Rodgers backed to be first manager sacked
BRENDAN RODGERS has been backed to be the first Premier League boss out this season after Liverpool were handed a tough opening set of away fixtures.
The Reds travel to Stoke, Arsenal, Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City in an awkward first seven games on the road and under-pressure Rodgers is 3-1 with Ladbrokes to get the boot.
They go 12-5 that United, who start at home to Tottenham, win their first three games and 10-1 that league favourites across the four divisions - Chelsea, Derby, Sheffield United and Portsmouth - all start with victories.
They're also betting on the first game to be shown on Match of the Day and Bournemouth v Aston Villa is 3-1 favourite.
It's 4-1 with BoyleSports that last term's top four Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and United are all triumphant.
Bet365 and Betfred go 40-1 that promoted trio Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich all win.
Chelsea are 3-10 to win the opening match - they're at home to Swansea - and bet365 offer 6-1 that the Blues go through the entire league campaign without losing at Stamford Bridge.
