Everton manager Sean Dyche is the new bookmakers’ favorite to become the first managerial casualty of the 2024-25 Premier League season.
Football Insider revealed (September 17) that Dyche, 53, is set to be sacked by Everton if they lose their next league games against Leicester City and Crystal Palace.
William Hill now have Dyche at 15/8 to be sacked, just ahead of Man United manager Erik ten Hag at 5/1 and Southampton boss Russell Martin at 11/2.
Newly appointed Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is not far behind at 8/1 with Steve Cooper, the man he replaced at Leicester, at 9/1.
Wolves boss Gary O’Neil rounds off the top six with odds of 12/1 to become the first Premier League manager to be sacked.
The Merseyside club are bottom of the Premier League table, the first time in 66 years that they have lost their opening four games.
Dyche’s side remarkably lost their last two games against Bournemouth and Aston Villa 3-2 after leading by two goals in both games.
Everton manager Sean Dyche is the favorite in the competition
Dyche’s sides are usually notorious for being solid at the back, which is the exact reason why he was able to save them from last season’s relegation.
This season, however, they have scored 13 goals in their first four games, the worst in the Premier League, while Wolves have conceded two less.
Not only are they conceding goals, they remain winless on the road this calendar year, an undesirable record ahead of their clash with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this weekend.
The manager now has two games to save his skin, but first he has to face Southampton in the League Cup on Tuesday (September 17).
