Liverpool manager Arne Slot has emerged as the new favourite to become the next Premier League boss to be sacked as pressure intensifies at Anfield.
Slot is now priced at 4/6 with most bookmakers (evens at betvictor) to make a transfer away from Liverpool following a dramatic downturn in form that has seen the champions win only two of their last ten league matches.
The shift in betting comes just months after Slot guided Liverpool to their record equalling 20th league title. However, a turbulent run of results, combined with Mohamed Salah’s recent public criticism of the club’s direction, has placed the Dutchman under severe scrutiny.
Fans are even calling for the return of Jurgen Klopp to Liverpool.
Liverpool’s week was further damaged by a chaotic 3-3 draw at Elland Road, where they surrendered a 3-2 lead in injury time against Leeds United.
That was followed by another frustrating result in midweek as the Reds were held by Sunderland at Anfield, marking the second straight match in which they dropped points. The champions have already suffered six league defeats this season, including two at home, a worrying statistic for a side known for its once formidable Anfield fortress.
| Manager | Odds |
|---|---|
| Arne Slot | 4/6 |
| Daniel Farke | 7/2 |
| Scott Parker | 4/1 |
| Thomas Frank | 12/1 |
| Ruben Amorim | 16/1 |
| Marco Silva | 16/1 |
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke had previously been the frontrunner in the sack race, but recent results have eased the pressure on the German. After picking up four points from matches against Chelsea and Liverpool, Leeds climbed out of the relegation zone and now sit two points clear of the drop.
Farke took charge at Elland Road in 2023 following their relegation and secured promotion back to the Premier League last season in dominant fashion, amassing 100 points after falling short in the play-off final a year earlier.
His position had come under threat after losing six of seven matches earlier this term, but Wednesday’s win over Chelsea has provided some much needed breathing room.
Burnley manager Scott Parker is the third favourite at 4/1 after his newly promoted side slipped to a sixth consecutive defeat at St James’ Park on Saturday. Burnley’s struggles have left them deep in relegation trouble, increasing scrutiny over Parker’s future.
With several clubs in poor form and managerial pressure rising across the league, the coming weeks could prove decisive in determining who survives the Premier League’s unforgiving winter period.
