Fulham’s Slavisa Jokanovic is the tenth manager to be removed from their position after facing the Reds.

After the departure of Slavisa Jokanovic, Liverpool have now seen off more Premier League managers than any other club.

Of the 157 dismissed during a league season, and with a tenure of at least two months, Jokanovic is the tenth to be removed after facing Liverpool following Fulham’s 2-0 defeat at Anfield.

This moves the Reds one clear of Chelsea and West Ham at the top of the list.

As might have been expected, the Manchester clubs and Arsenal are not far behind Liverpool – City have been the final opponents of eight managers, while Arsenal and United have both been the final opponents of seven.

Facing Tottenham is not as ominous however, with Mark Hughes’s tenure with the Citizens and Roy Evans’s spell at Liverpool the only two reigns to end following a match against Spurs.

Five of Liverpool’s 10 victims have come in the same time, with Slaven Bilic their previous scalp.
