Coral bookmakers have slashed their odds on West Ham’s Sam Allardyce being the first Premier League manager to leave his job this season.

Following speculation that ex-Saints boss Harry Redknapp is being lined up as his replacement, Coral bookmakers now have Allardyce a 2/1 favourite to be the first top flight boss to lose his job.

Allardyce guided the Hammers to Championship promotion via the play-offs last season.

This season they started with a 1-0 home win over Aston Villa but were beaten 3-0 at Swansea last weekend.

Redknapp played for West Ham in the 1970s and managed the club from 1994-2001.
