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.
Thomas Frank (Tottenham): 3/1
Thomas Frank’s odds have once again shortened, from 12/1 to 3/1, following Tottenham's 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.
It was Tottenham's fifth Premier League defeat in their last nine matches, leaving the club 11th in the table.
Spurs now face back-to-back games against Liverpool and Crystal Palace.
Daniel Farke (Leeds): 4/1
Daniel Farke can be backed as the 4/1 second favourite despite Leeds' 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, drew with Liverpool 3-3, then came away from Brentford with a point.
Farke will now be looking for his troops to back these results up in upcoming games against 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): 6/1
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 seven game losing streak - leaving Parker under fire at 6/1 - which is the club's worst top-flight run since 1985.
Arne Slot (Liverpool): 6/1
Former odds-on favourite Arne Slot has seen his odds drift out to 6/1 following back-to-back wins against Inter Milan and Brighton.
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 then hit a brick wall, suffering numerous defeats and drama off the pitch after star man Mo Salah gave a critical interview in the aftermath of the draw at Leeds.
Salah's future remains up in the air, but he did come off the bench to help Liverpool claim the spoils at home to the Seagulls, in his final game before AFCON.
Marco Silva (Fulham): 18/1
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.
Three wins in five have followed with Silva still one to watch at 18/1.
