Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: Fabian Hurzeler new favourite after Sean Dyche sacking

There's been yet another shake-up in the Premier League Sack Race following the double-sacking of Thomas Frank at Tottenham and Sean Dyche at Nottingham Forest.

Frank, who lasted eight months in the job, became this season's seventh top-flight casualty after Spurs lost 2-1 at home to Newcastle. This was swiftly followed by Sean Dyche getting axed by Nottingham Forest, who are now remarkably looking for their fourth permanent manager of the season.

Read on for the updated standings in the Sack Race.

Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: The Favourites

We've run through the top contenders in the running to become the ninth exit of the season, according to the latest odds - see the full market in the odds table above.

Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton): 3/1

Fabian Hurzeler, who was recently out at 50/1, now finds himself as the outright 3/1 favourite in the betting market.

Brighton have been on a real slump of late, having claimed just one win from their last 13 games, stretching back to November.

The stuttering Seagulls, who have gone from 5th to 14th, are without a win in six games following Wednesday's late defeat to Aston Villa.

Up next is a fourth round FA Cup trip to Liverpool, then Brentford away in the league.

Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace): 4/1

Oliver Glasner, 4/1, is a name to keep an eye on at Crystal Palace following the club's poor run of form.

Palace have carved out only one win from their last 14 matches in all competitions, which includes a humiliating FA Cup third round defeat to Macclesfield and a shock capitulation at home to Burnley last time out.

Glasner, who is set to leave Palace in the summer, is also an outside shot for the Tottenham job at 16/1.

Scott Parker (Burnley): 5/1

Scott Parker, 4/1, 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.

Only Wolves have picked up fewer points than the Clarets, who are 19th in the table and nine points adrift of safety.

However, Parker's side produced a stunning turnaround at Crystal Palace last time out to breathe new life into their survival bid. Trailing 2-0 after just 33 minutes and seemingly on course for a 17th defeat of the season, the Clarets rallied with three rapid goals to seal a dramatic 3-2 victory - their first win in 17 matches.
