The Premier League is a uniquely pressurised environment in which to play football, but as we all know, the manager often carries the can. From Jurgen Klopp to Pep Guardiola, through Jose Mourinho and including Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, every Premier League manager operates in the full knowledge that a bad run of results can lead to their dismissal.

Who are the favourites to lose their job in Premier League and who should you be backing to be the next manager to leave his post? Let’s take a look at the latest sportsbetting futures market to offer terrific value for sportsbettors during lockdown.

The Favourites

Of the current favourites, each could appeal to you in different ways. The current bookies favourite is Chris Wilder (5/2), who has presided over the worst start to a Premier League season ever at Bramall Lane. That could and possibly should have cost him his job already, but it hasn’t, for the valid reason that The Blades were cutting their cloth at a table they weren’t expected to survive at for a year anyway. Destabilising the squad now would condemn them to relegation and the perils of trying to survive in the The Championship with a broken roster and direction. When they are relegated, keeping Wilder will give them the best chance of surviving and bouncing back at the first attempt.
