Premier League sack race includes Wolves, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace managers

From the most secure bosses to the least, here are the 13 Premier League head coaches likeliest to leave their teams next.

Paul Heckingbottom became the first Premier League manager to leave since Julen Lopetegui back in August as Sheffield United changed up their dugout selection this week. Chris Wilder has returned to Bramall Lane in Heckingbottom's place with the Blades looking to make a miraculous recovery in a bid to survive relegation.

Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper has been another under fire as his side were thrashed 5-0 by Fulham on Wednesday. The former Swansea City boss has survived – for now – but could be shown the exit door if Forest lose to Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend.

Cooper isn't the only one on thin ice, too, as the likes of Crystal Palace, Manchester United, Burnley and Chelsea are falling below expectations. But who are the likeliest to leave their posts next? Here's a full run-through.
