Premier League Sack Race Odds: Lopetegui Favourite To Follow Cooper
© PA

Erik ten Hag was the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season when Manchester United made their decision at the end of October.

Ten Hag was followed by Steve Cooper, whose time in charge of Leicester lasted just 12 games. 

The best betting sites continue to update their latest odds as to which manager might be the next to go. 

We look at who is in the firing line and the latest Premier League sack race odds suggest it is a three-horse race.

Time Running Out On Lopetegui 

Julen Lopetegui's time as West Ham manager is in danger of running out just before Christmas. 

The Spaniard was picked to replace David Moyes, but his first four months in charge have been a struggle, with just four wins from his first 13 league games in charge. 

A 5-2 home defeat to Arsenal, where all seven goals were scored in the first half, has increased the pressure on the former Spain and Real Madrid manager. 

The Hammers have a run of games coming up, including a home clash with Wolves and a trip to Southampton, that should see them pick up some much-needed points.

However, nothing is guaranteed in the Premier League and Lopetegui will hope to go unbeaten before hosting Liverpool on December 29. 

Lopetegui is the 11/8 favourite on football betting sites to be the next manager sacked.

Martin Remains One Of Favourites To Be Sacked

One win in their opening 13 league games has done little to move Southampton manager Russell Martin from near the top of this market, that no manager wants to be favourite for.

Saints face Chelsea, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Liverpool in their next four league games and based on their form so far this season, it's difficult to see them picking many points up from those games. 

If Martin is still in charge when they travel to Fulham on December 22, then he will have done very well to avoid the sack. 

Martin is the 2/1 second favourite on betting apps to be the next Premier League to be sacked.

Dyche Looks Vulnerable Again

As hard as he might work, Sean Dyche cannot seem to move himself away from the top of the sack race market.

Everton have now gone four games without scoring a goal as they were humbled 4-0 at Manchester United, to increase the pressure on Dyche. 

A home game with Wolves offers Dyche a chance of picking up a win, before three huge matches against Liverpool and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with a trip to Arsenal sandwiched in the middle.

Dyche is 5/2 to be the next Premier League manager sacked.

O’Neil Still In Danger

A 4-2 home defeat to Bournemouth was a reminder to Wolves manager Gary O'Neil that winning at home in the Premier League is not as straightforward as some would think.

Wolves were full of confidence ahead of the clash with the Cherries, but a hat-trick of penalties from Justin Kluivert put paid to O'Neil's hopes of winning three in a row. 

O'Neil's side are away to Everton and West Ham in their next two games before a home clash with Ipswich and a trip to Leicester follows that.

The Wolves boss is 7/1 to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.

Eagles Boss Glasner Turning Things Around

It may have taken longer than he would have liked, but Oliver Glasner is starting to build some momentum at Crystal Palace. 

The Eagles are 17th in the table after three draws in their last four and if Glasner can find a way of turning those stalemates into wins, Palace fans will be a lot happier.

A trip to Ipswich in their next game is a great opportunity to pick up three valuable points before welcoming Manchester City to Selhurst Park on December 7. 

Glasner is currently 12/1 to be the next boss to lose their job in the English top flight.

Pep Needs To Find A Win Quickly

Pep Guardiola is in the worst run of form in his illustrious managerial career and a 2-0 defeat at Liverpool has all but ended their hopes of winning an unprecedented five successive titles. 

No wins in their last seven games in all competitions and the legal battle going on behind the scenes as the club fight 115 charges against alleged financial breaches make it an uncertain future for the club. 

Guardiola signed a new two-year contract recently, which suggests he's not going anywhere, but he is 20/1 in the sack race.

Other managers in the conversation include Tottenham's Ange Postecoglou (20/1), Fulham's Marco Silva (50/1) and Brentford's Thomas Frank (50/1).
