17. David Moyes (5/2)
West Ham’s win over Southampton moved them out of the relegation zone and up to 14th place on Sunday, one point above 18th placed Everton. They have had a good run in Europe, however, their domestic form has suffered as a result and Moyes is facing the pressure. Photo: GLYN KIRK
18. Steve Cooper (11/10)
Cooper has done a great job at Nottingham Forest and has guided his newly-promoted side away from the relegation zone, although it remains very congested at the foot of the table. He’s loved by the fans, although at Forest, a managerial change never seems too far away. Photo: Catherine Ivill
