Is there value elsewhere?

Struggling Celtic manager Neil Lennon is the second favourite to take over at Bramall Lane at the relatively short price of 3/1.

Eddie Howe is the third most likely at 6/1, with Frank Lampard a touch longer at 8/1. Danny Cowley (10/1), Slaven Bilic (14/1) and Steve Bruce (14/1) are the next contenders.

Sheffield United are now 1/100 across the board to be relegated this season, with West Brom (1/33), Newcastle (6/5) and Fulham (2/1) still fighting for survival.

Next Sheffield United manager odds:

• Paul Heckingbottom - 2/1
