Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: Scott Parker new favourite

There have been a whopping eight casualties so far in this season's Premier League Sack Race, including the recent double departure of Thomas Frank at Tottenham and Sean Dyche at Nottingham Forest.

With three months of football still to play, it feels as though the managerial merry-go-round may not have finished spinning just yet.

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.

Scott Parker (Burnley): 1/1

Scott Parker, 1/1, 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 with nine 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. They were then unfortunate to come away empty-handed from a thrilling 4-3 defeat to Brentford, and have since lost 2-0 at Everton.

Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace): 5/4

Oliver Glasner's odds have lengthened a touch from 1/3 to 5/4 in the betting.

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, picking up three wins from their last four games in all competitions, including a 3-1 victory away to Spurs last time out. The Eagles also remain in contention to win the Conference League.

As for the next Crystal Palace manager odds, Robbie Keane remains the favourite, ahead of Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche.

Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton): 8/1

Fabian Hurzeler, who was recently out at 50/1, now finds himself at 8/1 in the betting market.

This was initially a result of Brighton's slump in form, during which the club had claimed just one win in 13 games.

However, the stuttering Seagulls have since bounced back with consecutive wins against Brentford and Nottingham Forest to ease the pressure on their boss, albeit they then suffered a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.
