Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson will become the oldest boss in the history of the Premier League on Saturday, when he leads his side out against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
The former England chief will be 71 years and 198 days old when the fixture takes place and will therefore become the most venerable manager in the competition’s history.

Until Hodgson takes charge on Saturday, the mark will remain that of former Newcastle manager, the late Bobby Robson, who was 71 years and 192 days old when he supervised Newcastle’s 4-2 loss at Aston Villa, a defeat that ultimately cost him his post.
