This Premier League season has seen significant changes, with six managers leaving their roles since the season began.
Two have already stepped down this month, and more changes could follow as pressure grows across the league.
Here are the current leading contenders in the Premier League’s ‘Sack Race’:
Scott Parker – 16/1
Scott Parker is under pressure, with Burnley struggling in the relegation zone and currently fifth in the odds.
Despite showing some fight by earning draws against Manchester United and Liverpool, Burnley must convert those into wins to avoid relegation. They sit eight points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest and have not won a Premier League match since October.
Oliver Glasner – 7/1
Oliver Glasner’s position is precarious after tensions with the Crystal Palace board surfaced this week.
He criticized the sale of key players Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi, stating it undermines his squad.

After discussions, Glasner will remain until his contract ends this summer, but his future remains uncertain.
Arne Slot – 6/1
Things have turned challenging for Arne Slot, who had a successful season with Liverpool last year. This season, Liverpool currently sits fourth, trailing Arsenal by 14 points.
They have drawn four consecutive league matches, complicating matters further with the potential interest in Xabi Alonso as a replacement.

Nuno Espirito Santo – 2/1
Nuno Espirito Santo was hired by West Ham after Graham Potter’s unsuccessful stint. However, Nuno has faced challenges, winning only three of 17 league games during his time.
The latest victory against Spurs this weekend may have bought him a bit more time.
Thomas Frank – 2/9
Thomas Frank is the top candidate to be the next manager to leave, with noticeable unrest following Tottenham’s recent loss to West Ham.
Fans expressed their frustration, chanting for his dismissal amid West Ham’s struggles, leaving the team in 14th place.
