Premier League sack race: Nuno tipped to be axed as Solskjaer's odds slashed

Sacking managers has become a key part of life in the professional game as clubs lean towards a 'grass is greener' approach to on-field matters.

Of course some clubs benefit from making early managerial changes, however there's always a club who suffer the consequences of a quick-fix-gone-wrong.

As expected, some Premier League bosses are already looking nervously over their shoulder.

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo is under major pressure and is now the most likely boss to be shown the door first.

Santo was a staggering 25/1 prior to the North London derby and now he is among the favourites to go after three straight losses including being hammered by Arsenal.

The Spurs boss will have to pick things back up after their loss to their rivals as they now sit below the Gunners in the table.

Newcastle have also endured a difficult start to the new season and with fans less than impressed with Steve Bruce, the pressure is building on Tyneside.

Manchester United are another club enduring a difficult time at the moment.

After being knocked out of the League Cup by West Ham last week, the Red Devils suffered defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday to heap further pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The bookies have now cut Solskjaer into just 5/2 to be out of a job by Christmas Day - with Cristiano Ronaldo tipped to replace him!

That said, he still isn't the favourite to be sacked next.

Norwich City's Daniel Farke and Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta are also contenders, according to the bookies.

Despite Arsenal's turnaround with three wins on the bounce, the threat of the sack is still there for Arteta.

At the other end of the list are Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, Chelsea's Thomas Tuchel and Manchester City gaffer Pep Guardiola who are near-certainties to keep hold of their prestigious roles.
