5) Mauricio Pochettino (Chelsea) – 20/1
Consecutive wins against Brighton (in the Carabao Cup), Fulham and Burnley, as well as a creditable draw versus Arsenal, had led to some optimism that things were moving in the direction under Pochettino.
However, the 2-0 defeat to Brentford at the weekend has prompted more recriminations, with the club falling to 11th in the Premier League table.
3 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from the opening 10 fixtures was not what anyone was expecting at the beginning of the season.
