With each top tier side having just a handful of league matches left to go, it will be intriguing to see whether any clubs look to take a gamble on a new coach before the end. Here's a look at where Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce ranks SkyBet's updated Premier League sack race table:
5. Aston Villa - Dean Smith - Current sacking odds: 80/1
His side were at one point in the title race, but a series of injuries - most notably to star man Jack Grealish - has seen Villa slip off the pace. They'll still be happy with their efforts this season, setting them up nicely for the 2021/22 campaign. Photo: Pool
6. Manchester United - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - Current sacking odds: 66/1
The title race may be all but done and dusted, but the Red Devils will be more than happy with a top four finish, having suffered the indignity of Thursday night football this season. Job well done, OGS. Photo: ANDY RAIN
7. Everton - Carlo Ancelotti - Current sacking odds: 66/1
Everton sacking three-time the Champions League winner would be an eyebrow raising decision, to put it mildly. The Toffees have fallen out of the title race, but they could yet make a late surge back up to the top four. Photo: PHIL NOBLE
8. Leeds United - Marcelo Bielsa - Current sacking odds: 50/1
Long, long odds, for pretty obvious reasons. Leeds United are well on their way to a lower-mid-table finish, after a storming return to Premier League football this season. Bielsa's influence has been imperative to this achievement. Photo: MIKE EGERTON
