MIKEL ARTETA remains favourite to be the first Premier League manager to lose his job this season, according to bookmakers Betfair.
That's despite securing a dominant 3-1 victory over North London rivals Tottenham on Sunday.

The Gunners ripped Spurs apart with Emile Smith Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka all finding the target in the opening 34 minutes.
Arsenal propped up the table after three games but have climbed to tenth after three-consecutive victories.
Arteta was previously available at 4/9 to be the first top-flight boss sent packing.
But he's now drifted to 11/4 with several of his rivals shortening in the betting market after six rounds of fixtures.
Steve Bruce is second favourite at 10/3.
Newcastle are still winless having clung onto a point against newly-promoted Watford over the weekend.
The Toon are in 17th position with three points – just above Leeds on goal difference.

Watford boss Xisco is 7/1 followed by Daniel Farke at 15/2 after Norwich's latest defeat to Everton at Goodison Park.
Including the last 10 games of the 2019-20 season, Farke has now suffered 16 consecutive top-flight defeats.
Nuno Espirito Santo had been priced at around 40/1 after the club's excellent start.
But there's been a massive price shift on the Portuguese tactician after successive league defeats to Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal – he's now 9/1.
After the match, Nuno said: "We were not good enough and Arsenal did a good game. It's always hard when you concede early in a game and we were not able to control the match.
"Credit to Arsenal because they were strong, aggressive and stronger. What I focus on is making the right decisions.
"We learn in every moment. We are trying to build. There are a lot of things wrong and there are a lot of things good."
Wolves' Bruno Lage is 10/1 with Ralph Hasenhuttl, Patrick Vieira and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer locked together at 14s.
