Next Premier League manager sacked: Graham Potter ODDS-ON favourite for Chelsea sack, Moyes, O'Neil and Cooper behind

CHELSEA manager Graham Potter is odds-on favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his position.

That's according to Ladbrokes, who've SLASHED their prices on his departure from 11/10 to 1/3 after last week's defeat at Tottenham.

Goals from Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane were enough to brush aside an underwhelming Chelsea, who mustered just two efforts on target.

The Blues have now won just two of their last 15 league matches and sit 14 points off the Champions League places.

Goals continue to be a huge issue for the London outfit, who invested heavily in attacking talent in January.

Chelsea have now gone three games without scoring, and have managed just three in their last ten in all competitions.

Potter - who only took over in September - has won nine of his 26 matches in charge and looks in an increasingly precarious position.

After the loss, Potter said: "If results aren't good enough, which they aren't at the moment, you can't rely on support forever that is for sure.

"I take full responsibility for those results and it isn't good enough for Chelsea.

"We want to improve it, absolutely. My job is to keep going, to keep working with the team to try and change the moment."

Chelsea host Leeds next, and then will attempt to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund.

Failure to progress in the Champions League could well be the final straw for Potter.

However, TalkSPORT claim that Potter retains the backing of the Chelsea board with owner Todd Boehly is determined to keep faith with the Englishman.

West Ham boss David Moyes is offered at 11/2 after Saturday's resounding victory over Nottingham Forest.

Gary O'Neil and Steve Cooper follow next at 8/1 and 12/1 respectively, ahead of Brendan Rodgers (14/1) and Southampton's Ruben Selles (16/1).
