Premier League Sack Race 2025/26 Odds: The Favourites

We've run through the top contenders to be the sixth exit of the season, according to the latest odds - see the full market in the odds table above.

Nuno Santo (West Ham): 2/1

Nuno Santo is the favourite to become the sixth Premier League manager to lose his job.

West Ham's winless run was extended to eight matches, stretching back to early November, after they were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Brighton; a game in which they twice took the lead but failed to hold on for what would have been a valuable three points.

The Hammers, 18th, are four points adrift of safety with a must-win trip to Wolves up next.

Ruben Amorim (Man Utd): 4/1

Ruben Amorim, 4/1, appears to be running out of time at Man United with many fans losing faith in his tactics and approach after he reverted back to his favoured 3-4-3 formation during the poor draw at home to winless Wolves.

United became only the third club to fail to beat the Midlands side this season, who arrived at Old Trafford on the back of 12 straight defeats in all competitions.

Next up for Man United are trips to Leeds and Burnley, before the Manchester derby in mid-January.

Scott Parker (Burnley): 5/1

Scott Parker 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.

His current side, Burnley, have shown promise at times - notably with back-to-back October victories over Leeds and Wolves - and came agonisingly close to taking points off both Liverpool and Manchester United.

However, despite those small positives, only Wolves have picked up fewer points than the Clarets, who are 19th in the table and without a win in 10 games (eight of which they've lost), which leaves Parker under fire at 5/1.

Rob Edwards (Wolves): 10/1

Rob Edwards, 10/1, made the controversial decision to leave promotion-chasing Championship side Middlesbrough for struggling Wolves in November; and he's yet to win a single game at the helm.

Edwards lost all of his opening seven games, but did eventually stop the rot at Old Trafford, picking up a point in the club's final game of 2025.

Can he now go on and claim his first win against fellow strugglers West Ham?

Thomas Frank (Tottenham): 12/1

Thomas Frank is still among the contenders at 12/1 as he works through a challenging spell at Tottenham.

Consecutive losses to Nottingham Forest and Liverpool ramped up the pressure on Frank, but a vital away victory over Crystal Palace provided some relief.

A goalless draw against Brentford followed, with Tottenham looking to build momentum with upcoming fixtures against Sunderland and Bournemouth.
