Oliver Glasner is not in immediate danger of being sacked by Crystal Palace following their poor start to the season - but results must improve, and quickly.

Palace are one of four sides without a win in the Premier League so and find themselves in the bottom three.

The Eagles, who ended last season winning six of their last seven games, have looked a completely different side to that one - devoid of confidence and the ability to score goals.

Palace host Tottenham at the weekend, a game they would be underdogs in anyway, before massive matches in the Premier League against fellow winless side Wolves and Fulham.

Glasner accepted after the Nottingham Forest defeat that he may need to change formation from his favoured 3-4-3 system to get the most out of his side.

Summer signing Eddie Nketiah has yet to score in the league and Daichi Kamada is struggling for form and a position that suits him best.

Adam Wharton, who had such an impressive breakthrough season in the Premier League for Palace and is key to how they play, is struggling with a groin issue and was an unused substitute at Forest.

Palace have changed managers when they have been in threat of relegation before.

Sources say the conversation around Glasner's future has not yet been had, but that could change if form does not pick up before the November international break.
