Rising female stars Lucy Frazer, Victoria Atkins and Chloe Smith are tipped for promotion.
While Andrea Leadsom, Theresa Villiers and Therese Coffey could be heading for the chop.
The PM’s one time frenemy Mr Gove is being tipped to be the big winner of the shake-up by expanding his empire at the Cabinet Office by overseeing Brexit trade talks.
A Government insider told The Sun: “We expect Michael’s Cabinet Office empire will grow.”
Meanwhile, Government insiders also tipped him to take over as boss of the UN’s Cop26 climate change summit hosted in Glasgow later this year.
The job has become vacant after the PM sacked former minister Claire Perry O’Neill in a big bust up.

The PM and Mr Gove fell out spectacularly in the 2016 leadership race.
Mr Gove knifed Boris before launching his own failed bid for the top job.
But they have patched up their relationship.
