Premier League Sack Race: Which Manager Is Next For The Chop?

West Ham boss Graham Potter has moved to the head of the managerial sack race after another comprehensive defeat at the weekend.
A 3-0 loss to Tottenham has ramped up the pressure on the former Brighton and Chelsea boss, and betting sites now have him as favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job.
Manchester United's Ruben Amorim was favourite before the weekend, and he remains in danger after a toothless defeat in the Manchester derby.
Nuno Espirito Santo was the first managerial casualty of the season, dismissed and swiftly replaced at Nottingham Forest by Ange Postecoglou.
Who will be the next manager to leave their post?
Here, Gambling.com look at the latest odds available on the best football betting sites.

Potter's Position Under Threat
West Ham's dreadful start to the season continued at the weekend.
Having lost their first two games of the season, fans were hoping that a 3-0 away win against Nottingham Forest might be the catalyst for a change in form.
That hope was dashed after defeat to Spurs, in which key player Tomas Soucek was sent off.
The Hammers have conceded 11 goals in four games, and Potter is the Evens favourite with William Hill to get the sack.
Premier League Sack Race Odds
Manager | Club | Odds | Betting Site |
Graham Potter | West Ham | Evens | |
Ruben Amorim | Manchester United | 5/2 | |
Vitor Pereira | Wolves | 9/2 | |
Daniel Farke | Leeds | 8/1 | |
Ange Postecoglou | Nottingham Forest | 10/1 | |
Keith Andrews | Brentford | 14/1 | |

Amorim Next To Go?
Another weekend, another defeat for Manchester United.
Defeat to bitter rivals City will hurt more than any other, and there are few positives to take out of the 3-0 loss.
It is now United's worst start in Premier League history, and it is hard to see Amorim lasting at the club unless there is a huge uplift in form.
The Portuguese is the 5/2 second favourite to lose his job.
Pereira Under Pressure
Wolves manager Vitor Pereira remains winless after four games, with a 1-0 loss to Newcastle the latest defeat.
He now finds himself under pressure despite steadying the club last term, where he steered them clear of relegation after a difficult start.
The loss of Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo has been evident, and with just two goals scored, the lack of attacking prowess is worrying.
Pereira is 9/2 in the sack race market.
Focus Still On Farke
Daniel Farke remains in the running to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked despite guiding Leeds back to the top flight last season.
Promotion earned him goodwill with fans and backing from the board, but history looms large - his time at Norwich produced just six wins in 49 Premier League games.
Leeds have performed ok so far this season, although they still sit in 16th place with just one win.
Farke is priced at 8/1 with betting apps.
Glasner Cuts Frustrated Figure
Oliver Glasner led Crystal Palace to their first major trophy with last season’s FA Cup victory over Manchester City, followed by a Community Shield win against Liverpool.
This campaign opened with draws against Chelsea and Nottingham Forest before a 3-0 win at Aston Villa ahead of the international break.
A goalless draw with Sunderland keeps the Eagles unbeaten, but there still seems to be some ongoing turmoil behind the scenes.
The Austrian has voiced frustration over transfer dealings, particularly Eberechi Eze’s move to Arsenal and Marc Guehi’s transfer to Liverpool, which eventually collapsed.
Some reports suggested that Glasner had threatened to quit if Guehi's move happened, and he is 14/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave.
Andrews Surprising Start
Many people feared for Brentford, having lost some key players, and the surprise appointment of Keith Andrews as head coach.
Andrews’ reign began with a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest, before victory over Aston Villa and an EFL Cup win over Bournemouth steadied the ship.
A setback against Sunderland renewed the pressure, but last weekend's 2-2 draw with Chelsea was impressive.
Andrews was 12/1 to get the sack last week, but has now drifted to 14/1.
Could Ange Or Emery Get The Boot
Postecoglou (10/1) has just stepped through the door at Nottingham Forest, but given his chairman's unpredictable nature, there is no guarantee that he will have a long reign at the City Ground.
Other names in the sack race include Unai Emery (14/1) at Aston Villa, Brighton’s Fabian Hurzeler (25/1) and Burnley's Scott Parker (16/1).
