We’ve picked out the biggest price swings from the Premier League weekend as Frank Lampard faces the sack and Cristiano Ronaldo burns bridges with Manchester United.
Frank Lampard (Next Manager to Leave) 4/1 > 4/9
Everton boss Frank Lampard has come in from 10/1 this time last week to a best price 8/15 (4/9 worst) in the next manager to leave odds market.
The former Derby and Chelsea boss was still available for 4/1 in the same market before the weekend, before drawing another blank in defeat to Premier League relegation rivals Bournemouth.
Sam McGuire certainly saw this coming. Writing last week, he highlighted how the underlying numbers were not sustainable from a defensive point of view. Going into the latest round of games, only Fulham, Nottingham Forest and the Cherries had a higher Expected Goals Against (xGA) total.

Chelsea (Top 4 Finish) 6/4 > 4/1
Last Monday, we spoke about how Graham Potter's Chelsea were drifting in the Top 4 finish market after consecutive defeats to Brighton and Arsenal.
Unfortunately for Potter, the Blues failed to stop the rot at in-form St James' Park, meaning they are now available for as long as 4/1 to finish in the Champions League places.
Miguel Almiron (PFA Player of the Year) 100/1 > 50/1
He couldn't, could he? October's Player of the Month Miguel Almiron failed to score in his side's 1-0 win over Chelsea, but registered an assist in another impressive performance for the Magpies.
The 28-year-old Paraguayan, a 100/1 shot to win the PFA Player of the Year award before the weekend, is now a best price 66/1 (50/1 with several bookmakers).
Cristiano Ronaldo (Next Club Chelsea) 7/2 > 2/1
Cristiano Ronaldo has shortened into 2/1 to join struggling Chelsea in his club after January market after criticising Manchester United in a wide ranging interview for TalkTV.
He told Piers Morgan that he feels "betrayed" by the club, adding that he had not heard of last year's interim boss Ralf Rangnick and does not respect new manager Erik ten Hag.
