Arsenal next manager odds: Conte, Rodgers and Pirlo emerge as favourites for Gunners job, Henry 16/1, Wenger 20/1
Antonio Conte, Brendan Rodgers and Andrea Pirlo are the leading contenders to takeover at Arsenal should Mikel Arteta get the sack, according to SkyBet.
Arteta was given until the second international break to turn things around after a dreadful start in the Premier League, but faltered against Crystal Palace at home on Monday night.

Some managers among the list are Arsenal legends, Tony Adams, Sol Campbell, Per Mertesacker, Patrick Vieira, Arsene Wenger, Thierry Henry and Freddie Ljungberg.
Henry is a 16/1 shot, Ljungberg's at 18/1 while Wenger is 20/1 to be the next permanent manager at the Emirates.
Rodgers has been linked with the Newcastle and Manchester United job already this season and was among the favourites for both of those.
However when asked about his role at Leicester it seemed that a switch within the league was unlikely.
He said: "One hundred per cent. I have got a contract until 2025, I absolutely love being here.
"I'm very fortunate. I’ve got a great chief executive and a director of football who I have a close relationship with and a a group of players that I really, really enjoy working with."

Arteta might have escaped the sack after a deadline was set for the international break just gone, but his performances are still being monitored closely.
Arsenal came out of their Monday night clash against Palace lucky to escape with a point after Alexandre Lacazette scored in the 95th minute.
Vieira made a return against Arsenal for the first time as manager for the Eagles and is a 20/1 gamble to takeover Arteta.
The France legend also joins a host of huge names including Pirlo who previously managed Juventus and could be looking for a vacancy soon.
