The Gunners’ boss could face heavy consequences for being unable to come out of the latest north London derby with a positive result.

Tottenham earned north London bragging rights after they outplayed Arsenal in Sunday’s exciting Premier League fixture.

The 2-0 defeat saw Mikel Arteta’s men suffer their worst start to a Premier League campaign in 39 years, with a mere 13 points collected from the opening 11 matches.

Pressure has been mounting on the Spanish manager for some time, and it appears to have reached quite a dangerous point.

According to Betfair, Arteta is now more likely to get the sack than any of the other 19 Premier League managers, with his price dropping from 7/1 to 11/2 after Sunday’s loss.

Should he indeed be removed from the managerial office at the Emirates, Massimiliano Allegri is the favorite to take his place at 17/10.

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Thomas Tuchel is another option to replace the under-fire Gunners boss at 10/3. So are club legends Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry with 5/1 and 6/1 odds respectively.
