Leeds suffered another defeat over the weekend when losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The Yorkshire outfit have now gone seven Premier League games without a win and remain 17th in the division, above the relegation zone only on goal difference.
Without a top-flight victory since 5 November, Marsch’s future is now under the microscope.
The American was backed in the transfer window with Georginio Rutter, Maximilian Wober and Weston McKennie arriving for around £40million.
He’s subsequently shortened to 10-3 to be the next Premier League manager to be relieved of his duties.

Betfair odds
Marcelo Bielsa – 4/1
Ralph Hasenhuttl – 5/1
Mauricio Pochettino – 5/1
Ange Postecoglou – 13/2
Carlos Corberan – 9/1
Rafa Benitez – 10/1
Michael Carrick – 12/1
Brendan Rodgers – 14/1
Thomas Tuchel – 16/1
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 20/1
Steven Gerrard – 20/1
But who’s on the shortlist to replace him?
Club hero Marcelo Bielsa is the frontrunner at 4-1 to return after being axed in February 2022.
Bielsa, 67, guided Leeds back to the top of English football after a 16-year absence and finished ninth last season.
The Argentine is looking for his next project and was close to joining Everton recently, only for Farhad Moshiri to appoint Sean Dyche instead.
Ralph Hasenhuttl and Mauricio Pochettino are locked together at 5-1, ahead of Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou at 13-2.
Carlos Corberan and Rafa Benitez are offered at 9-1 and 10-1 respectively, while Michael Carrick (12-1) and Brendan Rodgers (14-1) follow.
Thomas Tuchel is available at 16-1 with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Steven Gerrard the outsiders of the pack at 20s.
