Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: The Favourites
We've run through the top contenders in the running to become the eighth exit of the season, according to the latest odds - see the full market in the odds table above.
Scott Parker (Burnley): 4/1
Scott Parker, 4/1, 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 16 games, including a damaging 2-0 defeat at home to West Ham last weekend.
The Clarets, who last won in October, are now 11 points adrift of safety.
Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton): 4/1
Fabian Hurzeler, who was recently out at 50/1, now finds himself the joint 4/1 favourite in the betting market.
After the defeat to rivals Crystal Palace, Brighton fans directed their frustration towards their manager, who has now claimed just one win from his last 12 games, stretching back to November.
The stuttering Seagulls, 14th, are without a win in five games and now face tricky trips to Aston Villa and Brentford.
Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace): 5/1
Oliver Glasner, 5/1, is a name to keep an eye on at Crystal Palace following Frank's departure from Tottenham.
Glasner, who is set to leave Palace in the summer, is one of the names being touted as a possible replacement for Frank in North London.
