With the 2016-17 Premier League season is now on its sixth day after this outgoing weekend, one of the more interesting betting markets to watch is which team’s manager will be the first to leave, either by resignation or by getting fired.

It is bad news for West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic, who is the current favourite to go as his side stand on the third position from the bottom.

The Croatian coach helped his side to finish 7th in the 2015/16 Premier League season, but now is struggling to escape a relegation zone.

But who else considered as candidate to be sacked probably ahead of Christmas day?

5. Francesco Guidolin – Swansea City

Guidolin was named head coach of Swansea City on 18 January 2016, at that point struggling in the 2015–16 Premier League, only two points above the relegation zone, to work alongside interim manager Alan Curtis, who took the post of first team coach.

Since then, the Italian manager’s side played 24 matches, won only 9, drawn 5 and lost 10.

The 60-year-old has won only once in 6 Premier League games this season so far and has now 4 points.

4. Sean Dyche – Burnley FC

Dyche became manager of Burnley in October 2012, succeeding Eddie Howe, who had left the club to rejoin A.F.C. Bournemouth.

The Englishman was named Championship manager of the month for September 2013, and led Burnley to their best start to a season since they were founded in 1882. He also won promotion to the Premier League.

Their spell in the top flight lasted only a single season, as they were relegated with two games to spare, before guiding Burnley to the Premier League for a second time in the 2015–16 season.

However, this season The Clarets are struggling to get their second win since the start of the season, after collecting only 4 points in six Premier League matches.

3. Slaven Bilic – West Ham United

Bilic, who joined the Hammers on 9 June 2015 on a three-year contract, helped his side to finish 7th in the 2015/16 Premier League season qualifying automatically for Europa League football but have been knocked out by Romanian side Astra Giurgiu.

Despite having first successful Premier League season, Bilic is now struggling to escape a relegation zone after getting only one win in 6 games and has now only 3 points.
