After sacking Patrick Vieira earlier this week, Crystal Palace have an urgent job on their hands in replacing him quickly, with one of their potential targets seemingly waiting around for the West Ham vacancy.The Frenchman fell on his sword at Selhurst Park after not being able to motivate his side to get a single win from their games in 2023, their last victory coming on the final day of 2022 according to WhoScored.

Former Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is being considered as an option to take over as manager at Selhurst Park after the sacking of Patrick Vieira.It would be a remarkable return for former England boss Hodgson, who was replaced by Vieira in July 2021.Under-21s boss Paddy McCarthy is taking charge of the Eagles against league leaders Arsenal on Sunday.

Glasgow Rangers have produced a number of talented players in their academy in recent years, and Michael Beale has a plethora of options to call upon from the B team this season.The likes of Adam Devine, Alex Lowry and Leon King have all played first-team minutes after graduating from the youth setup this term, and they will be looking to follow in the footsteps of players like Allan McGregor and Nathan Patterson, among others who successfully made the transition from academy to first-team.

Real Madrid are monitoring developments with Tottenham's England striker Harry Kane, 29, whose contract runs out in 2024 and has been linked with a possible move to Manchester United or Bayern Munich.A 200m euros (£175m) release clause written into Erling Haaland's contract with Manchester City is no longer valid and the club will be able to set their own price should they wish to sell the 22-year-old Norway striker, who is under contract until 2027.

Erik ten Hag said Manchester United have to learn how to be more ruthless after missing out on the opportunity to move ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League table and to within six points of the leaders, Arsenal.A brilliant free-kick from Crystal Palace's Michael Olise in the final minute of normal time cancelled out Bruno Fernandes' goal for United and denied Ten Hag a 10th straight victory in all competitions.

P atrick Vieira told his Crystal Palace players they need to be more clinical, after his side failed to capitalise on their first-half dominance on Wednesday night.Palace were the better team against Tottenham in the opening 45 minutes, but could not take advantage and suffered another heavy home defeat.

C rystal Palace winger Malcolm Ebiowei has agreed to join Championship side Hull on loan.The 19-year-old joined Palace on a free transfer from Derby last summer after the Eagles saw off competition from Manchester United to sign him on a five-year deal.Ebiowei has made five substitute appearances under Patrick Vieira this season but Palace believe more regular football in the Championship will help his development.

There will be no reunion between Arsenal and Patrick Vieira when Crystal Palace head to the Emirates on Sunday.The former Gunners captain was relieved of his duties just two days before the game after overseeing a run of 12 straight games without a win - a run which covers the entirety of 2023 - and watching Palace sleepwalk into a relegation battle.

Emiliano Martinez's celebrations were "stupid" and dampened Argentina's World Cup victory, says Patrick Vieira who won the title with France in 1998.Martinez shone in the penalty shootout win over France in the final, but was panned for some of his actions, which included a rude gesture with the Golden Glove he was awarded as best keeper.
