Premier League sack race: Spurs' Nuno Espirito Santo is STILL the bookies' favourite

Watford's Xisco Munoz was the first casualty of the 2021-22 season as he became the first Premier League manager to lose his job after just seven matches.

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo found himself at the top of the top-flight sack market last Monday but he guided Spurs to a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at the weekend to ease some of the pressure.

Nevertheless the Portuguese is still the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Premier League manager to be dismissed at odds of 3/1 with Betfair.
