Norwich City manager Dean Smith sacked after Boxing Day defeat

Relegation favourites Watford just made it back to the Premier League with coach Xisco Munoz, after spending the last season in the Championship. Seven games into the season, the Hornets were 14th and Munoz was sacked. Former Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri now manages the team.

Second bottom of the league currently, Newcastle have just changed owners, with the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund taking over in a £300 million deal. 13 days after the takeover, manager Steve Bruce left his post. He was replaced by Eddie Howe on November 8.

London team, Spurs, who started the campaign at a trot, winning their first three matches under former Wolves man Nuno Espirito Santo and topping the league ahead of the first international break. As the second rolled around, they replaced Santo with Italian Antonio Conte, whose first match ended in a 0-0 draw.

The bookies’ favourite team to be relegated this year, Norwich have been in and out of the country’s top division, with manager Daniel Farke at the helm. Club management finally pulled the plug on his tenure after the club won their first match this season but stayed bottom of the table.

Recently losing your best player to Manchester City for a £100 million is a problem not a lot of clubs have, except Villa. Grealish’s departure seems to have left the team a shadow of their former self, leaving them with some barely impressive results and Dean Smith out of a job.
