To Leave Their Club Before the Last Game of the EPL Season

Daniel Farke is the first manager on this with the Canaries currently sitting at the bottom of the league table and unlikely to get out of the relegation zone unless there is a quick turn in results.

Norwich are currently four points off Southampton, but, are only two points behind Newcastle, who have just been bought out by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, meaning that survival in the Premier League has just become a lot harder for the Canaries to attain, which could effectively mean that Farke will lose his job having only managed 21 points last time his side were in the top-flight.

Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo is under a lot of pressure at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having lost three out of his last four games to the likes of Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal, conceding three goals in each of these games prior to their narrow 2-1 victory over Aston Villa.

Spurs will be expecting to compete for a top-four place if they are to keep hold of star players such as Harry Kane and to re-build their squad like they did under Mauricio Pochettino did, where the current PSG took them from a Europa League battling club to Champions League finalists in 2019.

Southampton manager Ralph Hassenhuttl will know that his side’s results must improve, as they are currently 17th in the table and with the likes of Newcastle set to spend £190m in January according to The Telegraph, the Saints will know that their position in the top-flight will look precarious if they don’t build a gap to the relegation zone before January.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer comes into his side’s next run of fixtures under huge pressure to achieve good results, following a poor start to the Red Devil’s Champions League group against Young Boys, before beating Villarreal, leaving their fate in the balance with crucial matches against Atalanta and the La Liga outfit coming up.

The Old Trafford club’s Premier League position is also under question, having had a fairly easy start, but, draws against Southampton and Everton, as well as a shock 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa see the Red Devils two points off top of the table Chelsea after seven games. With fixtures against Leicester City, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Watford, Chelsea and Arsenal, United must come out of these in good stead, or ultimately, Solskjaer may lose his job.

Watford manager Claudio Ranieri will know that he will have to perform instantly with the Hornets, as the Vicarage Road club are known for being very rash when it comes to sacking managers.

The former Chelsea and Leicester City boss is the seventh different person to manage the club since the start of the 2019/20 campaign following the sacking of Xisco Munoz, as the Spaniard was sacked after just seven games this season, earning seven points which is a respectable tally considering the fact that they are a newly-promoted club having finished second in the Championship last season.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will know that results will have to improve if he is to keep his job at the Emirates Stadium, as the Gunners will realistically be expecting to finish in and around the top six, as part of the Spaniard’s project to rebuild the club on the pitch.

The Gunners had a poor start to the season, as they were comfortably beaten by the likes of Brentford, Chelsea and Manchester City, before earning narrow victories over Norwich City, Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur and drawing away at high-flying Brighton, but, the former Everton midfielder will know that his side will have to climb much higher up the table than 11th position.

Sean Dyche’s future at Burnley looks safe for now, having recently signed a new long-term contract with the Clarets, but, he will know that having established the Turf Moor club as a stable Premier League club, as well as the recent financial backing from Burnley’s new owners, that he will be expected to keep the club in the league, or potentially face the consequences, despite giving the Clarets a steady platform to build on.

Patrick Vieira will know that his job will firmly depend on Crystal Palace’s Premier League status having gone through a squad overhaul in the summer, which has seen a new-look side take the field at Selhurst Park this season.

The Eagles are currently on seven points after seven games, but, they have only won one match which came in a 3-0 hammering of Tottenham Hotspur, of which the former Arsenal midfielder will know that this is a statistic that will need to improve if he is to keep his job at the club.

The final manager on this list is Wolverhampton Wanderers coach Bruno Lage, who has endured a mixed spell in his opening seven games as manager of the Molineux club, having been unfortunate to lose 1-0 to the likes of Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, before overseeing Wolves win three of their last four, defeating Watford, Southampton and Newcastle United. The Portuguese manager will know that another winless spell in the near future could ultimately cast doubt over his future at the club.
