• Manager leads side into two fixtures at
London Stadium• Chilean acknowledges club’s home form must improve

Manuel Pellegrini has acknowledged West Ham’s home form must improve if they are to pull away from the threat of relegation, with two fixtures at the London Stadium in the space of five days that could define the 66-year-old’s future.
The defeat against Crystal Palace on Saturday was West Ham’s ninth of the season in the
Premier League and has left the east London club perilously close to the bottom three in the leadup to Leicester’s visit on Saturday.
