Premier League Sack Race: Pressure Continues to Mount on Michael Carrick
Michael Carrick remains at the head of the betting in the Premier League sack race after Manchester United surrendered another lead in a 1-1 draw at Elland Road, following a 2-0 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Alvaro Arbeloa eased the pressure with Fulham’s first league win of the season, a 1-0 victory over Hull, while Oliver Glasner’s Nottingham Forest suffered a third consecutive defeat against Arsenal and are still waiting to score at home.
