Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa reportedly has two games to save job

Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa is reportedly under significant pressure at Craven Cottage following the club's poor start to the season.

The Cottagers are currently bottom of the Premier League table after accumulating just two points from their opening six league games.

Fulham looked well placed to pick up their first league win of the campaign at Ipswich Town on Saturday after Ryan Sessegnon had given them the lead in the 55th minute.

But late goals from Abdoul Ouattara and Dara O'Shea condemned Arbeloa's side to defeat and prevented them from climbing out of the relegation zone.

Football Insider have reported that Arbeloa's future is far from certain and it is claimed that he will lose his job if Fulham lose their next two league games.

The defeat Portman Road has been seen as a major setback and the reports suggest that the club's hierarchy are prepared to take decisive action.

Fulham's upcoming fixtures should provide Arbeloa with the opportunity to pick up his first victory.

Hull City are the visitors to Craven Cottage on Saturday, while Fulham travel to another newly-promoted side in the form of Coventry City the following weekend.

A return of four points or more would temporarily reduce the pressure on Arbeloa, but he will know that a continuation of his side's poor form could impact his position.
