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.
Nuno Santo (West Ham): 2/1
Nuno Santo has been installed as the new favourite for the sack after his odds were cut from 14/1 to just 2/1 in the betting.
West Ham's struggles continued as they sank to a third straight defeat, conceding a late goal at home to Fulham, which extended their winless run to seven games, stretching back to early November.
The Hammers, 18th, remain five points adrift of safety.
Scott Parker (Burnley): 5/1
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 without a win in nine games (seven of which they've lost), which leaves Parker under fire at 5/1.
Thomas Frank (Tottenham): 6/1
Thomas Frank is still among the contenders at 6/1 as he works through a challenging spell at Tottenham.
Consecutive losses to Nottingham Forest and Liverpool ramped up the pressure on Frank, but a vital away victory over Crystal Palace provided some relief.
Tottenham will now be looking to build momentum with upcoming fixtures against Brentford, Sunderland, and Bournemouth.
Daniel Farke (Leeds): 10/1
Daniel Farke's odds have drifted out to 10/1 following Leeds' 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, drew with Liverpool 3-3, then picked up points against Brentford and Sunderland with a thumping 4-1 win over Crystal Palace in between.
Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth): 10/1
Bournemouth’s form has taken a worrying downturn, with the club now nine matches without a win following the weekend's heavy 4-1 defeat to Brentford.
The Cherries were flying high in 2nd after a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest in late October, but since then they have picked up just four points from a possible 27.
That slump has seen them slide down to 15th in the table.
