Could Middlesbrough boss make surprise exit?
Odds have been slashed on Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka being the next Premier League manager to lose his job.
SkyBet have Karanka at just 1/4 on to depart the club, with Sunderland’s David Moyes the next closest at 4/1, followed by Watford’s Walter Mazzarri, 5/1.
Karanka walked out of Middlesbrough a year ago before making a surprise U-turn and leading the side to win promotion to the Premier League.

He has been active in the transfer market this month, bringing in Patrick Bamford from Chelsea for a big fee.
Former Sky presenter Richard Keys fuelled the rumours by suggesting Karanka could be on his way.
Middlesbrough lost at the weekend 3-1 at home to West Ham, and sit in 16th place in the Premier League, only four points above the relegation zone.
The club have won just four games since returning to the top flight, and have scored only 18 goals from 22 matches.
