Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: The Favourites
We've run through the top contenders in the running to become the seventh exit of the season, according to the latest odds - see the full market in the odds table above.
Thomas Frank (Tottenham): 4/5
Thomas Frank is once again the favourite at 4/5.
Tottenham are without a win in six league games following a 2-2 draw against Man City, a game in which they fought their way back from two goals down following an inspired second-half performance.
Spurs, 14th, are, however, unbeaten in four matches in all competitions, which includes wins over Borussia Dortmund and Frankfurt en route to an impressive fourth-place finish in the Champions League league phase.
Next up is a tricky run against Manchester United, Newcastle, and Arsenal.
Arne Slot (Liverpool): 3/1
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has seen his odds drift to 3/1 in the betting to become the seventh top-flight manager to depart this season.
Liverpool’s 13-game unbeaten run in all competitions recently came to an end on the south coast after they suffered a last-gasp 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth, however, they've since bounced-back with consecutive big home wins against Qarabag (6-0) and Newcastle (4-1).
The Reds, who face Man City next, will now be looking to close the gap on Man United and Chelsea.
Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace): 4/1
Oliver Glasner, 4/1, is a name to keep an eye on at Crystal Palace after a worrying downturn in form.
The Eagles are winless in their last 12 matches across all competitions, during which they suffered a humiliating defeat to Macclesfield - a side that sat 117 places below them in the football pyramid - in what has been labelled the greatest FA Cup shock of all time.
Skipper Marc Guehi has left for Manchester City, while striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is on the cusp of leaving.
Eddie Howe (Newcastle): 16/1
Eddie Howe has been the big mover in the market in the last few days, during which his odds have been slashed from 33/1 to the 16/1 fourth favourite.
Newcastle’s form has been erratic of late, managing just one win in 90 minutes across their last seven matches in all competitions.
The Magpies have dropped their last two league fixtures and slipped to 10th in the table, with a daunting Carabao Cup trip to Manchester City at the Etihad looming next.
