The Crystal Palace chairman, Steve Parish, is seriously considering sacking Patrick Vieira as manager after a disastrous run that has left the club three points clear of the relegation zone.
Palace are yet to record a victory in 2023 in 12 matches and Wednesday’s defeat at Brighton was the fourth successive match they have failed to score. It is understood Parish has been deeply unimpressed by performances in recent weeks and has begun sounding out potential replacements for Vieira, with Burnley’s Vincent Kompany and Michael Carrick of Middlesbrough among those who could be targeted if he makes a change.
