Tottenham and West Ham are struggling to find form — could their managers be next in line for a Premier League sacking?
The Premier League sack race is heating up, with Julen Lopetegui and Ange Postecoglou under growing scrutiny.
West Ham fans and hierarchy are running out of patience after a £132 million summer outlay has yielded just six wins in 20 matches, leaving fans questioning Lopetegui's leadership.
Meanwhile, Postecoglou’s Spurs, despite being praised for their entertaining style of play, find themselves far off pre-season expectations in 12th place - 21 points behind league leaders Liverpool and 12 points adrift of the top four.
The next few fixtures could prove decisive, as both managers battle to avoid an early Premier League departure and suffer the same fate as Erik ten Hag, Steve Cooper and Gary O'Neil.

Who is favourite to be the next manager sacked?
Julen Lopetegui is now the 11/8 favourite with Sky Bet to be the next Premier League manager dismissed, as West Ham’s disappointing form continues.
Despite a £132 million summer spend, the club has only managed to pick up 23 points from their opening 20 games of the season.
With high expectations following David Moyes' departure, Lopetegui’s inability to deliver consistent results - winning just three of their last 11 games and yet to secure consecutive victories this season - has put his job at risk in his first campaign in the Captial.
Their recent loss to Man City, who are in poor form with only two wins in their last 14 games, leaves the Spaniard at risk of being dismissed soon with the Hammers in 14th place.
Ange Postecoglu meanwhile, is 2/1 second favourite to be sacked next as calls for the Spurs hierarchy to dismiss him intensitfy following this weekend's loss to Newcastle.
Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle leaves Spurs in 12th place with just 24 points and marks their fourth consecutive game they have failed to win.
Ange Postecoglou had raised fans' hopes of ending Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought by claiming in September that he "always" wins a trophy in his second season.
However, with only 24 points, 15 fewer than last season at this stage of the season, Tottenham are in uncharted territory, sitting in the bottom half of the table.
