Roy Hodgson: Crystal Palace set to sack manager; Oliver Glasner favourite to take over

Crystal Palace are set to sack manager Roy Hodgson, with former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner a strong favourite to take the job.

Hodgson, 76, took charge of his 200th match as Palace manager earlier this week but his side were beaten 3-1 at Selhurst Park by Chelsea.

Palace face Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Monday.

Hodgson was due to speak to the media on Thursday, but Palace said the news conference would no longer take place after Hodgson was "taken ill during this morning's training session".

Palace have won three league games since their victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in September and have lost 10 of their past 16 top-flight matches.
