The 2025–26 campaign has already claimed three casualties, as Graham Potter, Nuno Espirito Santo, and Ange Postecoglou were all dismissed before October. With results under scrutiny across the league, more changes could follow before the winter break.

Liverpool’s struggles under Slot have become a growing concern at Anfield. The Reds have lost five of their last six games, and while his position remains safe for now, the club’s hierarchy expects an immediate turnaround in both results and performances.

At Molineux, tension reached boiling point when Wolves manager Vitor Pereira clashed with supporters after a disappointing home defeat. His side’s poor run of form has left the club hovering near the relegation zone, and insiders suggest the board’s patience is wearing thin.

Meanwhile, Manchester United’s Ruben Amorim, who was under intense pressure just weeks ago, appears to have earned a temporary reprieve. A string of improved results has eased doubts about his tenure, though a dip in form could reignite speculation.

Across London, Marco Silva’s Fulham have endured an inconsistent start, managing just two wins from their opening fixtures. While the Portuguese coach retains backing from the board, a difficult run of fixtures could force the club to reconsider his position.

In contrast, some managers are thriving. Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta remains untouchable after guiding his side to the top of the table, while Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola and Tottenham’s Thomas Frank have both exceeded expectations with bold, attacking football.

Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola is one of the few bosses whose job appears immune to outside pressure. The Spaniard, who has delivered consistent domestic success, is expected to decide his own future rather than be forced out by the club.

New Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche also enjoys short-term safety after earning an encouraging win in his first match in charge. However, the club’s volatile history with managers means results must keep coming to avoid another abrupt change.

Elsewhere, mid-table clubs such as Crystal Palace, Brighton, and Newcastle are monitoring progress quietly, with no immediate threats of dismissal. Yet, the fast-paced nature of the Premier League means fortunes and fates can shift overnight.

As the season unfolds, the next few weeks could determine who survives the cut. For Slot, Pereira, and Silva, every match now feels like an audition one that could decide whether they finish the season on the touchline or on the job market.
