Sack Race Odds: Michael Carrick Now Favourite After Man Utd’s Spurs Draw

Manchester United’s failure to clinch victory against 10-man Spurs has turned the heat up further on manager Michael Carrick, with William Hill now making the former United and Spurs midfielder the 2/1 favorite to be the next Premier League manager to go.

Carrick was 5/2 before Saturday’s clash, with Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi narrowly ahead of him in the sack race market at 9/4, but they have now traded places with De Zerbi drifting out to 11/4 after Spurs grabbed an injury-time draw at Old Trafford.

Elsewhere, Fulham’s slump to a late defeat at Ipswich has seen Alvaro Arbeloa shorten into 11/4 from 9/2, and the Spaniard is now joint-second favourite to be the next manager to go alongside De Zerbi in what remains a volatile market.

Bet on the First Premier League Manager To Leave:

• Michael Carrick – 2/1
• Roberto De Zerbi – 11/4
• Alvaro Arbeloa – 11/4
• Pierre Sage – 11/2
• BAR – 10/1
