The bookmakers have been revising their Premier League Sack Race betting odds following Crystal Palace's decision to sack Patrick Vieira. The Frenchman paid for a string of poor results and those customers that backed him to get the chop next have been paid out.
Antonio Conte is now heavy favourite after describing his team as "selfish players" following a 3-3 draw at St Mary's last weekend. The Italian was all guns blazing in his press conference and also suggested that the club's structure wasn't set up for success, with the betting apps taking a dim view of his future at the club.
David Moyes has drifted in the market despite the fact that West Ham are scrapping for their Premier League status at the moment, with the Hammers hovering above the drop zone after a recent 1-1 draw against Aston Villa although the Scot remains in charge for now.
The football betting sites think that Brendan Rodgers also has time to get things right at Leicester City who earned a 1-1 draw at Brentford before the international break and it's all eyes on Conte right now.
When Will Antonio Conte Leave Spurs? (3/1 with Coral)
It appears that Antonio Conte could be coming to the end of his time at Tottenham Hotspur. The 53-year-old took charge of the team in November 2021, helping Spurs qualify for the Champions League last season, and there were high hopes coming into the current campaign after a number of high-profile recruits were made.
However, the team have largely been inconsistent under the Italian and their Champions League last-16 exit at the hands of Milan saw the new betting sites take a dim view of Conte's future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with his price plummeting after the team's 3-3 draw at Southampton.
The manager's comments after the Milan game strengthened the view that he might not be around for much longer although it was nothing compared to his comments after the 3-3 draw with Southampton. He described seeing "11 selfish players" on the field despite the fact that the team led 3-1 in that game, with Conte also claiming that failure was part of Tottenham's story under the current ownership.
It would come as no surprise to see Conte sacked during the international break and that is reflected in the latest betting odds.
David Moyes Still in the Firing Line (8/1 with BetVictor)
West Ham may decide to change their manager at the end of the season, but that decision could be brought forward if the Hammers continue to suffer results such as the 4-0 hammering at the hands of Brighton. The ship was steadied a little after a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa although they go into the international break sitting in the dreaded drop zone.
It was quite something for captain Declan Rice to admit after the defeat against Brighton that West Ham had been "played off the park", and many of the new betting sites had David Moyes as odds-on in the sack race market although he's now drifted due to Conte's odds shortening in the same market.
Moyes retains the goodwill of the owners for now, having twice steered the team into European competition, and they are still alive in the Europa Conference League this season. Considering that the Scot remains in charge at the time of writing, it now appears likely that the London club will stick with him to ensure that the Hammers stay afloat.
Potter a Massive Drifter After Chelsea Land Wins (14/1 with BetVictor)
Graham Potter was handed a five-year contract at Chelsea in September, and the betting sites had been taking an increasingly dim view of his long-term future at the club. However, perhaps the 47-year-old can steer the London outfit to the business end of the Champions League and that would certainly boost his chances of survival.
Realistically, Chelsea can't challenge for a top-four spot this season, so the only way that they can continue to dine at Europe's top table is by winning the European Cup on 10 June. Stranger things have happened, and Potter will hope that the massive investment in players can land some important wins and keep him in employment at Stamford Bridge.
It had been five Premier League games without a win for Chelsea, but a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Leeds United meant that Graham Potter had a little breathing space at Stamford Bridge. This result was followed by a fantastic performance in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, which saw the Blues overturn a 1-0 deficit to reach the last eight of the competition. A 3-1 win at Leicester kept things moving in the right direction and his job appears safe despite a 2-2 draw with Everton.
Gary O'Neil Drifts in Sack Race Market (20/1 with BetVictor)
Gary O'Neil replaced Scott Parker as manager of Bournemouth at the beginning of the season, with the former firstly becoming the caretaker boss before being handed a permanent contract. He has fared very well considering the relative resources at the Dorset club, and the betting sites lengthened his sack race betting odds after a 1-0 win over Liverpool.
O'Neil is firmly punching above his weight with a Cherries team who didn't seem to have a squad ready at the beginning of the season, with the team only one point away from safety despite a 3-0 defeat at Villa. The manager almost executed the perfect game plan when his team led 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium and it's hard to see why the owners would consider making a change considering there's a genuine chance of staying up.
Rodgers Unlikely to Get Leicester Sack (10/1 with BetVictor)
The betting sites still have Brendan Rodgers as one of the Premier League sack race favourites with Leicester averaging less than a point per game this season. It's been a rollercoaster ride for the Foxes although defeats against Southampton and Leicester means that City are in a relegation battle even after a 1-1 draw at Brentford.
Rodgers remains a popular figure at the King Power Stadium despite Leicester's odds shortening to be relegated although football is a results business. The team will need wins after the international break, although a change of manager appears unlikely.
It's unlikely that the manager will leave at this point in the season, although it feels as though the Northern Irishman is coming to the end of his time with the Midlands club. Perhaps he will hand over the reins to a successor at the end of the campaign, although Championship football remains a distinct possibility.
Jurgen Klopp Unlikely to Make Liverpool Exit (33/1 with William Hill)
Jurgen Klopp saw his team challenge hard across all four fronts last season, pushing Manchester City all the way in the Premier League title race after previously winning the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. They also reached the Champions League final before losing to Real Madrid.
There were high hopes of another successful season this time around, although it's been a campaign of transition for a team who lost Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich last summer, and it's only recently that Darwin Nunez started to find his best form along with Mohamed Salah.
While Klopp has traded at short odds for the sack race this season, he's now drifting and likely to be at Anfield for some time to come yet. The 7-0 win over Manchester United was an enormous boost for supporters, although their campaign was summed up when being followed by a 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth.
