Leicester manager betting latest: Brendan Rodgers all the rage for Foxes role

Brendan Rodgers has been backed into 4-7 from 10-11 with Betfair and Paddy Power to be Leicester's next permanent manager as support continued for the bookmakers' favourite to replace Claude Puel.

Rodgers, currently in charge of Celtic, is said to be on a shortlist that also includes Rafael Benitez and Roberto Martinez among others, but there is a strong first choice according to the odds.

Most other candidates are on the drift with David Wagner out to 5-1 and it's 12-1 bar the front two. Sean Dyche has drifted to 12-1 with Benitez and Belgium boss Martinez available at 16-1.

Reports have suggested Neil Lennon, a former midfielder for the Foxes and available following his departure from Hibernian, would be interested in the role on an interim basis.

Betway are 14-1 that Lennon is the permanent replacement for Puel.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has been charged with improper conduct for his behaviour at the end of Tottenham's 2-1 defeat to Burnley when he confronted referee Mike Dean.

Spurs head to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday and look set to face Chelsea's goalkeeper Kepa, who according to the odds at least, will keep his place in the starting 11 despite controversially refusing to be substituted in Sunday's Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City on penalties at Wembley.

Hills initially offered 6-4 that Kepa would wear the gloves against Spurs, although that price is now only 1-4 with Power. The Spanish stopper is 5-2 to be dropped for the crucial London derby.

Sky Bet League One strugglers Bradford are on the hunt for a new manager after David Hopkin quit following Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Walsall.

Bolton's Phil Parkinson is Sky Bet's 5-2 favourite for a return to Valley Parade. Martin Drury is 6-1 with Steve Evans at 8-1, Paul Hurst 9-1 and Gary Bowyer 10-1.
