Former Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has replaced Sunderland’s David Moyes as the bookies’ favourite to be the next Premier League boss to be sacked.

Moyes has overseen a disappointing start to the season, wherein the Black Cats lost eight and drew two of their first 10 league games.

They have subsequently picked up victories over AFC Bournemouth and Hull City, yet remain bottom of the table.

That form had placed Moyes as most bookmakers’ front-runner to be dismissed among top-flight managers.

However, Crystal Palace’s recent run of six straight defeats - culminating in Saturday’s 5-4 loss at Swansea City - has seen the Eagles plummet to 17th, three points above Sunderland, and the ex-Toon boss’ odds shorten to 8/13.

Pardew is understood to be facing showdown talks with Palace chairman Steve Parish as pressure mounts from the club’s American co-owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer.

Bookmaker Betstars has Moyes as a 3-1 second-favourite to be the next EPL manager to be axed.

Swansea’s Bob Bradley, who since replacing Francesco Guidolin at the Liberty Stadium last month picked up only his first league win with that result against Palace, is 10/3 to be the next to lose his job.

Hull City stand third-bottom after losing six of their last eight games and eight in 11, and manager Mike Phelan - appointed permanent boss in October - can be backed for the sack at 7/2.
