Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: Thomas Frank cut to 4/1
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has had his odds cut to just 4/1 to become the fifth casualty of the 2025/26 Premier League Sack Race.
Frank has come under pressure following a shocking run of three defeats on the spin, including a 2-1 loss at home to Fulham, which leaves the Dane second behind Daniel Farke in the betting.

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): 1/2
Daniel Farke remains the odds-on favourite for the sack at 1/2.
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 seven matches, which leaves the club in the relegation zone.
They did put up a superb fight away to Man City, clawing their way back from two goals down, however, a late goal condemned the club to their fourth straight defeat.
Bookmakers have even begun offering odds on the next Leeds manager odds, with Gary O'Neil, Bo Svensson, and Carlos Corberan among the early frontrunners.
Thomas Frank (Tottenham): 4/1
Thomas Frank’s odds have shortened from 12/1 to 4/1 following three straight defeats to Arsenal (4-1), PSG (5-3), and Fulham (2-1).
Frank made a promising start to his tenure at Tottenham, but the club’s form has dipped alarmingly in recent weeks, with just one win in their last seven matches in all competitions.
Spurs’ home performances have been especially troubling - they have collected only five points from seven games - which is the second fewest in the league after Wolves.
Arne Slot (Liverpool): 8/1
Arne Slot features in the upper echelons of the betting at 8/1.
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 eight games, while they got thrashed 4-1 at home by PSV in the Champions League.
Slot did, however, lead his side to a 1-0 win over West Ham last weekend which has eased the pressure a little heading into December.
Marco Silva (Fulham): 12/1
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.
However, a much-needed 1–0 home win over Sunderland, followed by a 2-1 win away to Spurs, has seen Silva's odds drift to 12/1.
Scott Parker (Burnley): 12/1
Scott Parker, priced at 12/1, 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 small positives, only Wolves have picked up fewer points than the Clarets, who are 19th in the table and on a four game losing streak.
