Ian Wright believes every team in the Premier League will want to play Crystal Palace. Another defeat for the Eagles has placed them in freefall, with no league win in 2023.
The loss to Brighton last Wednesday proved the final straw for chairman Steve Parish, who pulled the trigger on Patrick Vieira after 20 months in charge. Roy Hodgson was appointed as the new manager today and, while Palace are 12th, putting them top of the nine-team mini-league for relegation, they are second bottom of the Premier League’s form table.
Another defeat against Arsenal - combined with having nobody in the dugout - has amplified the alarm bells around Selhurst Park. Wright, who played for both clubs, has given his thoughts on the relegation race.
