Roy Hodgson is expected to remain in charge of Crystal Palace for next week’s match against Sheffield United amid growing uncertainty over his position.
Palace have won just once in their previous 12 games, highlighted by Saturday’s 5-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Hodgson has been under intense pressure for weeks following the team’s poor performance and has held informal talks with co-owner and chairman Steve Parish following the Emirates loss.
The 76-year-old will continue to prepare the team for next Tuesday’s crucial match against the bottom of the table the Blades.
