Premier League next manager sacked – latest odds
Alvaro Arbeloa (7/2) leads the way after yet another defeat as Fulham boss.
After losing narrowly to Chelsea and Sunderland in their opening two games, Fulham twice took the lead at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday before going on to lose the game 3-2.
Only they and Coventry City remain pointless after three games.
Roberto De Zerbi (5/1) is lucky Arbeloa’s had the start he’s had or he’d definitely be favourite in this market.
Spurs did at least pick a point up on Saturday, benefitting from a VAR intervention to rule out a Nottingham Forest winner but it’s one point and zero goals from their three games.
Unai Emery and Oliver Glasner (both 15/2) come next, with Villa also one point and three goalless games so far this season after a 0-0 draw at Hull over the weeekend.
While the volatility that surrounds the Nottingham Forest job won’t help Glasner’s case as they remain winless through three games.
Michael Carrick (17/2) was the frontrunner until the last couple of weeks and insists United’s start to the season hasn’t been ‘that bad’.
The despite the defeat to Hull on the opening day and conceding twice to Ipswich in the 5-2 win the following week.
They were moments away from a win at Everton on Sunday before an injury time stunner, so it’s now just five points from their first three games – with the kind start to the season in terms of their fixtures not paying dividends.
