the air for both sides this evening. There is a great watch in store.
