Crystal Palace are teetering on the edge of a crisis at Selhurst Park this season after eight games have gone by winless.
Prior to the season starting, even as a worst-case scenario Oliver Glasner would never have expected to be sitting 18th and winless after eight games.
These struggles were compounded by the 1-0 loss to Forest on Monday night, leading to speculation around Glasner’s future as Crystal Palace manager.

This week has already seen the Eagles linked with Graham Potter, who Steve Parish seems to admire as a manager.
Another possible name to take charge would be David Moyes who is keen on replacing Glasner if handed the chance.
But now it is reported that it is not just Glasner who the Eagles will be concerned about losing.
What Marc Guehi has been telling friends about the January transfer window
2025 could see yet another huge shift at Selhurst Park, with multiple players likely to be considering an exit – with even more likely to leave if things don’t improve.
But of every player possibly leaving, Marc Guehi looks the most nailed-on and now he has been talking with friends about his potential exit.
It is according to a report from Football Insider which explains that Guehi is keen on joining a top club such as Liverpool, upon his departure from Selhurst Park.
Guehi believes he can aim higher than Newcastle – despite their relentless pursuit in the summer as he holds out for a top-four move.
The Eagles No.6 has also reportedly told his friends that a move to Liverpool would be of particular interest – with the Reds long pursuing Guehi as a Virgil van Dijk successor.
This comes after insiders at Crystal Palace have accepted that Guehi will leave in the next two transfer windows.
Crystal Palace are well placed to cope with Guehi sale
Despite being an “immense” defender, losing Guehi would be far from the end of the world for the Eagles regardless of who is the manager at the time.
Guehi is a key player for Crystal Palace we have no delusions about this, but for how much he could bring in – selling would be a no-brainer. The argument grows strong with how impressive Maxence Lacroix has been since his arrival.

| Stat per 90 | Guehi | Lacroix |
| Games | 8 | 5 |
| Passing accuracy % | 85.39 % | 80.69 % |
| Long pass accuracy | 56.82 % | 59.52 % |
| Duels won | 5.3 | 5 |
| Clearances | 6 | 4.4 |
| Interceptions | 0.8 | 1.6 |
| Blocked shots | 1.2 | 0.7 |
Despite all the struggles the Eagles have had – Lacroix has settled in really well and we would back him to continue improving as Crystal Palace hopefully picks up some form.
Selling Guehi would see the best defender leave, but he could be replaced and other positions could also be strengthened, so there is no reason to be worried.
