Pressure is mounting on Antonio Conte at Chelsea after a 4-1 defeat at Watford on Monday.
The Italian, who guided the Blues to a clear-cut Premier League title at the first attempt last season, is now 1/8 with Sky Bet to be the next top-flight manager to leave his job.
The 48-year-old took the blame for the defeat at Vicarage Road, while insisting "I'm not worried about my job."
Chelsea currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, just one point ahead of Tottenham, while they are set to face Hull in the FA Cup and Barcelona in the Champions League last 16 later this month.
Jamie Carragher on whether Antonio Conte will still be in charge for Chelsea’s next game against West Brom: “There’s a good chance he could go before then.” More on @SkySportsMNF #CFC

Chants of 'sacked in the morning' came from the Watford fans after watching their team dismantle the 10-man Blues on Monday evening.
The pressure comes despite the fact, reported by Opta, which states that Conte has the joint-best win rate of any manager (minimum five games) in Premier League history, level with Pep Guardiola.
Carlo Ancelotti - 5/2
Guus Hiddink - 5/2
Luis Enrique - 7/2
Thomas Tuchel - 4/1
Diego Simeone - 5/1
Maurizio Sarri - 10/1
Brendan Rodgers -12/1
Odds correct as of 1015 GMT 06/02/18.

Here we take a look at what fans are saying on social media, where the majority appear to be backing the former Juventus and Italy boss.

Conte keeps talking about 'his philosophy', keeps saying he's doing an 'incredible work' and is always giving 120 percent yet #cfc not having the most clean sheets or having the most goals either... it's time he tells us what this philosophy is and the 'work' he's doing!!

Conte's downfall began when he indulged in the mind games with Mourinho. Nobody can mess with Mourinho.#CFC

I'm wondering if Morata is even injured . It wouldn't surprise me if he's had a falling out with #Conte #CFC

Conte may not be the right coach for @ChelseaFC but he still needs time.

I believe he can turn things around.

Huge test upcoming for Conte. He’s never been challenged in his career like this. Would like to see him get the chance to turn things around, and hope the board don’t pull the trigger to early #CFC

I don’t want Conte to leave I hope he doesn’t get sacked. If he did go then appointing Sarri would be a good appointment BUT that also has all the ingredients to go wrong. #cfc

Sacking Conte will be a very poor decision by the @ChelseaFC board IMO we need CONTE-nuity regardless of our poor form. Cc: @oviosu @seunonigbinde #CFC

Unbelievable support from the fans last night. Conte has to stay. #cfc

Conte can only work with the tools provided. Rudiger and Baka are not Terry and Matic. Get real defenders! #cfc

Abosutley gutted about last night result against Watford but lets get behind Conte. He won us the league last season and gave us champions league football so lets get behind Antoino Conte!! Not an ideal situation but in Conte we trust. #CFC #Conte

But once the Chelsea Board have Destroyed something good and now I can see the end is near 😢😢💙💙#ConteIn #CFC #ChelseaFC pic.twitter.com/U9OBXGZlvg
I’ll say this over n over again Idc. Sacking Conte is not gonna solve anything, in fact it’ll probably make matters 10x worse. This continuous cycle is hurting the club & needs to stop. Right now is a time where we all need to stick together. It’s only gonna get tougher! #CFC
