Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: Arne Slot odds-on for the sack
Arne Slot is odds-on to become the fifth casualty of the 2025/26 Premier League Sack Race following Liverpool's chaotic 3-3 draw with Leeds and Mo Salah's subsequent explosive post-match interview.
Slot has come under immense pressure following a shocking run of form, which has seen the disjointed Reds win just four of their last 15 matches in all competitions; a run which includes nine defeats.
Read on for the latest standings in the Sack Race.
Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: The Favourites
We've run through the top contenders to be the fifth exit of the season, according to the latest odds - see the full market in the odds table above.
Arne Slot (Liverpool): 4/6
Arne Slot is now the 4/6 frontrunner to be sacked next.
Slot led Liverpool to the title in his first season, then oversaw five straight league wins at the start of the current campaign.
However, the Reds have since endured a rotten run of two wins in 10 games (2D, 6L), while they twice threw away the lead in a hectic 3-3 draw away to struggling Leeds last weekend.
Star man Mo Salah was dropped to the bench for the third game in a row and didn't even make it onto the pitch at Elland Road. Salah then piled the pressure on Slot in a post-match interview after he claimed their relationship had broken down.
Daniel Farke (Leeds): 7/2
Daniel Farke's odds have drifted out to 7/2 following a mini turnaround in form.
The pressure was on the German following a four game losing streak which left Leeds in the relegation zone.
However, his side then stunned Chelsea 3-1 and followed this up by twice coming back to draw with Liverpool 3-3.
Farke will now be looking for his troops to back these results up in upcoming games against Brentford, Crystal Palace, and Sunderland.
Despite Leeds' improved fortunes, bookmakers are still offering odds on the next Leeds manager, with Gary O'Neil, Erik ten Hag, and Carlos Corberan among the early frontrunners.
Scott Parker (Burnley): 4/1
Scott Parker was the unfortunate “winner” of the Premier League Sack Race in 2022/23 after being dismissed by Bournemouth in the wake of their 9-0 hammering at Anfield.
His current side Burnley have shown promise at times - notably with back-to-back October victories over Leeds and Wolves - and came agonisingly close to taking points off both Liverpool and Manchester United.
However, despite those small positives, only Wolves have picked up fewer points than the Clarets, who are 19th in the table and on a dire six game losing streak - leaving Parker under fire at 4/1.
Thomas Frank (Tottenham): 12/1
Thomas Frank’s odds have lengthened from 4/1 to 12/1 following a spirited 2-2 draw at Newcastle and then a 2-0 win over his former side Brentford.
However, fans will now want to see a sustained run of results over the festive period.
Marco Silva (Fulham): 16/1
Marco Silva, whose contract is due to expire at the end of the season, has overseen an inconsistent start that has cast doubt on his future at Fulham.
Heading into November’s international break, Silva had become the leading candidate for the sack after suffering five defeats in six matches.
Two valuable wins followed over Sunderland and Fulham, but consecutive home defeats mean Silva is one to watch at 16/1.
