Under-pressure Pardew odds-on for the chop
ALAN PARDEW faces former club Southampton on Saturday with his Crystal Palace future hanging by a thread.
That’s the view of bookmakers who rate Pardew the 4-6 odds-on favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job and Betway have already opened a market on who will be the next Palace boss.
Sam Allardyce is 4-6 to replace Pardew when the time comes to make a change, while Chris Coleman comes next on the list at 3-1 from Roberto Mancini, who is rated a 4-1 shot.
West Ham’s Slaven Bilic can be backed at 12-1 to be the next top-flight boss out and his Hammers side face a difficult derby against Arsenal at the London Stadium.
Arsenal have become something of road specialists in the Premier League – they are unbeaten away since February – and bet365 are offering 33-1 that the Gunners avoid defeat on their travels this season.
Jamie Vardy has failed to score in his last nine Premier League appearances and Hills go 6-1 that he fails to net in his next five top-flight outings.
