Overview

• West Ham sit bottom after a 3-0 loss to Sunderland and a 5-1 home defeat to Chelsea, conceding eight goals in two league games.
• Reports in the Daily Mail and Mirror say Potter will stay in charge for the Carabao Cup tie with Wolves and the league trip to Nottingham Forest, with further poor results likely to prompt board discussions.
• CaughtOffside, citing the Express, reports he could be dismissed if West Ham lose both upcoming matches, a claim presented as speculation rather than a confirmed plan.
• Potter said he was "incredibly disappointed" by the Chelsea result and stressed the team must be harder to score against as he prepares for the next fixtures.
• Recruitment scrutiny continues after Mohamed Kudus’ sale to Tottenham and Jean-Clair Todibo’s arrival as the main signing, with links to Raheem Sterling reported as the club explores reinforcements.
