Premier League next manager sacked odds: Vieira & Xisco favourites to be axed first in 2021-22 season, Bruce in behind
THE NEW managers to the English top flight are already leading the Premier League sack race.
Bookmakers Betfair have Crystal Palaces’ Patrick Vieira and Watford’s Xisco Munoz as joint favourites to the first managers to go.

Steve Bruce is third favourite to be the first casualty after he managed to keep Newcastle in the Premier League despite a difficult season.
Vieira will be looking to avoid any comparisons to Frank de Boer, who was sacked after only four Premier League games.
Spaniard Xisco, 40, led Watford back to the top-flight after his arrival in December.
But the Hornets are notoriously tigger-happy having gone through SEVEN permanent managers since Quique Sanchez Flores was axed in May 2016.
Newcastle’s Steve Bruce is in behind at 15/2.
The Toon boss was favourite for the chop for long periods last season.
But he turned things around by collecting five wins in their final eight matches of the season.
Southampton’s Ralph Hasenhuttl is next in the market at 10/1 ahead of Wolves’ new boss Bruno Lage at 11/1.
Graham Potter is offered at 12/1 while the two new bosses Nuno and Benitez are locked together at 14s.
Pep Guardiola’s position is considered the safest in the league at a triple-figure 100/1 with Betfair.
