Ole back on top of Premier League Sack Race

The Premier League Sack Race started the new year with a new face but it has soon taken on a more familiar look Manchester United’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer backed into favourite once again. Manuel Pellegrini was the last manager to fall in the Sack Race as he was dismissed late in December by West Ham. Following Pellegrini’s sacking, it was a couple of new names who headed the race with Aston Villa’s Dean Smith and Eddie Howe of Bournemouth both being favourites at some point.

But now Solskjaer is favourite again, and this is the fourth time he has been the favourite since the market opened in July – although at 6/4 it is the shortest price he has been – ahead of Howe and Smith. OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton commented: “Man United have again showed some less than impressive form and it is perhaps no surprise to see the public backing Solskjaer to be next man out. “Eddie Howe looks to be under pressure too, and he has been seeing interest too.” Premier League Sack Race Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 6/4 Eddie Howe – 10/3 Dean Smith – 3/1 Daniel Farke – 6/1 Ralph Hasenhuttl – 12/1 Sean Dyche – 14/1 Steve Bruce – 25/1 Steve Bruce – 50/1 Roy Hodgson – 50/1 Chris Wilder – 50/1 Graham Potter – 50/1 David Moyes – 50/1 Nigel Pearson – 50/1 Brendan Rodgers – 66/1 Carlo Ancelotti – 66/1 Mikel Arteta – 66/1 Frank Lampard – 100/1 Jose Mourinho – 100/1 Pep Guardiola – 100/1 Jurgen Klopp – 200/1 Odds correct at time of writing Please note that we can tailor this release to your needs or produce bespoke content for free on any subject, please get in touch to see if we can help.
