Is time running out for Nuno Espirito Santo at relegation-threatened West Ham?

The Portuguese tactician replaced the sacked Graham Potter back in September, but the Hammers have only won twice under his reign and are currently on a nine-game winless run in the Premier League.

And the manner of their 3-0 defeat by bottom side Wolves leaves Nuno and his players with plenty of questions to answer.

The visitors failed to register a single shot on target at Molineux on Saturday, generating an xG of just 0.25 compared to Wolves' xG of 1.52.

Moreover, they now have the worst defence in the Premier League, having conceded 41 goals in 20 matches - taking over that unwanted tag from Rob Edwards' men.

Nuno took over after Potter was dismissed following only eight months in charge with the club 19th in the table.

But three months under Nuno and they are still stuck in 18th place and four points adrift of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest with a relegation six-pointer against Sean Dyche's side coming up next.

A win at home against the fellow relegation strugglers on Tuesday might just buy Nuno some breathing space but lose it and the questions over his future will only grow.

With confidence shattered and the threat of relegation growing week by week, the next 90 minutes could define West Ham's season and Nuno's time in charge.
