Five Premier League managers ODDS-ON to be sacked before end of season with Pep Guardiola safest in job
SLAVEN BILIC is the most likely man to face the sack in the Premier League before the end of the season, according to the bookies.
The West Ham boss is 1/6 to leave his post between now and the final day of the campaign, while Ronald Koeman is at 1/5.
The Dutchman's under-performing Toffees are struggling down in 16th, having spent around £150million in the summer.
Bilic's Hammers aren't faring much better either, sitting in 15th - as both have picked up just seven points from seven games.
Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare, Crystal Palace's Roy Hodgson and Bournemouth's Eddie Howe are all also odds-on to face the swinging axe.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "The latest odds suggest at least five bosses will be looking for new jobs next summer.
"Bilic and Koeman already walking a fine line."
Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger is just 9/4 to turn from Gunner to goner although at 13/8, Antonio Conte is the most likely of the big six managers to face the chop.
The bookies make Pep Guardiola the safest man in the Premier League right now, with 1/33 on offer for him to still be in charge at the Etihad on the last day of the season.
Ladbrokes' Apati added: "As for Guardiola, it looks as though time is very much on his side."
