He has now come in from a hefty 20-1 overnight into just 9-1 after a flurry of bets and activity by top bookies Paddy Power.

Spokesman Lee Price said: "Arsene’s slashed the wage bill – and we’ve slashed the price on him losing his job.

"By our odds, the chances of him being the next Premier League boss to go has more than doubled since Deadline Day.

"It is approximately the same rise as Arsenal’s savings."

After a disastrous start, Wenger is to hold showdown talks with the FA Cup champions with their season already in jeopardy.

It comes after news that Arsenal fans are to plan a stunning protest when they come up against London rivals Chelsea later this month.

A thrilling opening day win against Leicester City left a feel-good feeling around the Emirates, but that has quickly been diminished.

Arsenal beaten by Stoke City a week later - with Arsenal missing an abundance of chances as they couldn't match the spirited performance of the Potters.

Then they were on the end of a 4-0 mauling by Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side who easily brushed aside the Community Shield winners - exposing them in all areas.

And to make matters worse for fans, Wenger still didn't dip into the transfer market and now risk letting Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil on a free as both near the end of their contract.

They welcome Bournemouth to North London on Saturday, and anything but three points will only intensify Wenger's future at the club.
