Sack Race Betting Odds: Roy Hodgson now ODDS-ON at 2/5 to leave Crystal Palace after Arsenal thumping at the weekend!

Roy Hodgson has moved into 2/5 to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked

Roy Hodgson is now the heavy favourite with bookmakers to be the next Premier League manager to leave after his Crystal Palace side were thumped 5-0 off Arsenal on Saturday.

Crystal Palace put in a dismal performance against Arsenal in the Saturday lunchtime game with the 5-0 defeat instantly seeing calls for Hodgson to be sacked by Palace fans.

The away end at the Emirates during that game saw massive banners held up by Palace fans saying, "Wasted potential on and off the pitch. Weak decisions taking us backwards".

BetVictor instantly shortened Hodgson's odds to be sacked next from the 2/1 that he was last week to odds-on now at 2/5 putting him clear in the dreaded Sack Race.

Those odds suggest there's a 71% chance that Hodgson is the next manager to leave the Premier League with Erik ten Hag and Eddie Howe second and third in the market respectively.

Man United boss Erik ten Hag sits at second favourite in the betting odds

Erik ten Hag remains as the second favourite in the betting market to leave his role next in the Premier League with the Jim Ratcliffe era starting to get underway.

Manchester United's first step in this new era was to appoint Omar Berrada as their CEO after he resigned as CFO from rivals Manchester City's City Football Group.

These moves and chops and changes could signal that a managerial change could also be on the cards with bookies putting ten Hag as the 5/1 second favourite to be sacked next.

If any managerial changes were to happen at Old Trafford though you would expect that the club and board would wait until the summer.

Sheffield United remain the heavy favourites to be relegated this season

Following the weekend's Premier League fixtures, Sheffield United remain the clear favourites in the betting market to be relegated this season.

The Blades put in a spirited fight back to grab a 2-2 draw against West Ham on Sunday but that doesn't change much in the table as they still sit bottom on 10 points.

This puts them 7 points off 17th placed Everton and Chris Wilder will be worrying that they're all but down already with bookies putting them at 1/20 to be relegated.
