Paul Heckingbottom is the favorite to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked, according to bookmakers Sky Bet. After Sheffield United's 3-1 defeat to Bournemouth, Heckingbottom's odds of being relieved of his duties are set at Evens.

Sheffield United's Struggles

Sheffield United faced a crucial match against Bournemouth, but things quickly unraveled for Heckingbottom's side. They trailed 2-0 at halftime and ultimately lost 3-1. This defeat leaves the team in 18th position with only five points from their first 13 games of the season.

Despite receiving a 10-point deduction by the Premier League, following Everton's punishment, Sheffield United's odds of being relegated remain at 1/8.

The Blades' upcoming fixtures include a trip to Burnley, followed by matches against Liverpool, Brentford, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.

Uncertain Future for Vincent Kompany

Vincent Kompany, the Burnley manager, is the next favorite to be sacked at odds of 10/3. Kompany's position has become increasingly uncertain after another defeat. Burnley looked set to secure their first home league win of the season, but a late collapse allowed West Ham to snatch victory.

Burnley currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League table, with just four points from a possible 36.

Erik ten Hag, Steve Cooper, and Eddie Howe are also listed as possible candidates for the next manager to be sacked, with odds of 4/1, 4/1, and 9/1 respectively.
