According to a joint report from the Telegraph’s Matt Law and John Percy, a Tottenham loss in their upcoming game against West Ham could see the end of Mauricio Pochettino’s time at the North London club.
Spurs currently sit in 14th place in the Premier League, a point above the Hammers, and both sides will go into the game on the back of poor runs.

If either team loses, you would expect that the pressure on their respective manager will only continue to increase and it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that either of them could face the sack.
Tottenham’s aims were to secure another top-four place whilst also pushing for honours, but they’re currently 11 points off fourth-placed Man City, and a loss to the Hammers could see that grap grow further, depending on the result of City’s clash with Chelsea.
West Ham, meanwhile, find themselves just two places, and five points, above the relegation zone, and a loss at home to Spurs on Saturday could see that gap close and then the pressure will really be on Manuel Pellegrini.
