Bookmakers have made Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa the favourite to become the next Premier League manager to be sacked.

The Argentine has overseen a difficult run for the Whites, who have picked up just one point from the last 15 available.

They have lost to Everton and Newcastle United in that time - two sides around them in the Premier League table - while drawing at Aston Villa and also suffering defeats against Manchester United and Liverpool.

Leeds remain outside the relegation zone by three points with a number of injuries to key men and the worst defensive record in the top flight contributing to their struggles this term.

Following recent results, bookmakers have made Bielsa the favourite to be the next top-flight manager to leave, with some sites making him odds-on to depart Elland Road.

Antonio Conte - whose Tottenham Hotspur side visit West Yorkshire on Saturday - is second in the betting while Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is a further place behind the Italian.

Leeds were convincingly beaten 6-0 by Liverpool on Wednesday night and asked whether the owners had expressed concerns about the club’s slide towards the bottom three, Bielsa said: “Not specifically but when a team is going through what we are going through it is only going to awaken doubts.

“And I know the consequence of the succession of results of the team I manage.”
