It’s followed a dismal Champions League campaign that saw them bow out bottom of their group after losses to Bayern Munich, Copenhagen and Galatasaray and has now meant that Ten Hag is Betfair’s favourite to be sacked next, with his price dropping from 6/5 before the West Ham loss to now 17/20.

It’s a far cry from Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson who is second-favourite at 5/1 and Burnley boss Vincent Kompany who is priced at 11/1 following his side’s struggle to adapt to the Premier League after their Championship-winning campaign last year.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is another manager though who has come under significant pressure from the media as well as supporters after his side’s inconsistent performances since his arrival in the summer. The Argentine has the tough task of dragging the Blues out of their worst Premier League season for 30 years and back into contention for European football but it hasn’t been smooth sailing.

Despite big wins over rivals Tottenham and Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup in midweek, as well as draws against title contenders Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City, it’s teams they would normally run over which have caused them the most problems with losses to Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest and Everton the main points of contention.

It’s meant that the Blues boss is currently priced at 12/1 but his price has fluctuated a lot from result to result. Irons manager David Moyes is priced at 14/1 while both Eddie Howe and new Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo are priced at 16/1.

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is priced at 20/1 just a few weeks after his predecessor Paul Heckingbottom was sacked while Luton Town boss Rob Edwards, who has a history of leaving teams mid-season, is priced at 33/1.
