What the expert says...
Julen Lopetegui and Gary O'Neil share favouritism ahead of 'El Sackico' on Monday
Monday Night Football sees West Ham take on Wolves in what has been dubbed as 'El Sackico' with both Julen Lopetegui and Gary O'Neil under intense pressure in their roles.
Both manager's share favouritism to be the next manager to go after poor form in the season so far and both have sat at the top of the market in recent weeks.
Now after reports of ultimatum's from the West Ham and Wolves boards respectively it looks like tonight's match could see the loser be sacked from their role.
