Sun Bets pay out early on Frank de Boer being first Premier League boss to be axed as Crystal Palace lose at Burnley

SUN BETS have paid out early on Frank de Boer being the first Premier League boss to be sacked.

The Dutchman is facing the axe as the Eagles suffered a fourth straight defeat on Sunday.

Chris Woods' early goal secured Burnley a 1-0 victory over the South London club at Turf Moor.

And that result ensured that Palace have made the worst-ever start to a Premier League season having conceded seven and failing to find the net once.

Former Ajax chief De Boer is now facing the chop ahead of a nightmare run of fixtures.

Next up for his side is Southampton at home before trips to Manchester City and United followed by a clash with Chelsea.

And Sun Bets have had enough of the waiting and decided the setback against Burnley was the final nail in the coffin for De Boer.

It now looks certain that he will go and punters agree having backed the 47-year-old in from odds as big as 20/1 at the start of the season to 1/7.

Sun Bets Tim Reynolds said, "We've taken the decision to reward our customers who have backed De Boer to be the first Premier League manager to go as we feel that it's only a matter of time before his tenure at Palace comes to an end."

"There were a number of rumours circulating that Steve Parish was going to sack the Dutchman during the international break so we don't expect our decision to payout early to come back and haunt us."

Ex-England manager Roy Hodgson is the early favourite to replace De Boer at the helm with his odds at 4/5.

Sean Dyche, whose side inflicted the latest defeat on De Boer, is the second favourite with Sam Allardyce and Dougie Freedman both joint-third.

Following the loss against the Clarets, De Boer said: "I cannot believe we lost. There is still frustration about the result but not about our performance.

"I am not disappointed about the performance and it gives me a lot of hope for the future - I said straight after after to the boys that if you do like this you will get your goals and your rewards."

The front-runners to be Crystal Palace's next boss according to Sun Bets

Roy Hodgson 4/5, Sean Dyche 5/1, Dougie Freedman 8/1, Sam Allardyce 8/1, Eddie Howe 14/1, Mauricio Pellegrino 16/1, Claudio Ranieri 16/1, Roberto Mancini 20/1, Chris Coleman 20/1, David Moyes 20/1
