Sack race odds: Mikel Arteta now clear favourite to be next Premier League manager to leave
Mikel Arteta has been cut to favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave, following his side’s 1-0 defeat at home to Burnley.
The Arsenal manager was priced at 40/1 in this market just over two weeks ago, but bookmakers have steadily cut those odds into as short as 7/4. At a best price of 21/10, Arteta is now the clear favourite to leave his post next.
Struggling Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is the second favourite at 13/5, while West Brom’s Slaven Bilic is another manager under fire at 3/1. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is as short as 6/1 in places, but a best price of 12/1.
Arteta is the most backed selection in our next manager to leave market. In the last seven days, 39.6% of bets have gone on the 38-year-old. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the next in that list, accruing 25.7% of bets in the same period.
The Gunners slipped to their seventh defeat of the season last night, with Granit Xhaka’s mindless sending off and an Aubameyang own goal epitomising their recent performances. Arsenal now have just one win in their last eight Premier League matches and find themselves 15th in the table.
Premier League relegation odds: Arsenal cut from 500/1 into as short as 25/1 since season opener
While it might have seemed unthinkable not long ago, plenty are speculating over whether Arsenal could find themselves in a relegation battle.
The 13-time league title winners have now been cut to as short as 25/1 to be relegated, and a best price of 66/1. If you’d looked at that market after their opening day win against Fulham, you’d have found quotes of 500/1.
The Gunners are also the most backed side in our relegation market, by some distance. They’ve accrued 53.8% of bets in the last seven days, with Sheffield United the second most backed on 15.4%.

Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “Many Arsenal fans were excited by Mikel Arteta’s project at the club, but after a promising start, the experiment has unravelled.
“It’s baffling to see a squad with such quality mired in a dogfight at the bottom of the league, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see a change of manager to try and turn this season around.”
Next Premier League manager to leave odds:
- Mikel Arteta 21/10
- Chris Wilder 13/5
- Slaven Bilic 3/1
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 12/1
- Scott Parker 16/1
