Roy Hodgson Confirmed To Return To Crystal Palace After Sacking Patrick Vieira .

Roy Hodgson has been confirmed to return as Crystal Palace boss until the end of the season.

Hogson replaces Patrick Vieira – who was sacked on Friday – and returns to Selhurst Park just under two years after he initially left the club.

The 75-year-old said it was a ‘privilege’ to return to south-west London and he’s looking forward to helping the club in their bid for survival.

Hogson:

‘It is a privilege to be asked to return to the club, which has always meant so much to me, and to be given the important task of turning the team’s fortunes around.’

‘Our sole objective now is to start winning matches, and to get the points necessary to ensure our Premier League status.

Crystal Palace is known for its fighting spirit, and I have no doubt that all our supporters will fight with us, beginning with the visit of Leicester City a week Saturday.’

Chairman Steve Parish said Hodgson’s experience was the reason behind his reappointment.

‘I would like to welcome Roy and Ray back to the club.’

‘We are obviously in a very challenging period but we believe that Roy’s and Ray’s experience, knowledge of the club and players, alongside Paddy can help fulfil the immediate requirement of keeping us in the league.’

Hodgson’s first game is a six-pointer against relegation rivals Leicester City on April 1st at Selhurst Park.

Palace are 12th in the table and have been stuck in the same position since the turn of the year.

That’s despite the fact they’re without a win in 13 matches across all competitions.

Palace scored just six times during that run and the club reluctantly decided to sack Vieira last Friday.

 Arsenal’s make it to eight point clear on top as Bukayo Saka strike twice in 4-1 Premier League win over Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.

Early on, Crystal Palace managed to give Arsenal some problems, with Wilfried Zaha running with the ball on the left flank.

He cut inside to shoot with his right, but his shot clattered the post before bouncing back off of Aaron Ramsdale’s legs and going out for a corner kick.

In the 28th minute, the opener came after Saka clipped a cross into the box for Gabriel Martinelli, who managed to evade Joel Ward and drill a left-footed shot into the bottom-right corner.

Arsenal were well on top after the first goal, and scored their second right on the brink of half-time.

After Granit Xhaka sent a cross across the face of goal, Saka collected the loose ball, and played a one-two with Ben White before curling a shot right into the back of the net.

Ten minutes after the restart, Leandro Trossard played a through ball to put Granit Xhaka in behind the Palace defence and the Swiss managed to find the back of the net under pressure.

Crystal Palace pulled one back in the 63rd minute from a corner.

Jeffrey Schlupp reacted the quickest, chesting the ball down before striking it home from about six yards out.

Saka scored his second in the 74th minute with a first-time shot after Palace failed to clear their lines.

It was the winger’s 12th goal this season, a new career high in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace Sack Patrick Vieira Ahead Of Arsenal Clash

Former Arsenal Legend Patrick Vieira has been sacked by Crystal Palace after less than two years in charge.

Palace have been in poor form since the resumption of domestic football after the World Cup, having not won a match in 2023.

Crystal Palace are on a run of 11 Premier League matches without a win, and are still waiting for their first League victory of 2023 as a midweek derby defeat to Brighton,

which has proved to be Vieira’s final match in charge, continued the club’s struggles.

While Palace sit 12th in the table, they are just three points clear of the relegation zone.

Goals have been a major problem, with just six scored in the 13 League matches played since the World Cup.

The decision to remove Vieira comes just two days before Palace travel to north London to face Arsenal in their fine their final match before the international break.

Palace chairman Steve Parish

“It is with enormous regret that this difficult decision has been made.”

“Ultimately, results in recent months have placed us in a precarious league position and we felt a change is necessary to give us the best chance of retaining Premier League status.

“That said, Patrick’s impact since joining us in the summer of 2021 has been significant, and he is held in the highest regard by myself, and all of his colleagues.

He led the team to a Wembley FA Cup semi-final and respectable 12th placed finish last season playing some exciting football,

which was a challenging and crucial campaign for the club given the changes we made to the squad prior to his arrival.

“Patrick has given his all to the club, and we all thank him and his team for their service.”

Manchester City narrowed the gap to two points between themselves and Premier League leaders Arsenal after their 1-0 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Pep Guardiola’s side started on the front foot from the moment the first whistle was blown, dominating in both possession,

entries into the box and shots, but didn’t fully test Vincente Guaita, with their eight shots in the first half all being off-target.

The hosts were organised and were able to keep the visitors at bay, but were unable to offer any threat from set-pieces or counter-attack situations.

The second half was a lot more cagey to start from both sides, who grew frustrated at their lack of chances.

City had a golden chance to open up the scoring after Jack Grealish was pulled back by Luka Milivojevic right on the edge of the box.

The resulting free-kick saw Phil Foden’s bending shot go around the wall, and towards goal, but Guaita managed to dive quickly to his right to push the shot away from danger.

Late in the half, Michael Olise clipped Ilkay Gundogan in the box after running into him, and the referee did not hesitate to point to the spot.

Erling Haaland stepped up to take the penalty, and sent Guaita the wrong way to score his fifth goal from the spot this season.

Manchester United will  aimed 10th consecutive victory in all competitions when they face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in Wednesday’s Premier League fixture.

Erik ten Hag is expected Marcus Rashford to be fit to start for Manchester United the match but Anthony Martial is a doubt.

he could find his place under threat from Alejandro Garnacho or even debutant Wout Weghorst.

Conor Gallagher’s first goal for Chelsea helped the Blues snatch all three points in stoppage-time in a 2-1 draw at Selhurst Park.

The Eagles capitalised on a fragile and new-look Chelsea defence inside ten minutes as Odsonne Edouard linked up with Jordan Ayew,

the latter crossing for the former to poke home ahead of Wesley Fofana.

The hosts threatened a second but Kepa Arrizabalaga denied Eberechi Eze with a brilliant diving save.

And Ayew thought he was through after picking Thiago Silva’s pocket, only for the defender to punch the ball clear.

The Brazilian got away with a yellow despite a VAR check, and fanned the flames when, moments later he set up Chelsea’s leveller.

Silva headed down for Pierre Emerick-Aubemayang to grab his first goal for Chelsea, rifling home on the spin.

Chelsea dominated possession in the second-half but could not break down Palace’s stubborn back line.

Mason Mount wasted two good chances but the Blues looked blunt and Palace remained a threat on the counter.

A moment of brilliance settled it as substitute Gallagher hit a brilliant 25-yard effort into the top corner, to earn all three points for Graham Potter during his first Premier League match in charge.
