Frank de Boer appears to have one more game to save his Crystal Palace job after the Dutchman took training on Wednesday.

Palace chairman Steve Parish has held talks with De Boer, following the club’s dismal start to the season in which they have lost all three Premier League games without scoring a goal.

It is understood that Palace have thought long and hard about sacking De Boer during the international break, with the 47-year-old needing to indicate a willingness to change his approach to stand any chance of clinging on to his job.

But it seems De Boer will now get Sunday’s trip to Burnley to demonstrate that he can adapt and improve results, otherwise he will almost certainly be sacked.

De Boer is considering ditching the three-man defence he has played in the Premier League so far and reverting to a 4-3-3 formation to try to save his job at Turf Moor.
