Crystal Palace have sacked manager Pierre Sage after just five months in charge, with the club bottom of the Premier League.

Former Brentford and Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is in advanced talks to take over.

Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Liverpool was Palace's fourth in succession in a league campaign in which they have won two of their opening 10 matches.

Palace are also 21st in the 36-team Europa League table, with one win from their four matches.
