At the start of this season, would anyone have predicted Unai Emery and the previously retired Roy Hodgson would be vying for the Premier League manager of the month award going into the final weeks of the campaign?
The 2022-23 has been particularly ruthless for managers, with a Premier League-record 13 departures and only one of those - Graham Potter at Brighton - having left of his own accord.
Of those not sacked, Nottingham Forest's Steve Cooper has been told "results and performances must improve immediately" by owner Evangelos Marinakis and West Ham's David Moyes appears to be under pressure whenever his struggling side lose a game.
