If fan reaction is anything to go by, it looks like there’s more pressure on Tottenham Hotspur than West Ham United going into this weekend’s game.
Both Manuel Pellegrini and Mauricio Pochettino are under serious pressure amid woeful runs of form, but the latter could be feeling the consequences sooner.
According to the Independent, many at Tottenham are viewing it as a ‘crunch clash’ and have even started to investigate potential replacements.

READ WEST HAM VERDICT
If you can read anything from this, it’s that Spurs are there for the taking this weekend and the heated game presents a major opportunity for West Ham to get back on track.
To supply the fatal blow to Pochettino’s tenure would provide bragging rights, but sensibly speaking three huge points are on offer for both teams.
Pellegrini will know results have to improve sooner rather than later though, otherwise, both teams may have new bosses come Christmas.
