According to the bookies, the Sunderland boss’s job is most at risk, ahead of his Middlesbrough, West Brom and West Ham counterparts.
Sunderland boss Moyes
Sunderland boss David Moyes is the new favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job, following the Mackems’ defeat at fellow strugglers Stoke City.
West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic was previously deemed most at risk by bookmakers Sky Bet, but Saturday’s win at Crystal Palace has seen the Croat slip to fourth on the list – behind Moyes, Aitor Karanka (Middlesbrough) and Tony Pulis (West Bromwich Albion).
West Ham boss Bilic
With odds of 1/1, however, Moyes currently leads the way by some distance, with little separating Karanka (5/1), Pulis (13/2) and Bilic (7/1).
The Scot only arrived at Sunderland in July, and has been unable to alter the Black Cats’ reputation as perennial slow starters, with Saturday’s defeat leaving them four points adrift at the bottom of the table.
In contrast, West Ham’s win, which was only their second of the season league-wise, saw them climb three places to 15th and consigned Middlesbrough to spot in the bottom three, a place above Swansea City, who have already changed managers this campaign.
Middlesbrough boss Karanka
Although West Brom are currently clear of danger in 12th, Pulis continues to feature highly on the bookies’ list as a result of last month’s takeover at the Hawthorns.
Interestingly, West Ham’s next league fixture is at home to Sunderland on Saturday, with pressure certain to mount on the losing side’s manager.
