7. Unai Emery (66/1)
Aston Villa aren’t in any relegation danger and have earned themselves an outside shot to compete for European places. Their win over Chelsea at the weekend was deserved as they showed their quality at Stamford Bridge. Photo: JUSTIN TALLIS
8. Marco Silva (25/1)
Fulham have enjoyed a stunning return to the Premier League and currently sit in 10th place in the league. Silva’s work at Craven Cottage won’t have gone unnoticed and there may be a couple of clubs sniffing around him in the not too distant future. Photo: ADRIAN DENNIS
