17. Brendan Rodgers (10/1)
Defeat to Liverpool came just days after Leicester City were humbled 3-0 against Newcastle on Boxing Day as pressure continues to mount on Rodgers. Although they had bounced back after a poor start to the season, the Foxes will want to get back to winning ways as soon as possible. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
18. Frank Lampard (3/1)
Everton survived the drop by the barest of margins last season and have been sucked into yet another relegation battle this term. Boos rang around Goodison Park after their defeat to Wolves on Boxing Day, but a draw against Manchester City was a welcome way to end 2022. Photo: Luke Walker
19. Antonio Conte (11/4)
Throughout his time at Spurs, Conte has been heavily linked with leaving his post, despite turning Spurs into one of the in-form teams of the calendar year. The Italian is a serial winner and will want to add silverware to his collection soon however. Photo: Eddie Keogh
20. David Moyes (5/4)
West Ham have been very consistent in the last couple of years under Moyes, but a big spend this summer coupled with a poor start to the season, has led to growing dissatisfaction within the fan base. Photo: GLYN KIRK
