5) Mauricio Pochettino (Chelsea) – 20/1

It was thought that the Blues had turned the corner after a poor start to the campaign under their new manager.

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.
