Leicester City’s slide towards the relegation zone, caused by a last minute defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday and Chelsea’s slump in mid-table meant Rodgers and Potter were axed by their employers.
There have been 12 managerial changes in the top-flight this season and there could yet be a couple more before the season comes to a close.
With less than a third of the season to go, managers up and down the division could still be sweating over their future with results becoming more and more crucial as the games tick by.
Here, according to Sky Bet, we take a look at which Premier League managers could be next to leave their current post.

13. Ruben Selles (14/1)
Southampton have put their faith in Selles as they look to avoid the drop and a return to the Championship. Wins over Chelsea and Leicester City and a late draw against Spurs in recent times have helped their cause, but defeat to West Ham kept them rooted to the bottom of the table. Photo: Julian Finney
14. Roberto De Zerbi (14/1)
De Zerbi took over from Graham Potter at the Amex Stadium and has continued his fine work with the Seagulls having a genuine shot of qualifying for European football this season. De Zerbi has been linked with a couple of jobs away from the south coast in recent times and the Seagulls may face a battle to keep hold of him. Photo: Mike Hewitt
15. Julen Lopetegui (14/1)
Wolves have shown signs of improvement under Lopetegui but remain in the group of nine at the bottom of the league fighting for their lives. They sit just two points above the relegation zone and could only manage a point against fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Photo: Catherine Ivill
16. Thomas Frank (10/1)
Brentford could qualify for Europe this season, such is the stunning work Frank and co have done at the Gtech Brentford Community Stadium. Frank is in no danger of being sacked by the Bees, but his efforts with the club mean he could be in-line for a high-profile job or two in the near future. Photo: Justin Setterfield
