That was only the Hammers’ second top-flight victory of 2022/23 in their opening eight fixtures, though, and they remain just one point above the bottom three following a slow start to the season.

Thomas Tuchel and Scott Parker have already been dismissed from their roles at Chelsea and Bournemouth respectively, while the likes of Brendan Rodgers and Steve Cooper are also coming under scrutiny.

However, Moyes perhaps has more credit in the bank than the aforementioned managers due to his impressive previous exploits with West Ham.

After guiding them to safety with ease in his first stint at the club, the Scottish tactician returned on a permanent basis in December 2019, guiding the east London outfit to a sixth-placed finish, the Europa League semi-finals and a seventh-placed finish.
