There has been a flurry of activity with punters backing Rodgers in the wake of Leicester City's come-from-behind 2-1 win.

It means he's now 7/2, ahead of the likes of Jose Mourinho, Massimiliano Allegri and Eddie Howe.

Rodgers was previously linked with managerial jobs at Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United during his time with Celtic though there didn't appear to be much in the reports.

The former Liverpool manager left Parkhead earlier this year after Leicester came calling.
