Gareth Southgate has been touted as a possible replacement for under-fire Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner in what would be an emotional return to the Premier League.

The Eagles are having a disastrous start to the season under the Austrian boss, without a win in their first eight Premier League games, boasting just three points to their name and having scored only five goals.

After a strong end to the last campaign with Glasner in charge a lot was expected of Palace this season but it already seems likely that they will be battling relegation.

The south London club remain off the bottom of the table thanks to Wolves and Southampton going through even worse campaigns so far, with just one point each.
The Guardian report that Glasner must improve things before the next international break to keep hold of his job, giving him just four matches to turn things around.

These games see Palace host Tottenham on Sunday before travelling to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup and then Wolves in the league before a home meeting with Fulham.

If Glasner has not picked up some wins then he could be out of Selhurst Park and the Guardian’s report states that Southgate could well be a target to replace him.
