Crystal Palace are set to sack Roy Hodgson and have lined up Oliver Glasner to replace him, with the Austrian understood to be close to agreeing a deal to take over after advanced talks on Thursday.

Hodgson was due at a press conference on Thursday before Palace’s trip to Everton on Monday but that was cancelled at just over half an hour’s notice. “Unfortunately, today’s press conference will no longer take place as scheduled as Roy Hodgson was taken ill during this morning’s training session,” Palace said.
