With the Premier League coming towards its final stages, club chairmen will be getting itchy trigger fingers as their teams continue to struggle and even threaten their Champions League or Premier League status.

Here are the eight favourites at the moment, according to Sky Bet…
8) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal, 33-1
Despite a big win over Manchester United in the FA Cup on Monday night the Frenchman still seems under pressure. The fact that it looks like the Gunners won’t be challenging for the Premier League title or progressing from the Champions League last 16 yet again could have something to do with this.
7) Sean Dyche, Burnley, 33-1
It has been widely accepted that the 43-year-old has been doing the best he can with limited resources at the Clarets, and it would be very harsh if he was sacked. However, with the team still in the relegation zone there is always the chance the board will choose to twist in the last 10 games.
6) Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City, 33-1
Way off the pace in the title race and looking likely to go out of the Champions League, the Citizens don’t seem to have improved since last season. Pellegrini may have to answer for this.
5) Chris Ramsey, QPR, 28-1
He’s only just got in through the door, but some people seem to think the 52-year-old could be on the way straight back out. It would be very unfair given he has only been managing them since January.
4) Roberto Martinez, Everton, 9-1
The Toffees have struggled to live up to expectations this season, and despite a good Europa League run the manager has come under pressure. However, given the Catalan signed a five year contract just last summer it is unlikely he will be let go before the end of the season.
3) Nigel Pearson, Leicester City, 6-1
With the Foxes looking the most likely team to be relegated at the moment, it is no surprise that Pearson could be axed. Several major newspapers had reported him as sacked just a month ago, and he seems lucky to still be hanging around.
2) Gus Poyet, Sunderland, 5-1
If the Black Cats don’t go down it will only be because there were three worse teams than them this season. Under the Uruguayan’s tenure they are yet to improve, and despite his great derby record he could be for the chop.
1) Sam Allardyce, West Ham, 11-4
After a great start to the season the East London club have tailed off and haven’t won in seven. Add this to the fans’ underlying reservations over the former Bolton boss and it doesn’t look good for ‘Big Sam’. However, with his contract ending in the summer they may just let it run down and let the 60-year-old go without having to pay him off then.
