Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: Oliver Glasner's odds cut
Nuno Espirito Santo is the favourite to become the seventh manager to leave in this season's Premier League Sack Race, ahead of Thomas Frank and Oliver Glasner.
Crystal Palace boss Glasner, who oversaw a shock FA Cup defeat at the hands of non-league Macclesfield, has had his odds trimmed in the betting following the news that he will leave the club when his contract expires in the summer.

Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: The Favourites
We've run through the top contenders to be the seventh exit of the season, according to the latest odds - see the full market in the odds table above.
Nuno Santo (West Ham): 13/8
Nuno Santo was previously the red-hot 1/10 favourite to be axed next, but while his odds have drifted to 13/8, he remains the favourite for the chop.
West Ham, who needed extra-time to beat Championship side QPR in the FA Cup, were far from convincing but eventually got the job done.
Nuno's side remain winless in the league in 10 matches, which stretches back to early November, and includes damaging back-to-back defeats to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and Wolves.
The Hammers, 18th, are seven points adrift of safety ahead of their trip to Spurs.
Thomas Frank (Tottenham): 9/4
Thomas Frank remains bang in the mix at 9/4 to become the seventh top-flight manager to leave.
Tottenham have claimed only two wins from their last 12 Premier League games, with just one win in six, while their hopes of an FA Cup run were ended in the third round by Aston Villa.
Frank now faces a must-win at home to West Ham, who themselves are without a win in 10.
Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace): 3/1
Oliver Glasner 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 nine matches across all competitions, a run made even more damaging by a 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.
Arne Slot (Liverpool): 5/1
Arne Slot appears to have weathered the storm at Liverpool, who are now unbeaten in 10 matches across all competitions, which includes holding Arsenal to a goalless draw at the Emirates.
However, the Dutchman's odds remain relatively short at 5/1, which could be due to the news that former Liverpool star Xabi Alonso is now available for hire after he left his post at Real Madrid.
Scott Parker (Burnley): 16/1
Scott Parker, 16/1, 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 without a win in 12 games (nine of which they've lost).
On the plus side, Burnley did end their winless run with a 5-1 thrashing of Millwall in the FA Cup third round, which came after a respectable 2-2 draw against Man Utd.
