Alan Pardew has been sacked by Crystal Palace following eight defeats in 10 Premier League matches, with former England manager Sam Allardyce set to hold talks over replacing him.

Sky sources understand Allardyce’s representatives will meet for talks with Palace chairman Steve Parish in the next 24 hours.

It is understood no agreement is in place yet between Parish and Allardyce, although the former England manager has made it clear he is keen to return to football management in the near future.
