Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is now the odds-on favourite in Sky Bet's next Premier League manager to leave betting.

The Reds scraped through on penalties against Sky Bet League 2 side Carlisle in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday night and that unconvincing success has seen the pressure build further on Rodgers.

Carlo Ancelotti has already been linked with the top job at Anfield and the former Chelsea boss is the 7/2 second-favourite behind even-money jolly Jurgen Klopp in the next Liverpool manager betting.

Newcastle boss Steve McClaren is also finding the going tough after Sky Bet Championship side Sheffield Wednesday dumped the Magpies out of the Capital One Cup with a 1-0 victory at St James' Park, adding more misery to a difficult start to the season.

The defeat leaves McClaren with only three wins in his last 21 games as a manager and his current club with only four in all competitions in 2015, and gave rise to yet another chorus of boos on the final whistle.

The former England boss is 9/2 from 11/2 to be the next top flight manager to leave their post with Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat second in the market at 11/8.
