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.
Arne Slot (Liverpool): 2/5
Liverpool boss Arne Slot is now the odds-on favourite to become the seventh top-flight manager to depart this season.
Liverpool’s 13-game unbeaten run in all competitions came to a dramatic end on the south coast after they suffered a last-gasp 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth.
The Reds have now failed to win any of their last five top-flight games, dropping points at Anfield against the likes of Leeds and Burnley, which has seen the defending champions slip to 6th in the table behind Manchester United and Chelsea.
Adding fuel to the fire is the availability of former Liverpool star Xabi Alonso after he recently left his post at Real Madrid.
Thomas Frank (Tottenham): 15/8
Next in the betting you'll find the under-fire Thomas Frank at 15/8.
Tottenham are without a win in five league games following a 2-2 draw against struggling Burnley, a game in which Christian Romero rescued an injury-time equaliser.
Spurs are now 14th in the table, just eight points above the relegation zone. Next up is a trip to Frankfurt, followed by back-to-back league clashes against the Manchester clubs.
Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace): 10/1
Oliver Glasner, 10/1, is a name to keep an eye on at Crystal Palace after a worrying downturn in form and a humiliating FA Cup exit to Macclesfield, coupled with the news that he will leave the club at the end of the season.
The Eagles are winless in their last 11 matches across all competitions, a run made even more damaging by a recent cup defeat to Macclesfield - a side sitting 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 has informed the club that he wishes to leave.
