## Summary

Crystal Palace are considering dismissing manager Pierre Sage after a 3-1 home defeat by Liverpool left the club bottom of the Premier League. It was their fourth consecutive league loss, increasing pressure on Sage just five months into his three-year contract.

Palace have taken seven points from 10 league matches and conceded 24 goals, the most in the division; they have also won once in four Europa League games. Former Tottenham and Brentford manager Thomas Frank is seen as a strong successor candidate, with ex-Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche also backed by some at the club. Palace next play Coventry on 21 November.
