Burnley manager Sean Dyche is being touted as a possible replacement for SlavenÂ BilicÂ at West Ham UnitedÂ if theÂ clubÂ decides to part ways with the Croatian,Â according to the Daily Mail.Â

The former LutonÂ Town defender has been in charge at Turf Moor since 2012 and apart from relegation in 2015, has seen his name grow inÂ stature as he and his sideÂ haveÂ becomeÂ a mainstay of the Premier League.

Wins against Chelsea on the opening day of the season and draws against Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool had seenÂ Dyche’s sideÂ rise to eighth place in the Premier League table before this weekend’s fixtures, equal on points withÂ the Reds.

If West Ham are going to make a move for Burnley’s manager, they may have a fight on their hands, asÂ EvertonÂ are also reportedly interested in bringing him toÂ GoodisonÂ Park.

Questions surroundingÂ Bilic’sÂ future came to the fore onceÂ more during theÂ week afterÂ the Hammers suffered a gutless 3-0 defeat at home againstÂ Brighton & Hove Albion in the league.Â It was a result which saw them drop to 16thÂ in the table.

West Ham faced Crystal Palace on Saturday and it is believed that the result will have a say on whether the CroatianÂ will be allowed to continue in his position.

A late Wilfried Zaha goal denied the Hammers all three points, with the London rivals playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw.

West Ham spent a significant amount of money in the summer and the club’s fans had high hopes ahead of 2017-18 starting.

However, poor performances and ever-changing tactics have not helped the Hammers build momentum.

AÂ League Cup win against Tottenham Hotspur during the week went some way to improve the unrest around the London Stadium but the West Ham board will be looking for a greater level of consistency â€“ of the sort they could getÂ fromÂ Dyche -Â if changes are to be kept on hold.
