Lopetegui clashes with West Ham star
Spaniard fighting for his job at London Stadium
Hit with 'You're getting sacked in the morning' chants
The Hammers couldn't follow up their impressive 2-0 win at Newcastle late last month by beating Arsenal, falling 5-2 to the Gunners at the London Stadium. West Ham were 4-0 down after only 36 minutes and some home fans had left the stadium by the half-time whistle.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Emotions were running high in the West Ham dressing room, too. According to the Daily Mail, Lopetegui was involved in a heated exchange with Jean-Clair Todibo after the defender made clear his frustration during the interval.
DID YOU KNOW?
That defeat preceded Tuesday's 3-1 defeat to Leicester City that left the Hammers 14th in the Premier League table before Wednesday's games. Unsurprisingly, Lopetegui now finds himself at serious risk of losing his job, with the club failing to progress after replacing David Moyes with the former Sevilla and Wolves boss in the summer. Incidentally, Wolves are up next for West Ham in a game that could prove to be Lopetegui's last in the role.

WHAT NEXT FOR WEST HAM?
West Ham fans heckled Lopetegui with 'you're getting sacked in the morning' chants on Tuesday, and those words will be ringing around the London Stadium on Monday evening should Wolves take all three points.
