Nuno Espirito Santo favourite for Arsenal job after Unai Emery is shown the door

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is the 6-4 favourite with Betfair and Paddy Power to replace Unai Emery at Arsenal after the Spaniard was sacked by Arsenal on Friday.

Former Gunner Freddie Ljungberg is also prominent in the betting and will take charge of the first team on an interim basis.

Coral make the Swede their 5-6 favourite to get the role on a permanent basis.

Manchester City coach and former Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta is
8-1 with Betfair and Paddy Power, while former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is 10-1 with Hills.

Emery had been on thin ice for several weeks and Thursday's Europa League defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt at the Emirates proved the final straw.
