Bradley, Bilic bosses under threat according to PL sack race betting

Defending is no longer Swansea’s strong suit since former skipper Ashley Williams was sold to Everton; so, unless Bradley can improve on one victory in seven matches in charge, chairman Huw Jenkins has a difficult decision on his hands.

Slaven Bilic odds slashed

West Ham United are similarly struggling, albeit under the same boss as last term. The big change for Bilic’s boys is their environment on matchdays.

This summer saw the Hammers switch from Upton Park to the Olympic Stadium, now pedantically referred to as the London Stadium. What’s in a name? Well, to borrow from Shakespeare, the rose doesn’t smell to sweet for West Ham fans, who find their side just above the bottom three.

Bilic odds to go have been slashed from 7/2 into 2/1 after his side shipped nine goals in their last two across all competitions. Playing three at the back simply isn’t work for the Hammers and their manager may need to abandon the system in order to keep his job.

While Bilic is understood to retain the support of influential West Ham board figures David Gold, David Sullivan and Karen Brady, the club’s plight isn’t helped by problems up front.

Diafra Sakho is struggling to get fit, while Hammers loan signings Simone Zaza and Jonathan Calleri aren’t performing, leaving a heavy burden falling on injury-prone target man Andy Carroll.

Has Alan Pardew bought time?

Crystal Palace boss Pardew was definitely among next Premier League manager to leave tips throughout this autumn, yet seems to have bought more time with an emphatic 3-0 home win over former club Southampton.

That brought a six-game losing streak to an end for the Eagles, with Pardew eased out to 3/1 to go next. A first Premier League clean sheet of the season at Selhurst Park is a welcome tonic.

Christian Benteke is back among the goals with three in two for Palace following that big money summer switch from Liverpool. That needs to continue with Eagles loan signing Loic Remy lacking fitness and Connor Wickham set to miss the rest of this season with a serious knee injury.

It’s not all that surprising to find 2016 FA Cup finalists Palace struggling at the back, though, as they’ve only managed three league clean sheets in 2016.

The reported £10m signing of James Tomkins from West Ham should’ve strengthened this area, with him operating alongside seasoned defenders Damien Delaney and Scott Dann.

Got a bad (Mike) Phelan about Tigers troubles?

Hull City’s sensational start to the season was always going to be hard to maintain. Winning back-to-back Premier League games in August, they’ve picked up just five points since.

The Tigers’ future remains very uncertain both on and off the field, but the current owners still gave caretaker Mike Phelan a permanent contract as manager eventually.

Among next Premier League manager to leave tips at 7/1, Phelan may only be saved by the fact Hull haven’t found new investment. Few coaches are likely to want the gig until this is resolved.

Meanwhile, the Tigers’ presence in the EFL Cup semi-finals will also help Phelan’s cause. It’s no clean sheet in 16 games across all competitions, so as defender Curtis Davies recently said, they need help.

Bar those four bosses, Walter Mazzarri (Watford) is next in the betting at 14/1, with Northeast duo David Moyes (Sunderland) and Aitor Karanka (Middlesbrough) equal 16/1 shots.
