'Pellegrini not working with quality he is used to at West Ham'

Pablo Zabaleta insists that the Hammers manager can turn it around, though he accepts the club has a lack of quality

Pablo Zabaleta admits West Ham must improve if they are to avoid relegation this season, though he accepts that Manuel Pellegrini is not working with the quality he is used to.

The Hammers have lost all four of their Premier League games thus far this campaign, and endured a disappointing collapse against Wolves last time out, losing 1-0 in the final minute.

Reports have subsequently claimed that Pellegrini could be sacked, but it is understood that the cost of axing him would prove prohibitive, the Chilean having agreed a deal worth around £7 million ($9m).
