MARCO SILVA became the eighth Premier League manager to be sacked and according to Sun Bets the next top-flight boss to be axed is Mauricio Pellegrino.
The Southampton boss is to be sacked while Rafa Benitez is walking on thin ice in the bookies’ eyes as is to leave Newcastle.
It’s believed Pellegrino gave himself a lifeline and avoided the chop by drawing against Tottenham on Sunday.
Although Saints’ draw against Spurs is a good result, the south coast outfit have not won a league game since November.
And with his days are believed to be numbered on the south coast, former Watford boss is take the Southampton hotseat in the current 2017/18 season.
Despite failing to pick up a Premier League win in their last 11 games, Pellegrino remains optimistic.

Following the 1-1 draw against Spurs, he said: “We have to continue in this way, the spirit and the commitment on the pitch was very good.
“Against these types of team you can lose in a minute, everything can change but we were there until the end.
"We are in trouble in the table but in three or four weeks it can change. Between 10 or 11 teams there are just a few points and that will stay the same.”
Sun Bets spokesman Tim Reynolds said: “In my eyes, the result against Spurs extended the time he faces the axe, rather than genuinely make his position more secure.
“And with Marco Silva back in the shop window, Saints could be desperate to make a move for the unemployed Portuguese.”
