OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER is the second-favourite to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.

Only Everton boss Marco Silva is more likely to lose his job first, according to Ladbrokes.

The bookmakers have Silva at 6-4 to win the unwanted Sack Race after a mixed start to the season.

His Toffees side have lost three of their last five matches, going down 2-0 at Aston Villa, 3-1 at Bournemouth and then most worryingly of all, 2-0 at home to Sheffield United on Saturday.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "It's hard to see how Marco Silva turns things around at Goodison Park and with pressure mounting, we think he'll be the next Prem boss out of a job."

But next on the list is 6-1 bet Solskjaer after United's dismal display at West Ham.

The Norwegian has failed to mastermind a Premier League away win since February.

His Red Devils looked out of ideas, creativity and any sort of quality at the London Stadium and barely created a clear-cut chance.

They sit eighth after six games, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in the Premier League so far.

Solskjaer admitted things did not quite go according to plan at West Ham.

THE CONTENDERS

He said: "It's always a difficult ground to go to we should do better than we did. We hope for better.

"The key moments, they grasped and we didn't. It was two fantastic finishes from left feet. We just didn't take our chances when we had them.

"We didn't create enough chances, we created big moments we didn't take. It's a game that could have gone both ways.

"A few in the first half we turned down a key pass. The two chances we had in the second half if we could have again I'm sure we will score more than we miss."

Nuno Espirito Santo is the third-favourite to be given the boot next in the Premier League at 8-1.

The Wolves boss led his side to promotion in his first season at Molineux and then into seventh in their first year back in the top flight.

But the distraction of the Europa League already looks to be taking its toll on the Black Country side.

They have managed four draws and two defeats so far this term, grabbing a last-ditch equaliser at Crystal Palace yesterday.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is at 10-1 ahead of Newcastle's Steve Bruce at 12-1.

Meanwhile, Dean Smith of Aston Villa, Southampton chief Ralph Hassenhuttl and new Watford manager Quique Sanches Flores – after just two games in charge, albeit one being the 8-0 hammering at Manchester City – are all 14-1 to be the next manager to go.

Crystal Palace's Roy Hodgson and Graham Potter of Brighton find themselves at 16-1 with the bar at 20-1.
