The first Sack Race odds of the 2018-19 Premier League season have been revealed.

Watford boss Javi Gracia is the clear 4/1 favourite in the betting to be the first manager to leave his post, with Mark Hughes next at 6/1.

Meanwhile, new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is 16/1 to be booted, while 25/1 says Unai Emery is the first managerial casualty of the new campaign.

The safest man in the division is Pep Guardiola, who is way back at 50/1 to be the first manager to leave this season.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Watford could be set for a tough season ahead and the betting suggests it’s Gracia who’ll be the first man sent packing.”
