Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: Heat back on Arne Slot
The season is rapidly approaching its final stretch, and with eight managerial departures already recorded in this season’s Premier League Sack Race, it feels as though the managerial merry-go-round may not have finished spinning just yet.
With several bosses now under increasing pressure, including Arne Slot at Liverpool, we’ve taken a closer look at the latest standings in the Sack Race.
(Note: Tottenham manager Igor Tudor doesn't feature in the betting market).

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.
Scott Parker (Burnley): 11/8
Scott Parker, 11/8, 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 with eight games to go.
Parker’s side have shown genuine resilience in recent weeks. They staged a remarkable comeback at Crystal Palace, overturning a two-goal deficit to claim victory, before snatching a dramatic late equaliser away at Chelsea, and were unfortunate to come away empty-handed from a thrilling 4-3 defeat to Brentford.
However, they’ve struggled for victories throughout the campaign, managing just four so far, and must start picking up wins soon before it’s too late.
Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace): 6/4
Oliver Glasner remains the second favourite at 6/4.
Crystal Palace are navigating a spell of uncertainty, with several key players facing unclear futures and Glasner himself set to depart at the end of the season.
However, they have been much improved on the pitch in recent weeks, losing just once in their last seven games in all competitions, as they target a deep run in the Conference League and top-10 league finish.
As for the next Crystal Palace manager odds, Robbie Keane remains the favourite, ahead of Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche.
Arne Slot (Liverpool): 7/2
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has seen his odds sliced to 7/2 in the betting to become the ninth top-flight manager to depart this season.
A 50/1 outsider earlier this month, Slot has come under increased pressure following Liverpool's stuttering run of results, which includes a shock loss to Wolves, a disappointing defeat to Galatasaray in the first-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, and most recently a failure to beat a Spurs side who had lost their last five on the spin.
Definitely one to keep an eye on, especially if the Reds exit Europe.
