5 Premier League managers sack chances ranked as Erik ten Hag and Heckingbottom under serious threat

Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has taken to the English Premier League like a duck to water as his Tottenham Hotspur side sit at the summit after 10 games - the best start of any new boss in England's cut-throat top flight.
