Sky Bet Football betting update: AVB favourite to be next PremierLeague manager to go

Chelsea manager Andre-Villas Boas is 5/6 to be the next top flight boss to lose his job in Sky Bet's Premier League manager betting after seeing his side held to a 1-1 draw in the fifth round of the FA Cup against Birmingham.
Daniel Sturridge's second-half header earned the Blues a replay against their Championship opposition, but the pressure is mounting on AVB after a number of poor results.
The Chelsea fans were singing the name of former manager Jose Mourinho during the game and he is 6/1 to return to the Stamford Bridge helm.
Another struggling London club is Arsenal, who went down 2-0 at Sunderland, with speculation mounting about the future of their boss Arsene Wenger.
The online betting company has Wenger at 6/1 (from 20/1) to be the next Premier League manager to go as well as a special market centred around whether the Frenchman will last the season.
Wenger is 4/11 to be in charge at the Emirates on the last day of the Premier League season and 2/1 not to last until then, but Sky Bet's PR Director believes Arsenal might not be so hasty.
He said: "After over 15 years of service it looks unlikely that the Gunners board would get rid of Wenger at this point of the season, but the same can't be said for Chelsea.
"Roman Abramovich is hardly known for his patience and AVB will need to inspire Chelsea to a much improved showing against Napoli if he is to stay in the Stamford Bridge hotseat in the long run."
