Jørgen Strand Larsen is out with an ankle injury and was unable to contribute against Tottenham on Saturday. Roberto de Zerbi has over the past few weeks led Spurs up from the bottom of the Premier League table, and at the same time has worked his way out of the status of getting-soon-to-be-sacked. The same cannot be said for Palace coach Pierre Sage.
Because on Saturday, Tottenham took the 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace. Thus, Tottenham climbs to 8th place, while Palace is below the line, with 7 points from 9 games.

The loss of Oliver Glasner is great, the former success coach at Lens has not been able to find peace of mind after eight games. After the Brighton loss, Teamtalk’s sources reported that Palace were actively seeking alternatives to Sage, with Rob Edwards, Scott Parker and Kieran McKenna on the list of candidates.
After the Newcastle loss, two new names have come on the block. According to Teamtalk’s sources , former Nottingham Forest managers Sean Dyche and Vítor Pereira have both “made themselves available” for Crystal Palace, and are ready by the phone.
For Jørgen Strand Larsen, this is a bad situation, where he himself has not been able to deliver on expectations, so far only 1 poor goal in 7 Premier League games, now injured and without the opportunity to help the club and the coach.
