Tottenham and Manchester United are more likely to sack their bosses than Arsenal are, reckons former West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop.
Mauricio Pochettino, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Unai Emery have all been under pressure at different points this season.
Tottenham, United and Arsenal all sit outside the Champions League qualification places in the Premier League table.
Hislop was asked out of a list of six managers - which also included Real Madrid’s Zinedine Zidane, Borussia Dortmund’s Lucien Favre and Barcelona’s Ernesto Valverde - to rank the three most likely to be given the boot by their respective club.

You wonder if Spurs are starting to think about who succeeds Mauricio Pochettino

The pundit chose the three Premier League managers with Emery as third most likely, followed by Solskjaer and then Pochettino.
“In third, Unai Emery who we’ve discussed a lot over the last couple of days,” Hislop told ESPN FC.
“All noises coming out of the Arsenal boardroom are that they’re happy with Unai Emery, happy with the job that he’s doing.
“Now, for disclosure here, I don’t see it myself but maybe the excuse is given who he’s lumbered with, the [Mesut] Ozil contract, Granit Xhaka not really delivering, maybe the board see it differently.

“Solskjaer, and this is a strange time to be putting Solskjaer in at two given Manchester United’s fortunes over recent weeks.
“But they’re every bit as likely to all of a sudden have a slump in form and if Manchester United again start to slide down the Premier League, maybe it forces the Manchester United board into some kind of a decision one way or the other.
“In at No 1 and again this is a difficult and strange call, given Pochettino’s successes at Spurs.
“Four years out of the five years that he’s been there they’ve finished in the top four but just given their struggles so far this season, you wonder if Spurs are starting to think about who succeeds Mauricio Pochettino.”
