Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: Arne Slot cut to 5/1
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has had his odds cut to 5/1 to become the fifth casualty of the 2025/26 Premier League Sack Race.
Slot has come under pressure following a shocking run of six defeats in seven, which leaves the defending champions down in 11th and already 11 points adrift of leaders Arsenal.

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.
Daniel Farke (Leeds): 8/11
Daniel Farke's sack race odds have been cut back to 8/11 following Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa.
Despite leading Leeds to the Championship title in dramatic fashion on the final day last season, rumours over his future surfaced during the summer amid reports the club were considering a managerial change.
While those whispers eventually died down, fresh doubts have emerged in recent weeks after Leeds picked up just three points from their last six matches, which leaves the club in the relegation zone.
Bookmakers have even begun offering odds on the next Leeds manager odds, with Marco Rose, Brendan Rodgers, and Steven Gerrard among the early frontrunners.
Arne Slot (Liverpool): 5/1
Arne Slot is now a surprise name in the upper echelons of the betting.
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 six defeats in seven games - including Saturday's shock 3-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest - which have seen bookmakers slash Slot's odds to just 5/1.
Marco Silva (Fulham): 6/1
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. Fulham’s away form has been especially troubling, with his side collecting only one point from a possible 18 on the road.
However, a much-needed 1–0 home win over Sunderland after the break eased some of the pressure and has seen Silva’s odds drift out to 6/1.
Scott Parker (Burnley): 10/1
Scott Parker, priced at 10/1, 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.
Following a short and disappointing spell with Club Brugge, Parker has rebuilt his reputation at Burnley, guiding the club to the third Premier League promotion of his managerial career.
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 positives, only Wolves have picked up fewer points than the Clarets, who are 19th in the table.
Thomas Frank (Tottenham): 10/1
Thomas Frank’s odds have shortened from 25/1 to 10/1 following Sunday’s heavy 4-1 loss to rivals Arsenal in the North London derby.
Frank made a promising start to his tenure at Tottenham, but the club’s form has dipped significantly, with just one win in their last five league matches.
Spurs’ home performances have been especially troubling - they have collected only five points from six games - which is the second fewest in the league after Wolves.
