The Premier League is a brutal competition, and managers are expected to get results immediately.

A number of managers have had a difficult start to the season, and a few are already at the top of the betting odds.

Ruben Amorim - 10/11 (Manchester United)

Ruben Amorim had a disastrous start to his Manchester United career last season.

Now with the team winless in the league and suffering a humiliating defeat to Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup, things could get even worse.

The Portuguese manager's odds have been slashed to as low as 10/11 on Oddschecker, making him the favourite to lose his job.

Graham Potter - 7/4 (West Ham United)

Graham Potter is also under immense pressure after his West Ham side suffered successive defeats to start the season.

The West Ham manager's odds are as low as 7/4, with many believing he is out of his depth at the club.

 Nuno Espirito Santo - 5/2 (Nottingham Forest)

Nuno Espirito Santo is also a major contender to be sacked.

The Nottingham Forest manager's odds are as low as 5/2, with reports suggesting he has had a falling out with the club's owner, Evangelos Marinakis.

The Portuguese manager's future is in doubt, despite a decent start to the season.
