Crystal Palace fans may be bracing themselves for a worst-case scenario as former England striker Chris Sutton has warned that the Eagles could find themselves dragged into a relegation battle in the Premier League.
Sutton, speaking on Monday Night Club, believes that if Crystal Palace do not make a decision on manager Oliver Glasner soon, they risk becoming embroiled in a desperate fight for survival in the top flight. This comes as the team currently sits in 17th place, with just six games left to play before the end of the season.
The warning from Sutton is a stark reminder that Palace's safety at the bottom tier of the table is far from assured. With several teams below them still boasting a reasonable points tally, it appears that even one win or two could prove disastrous for the Eagles if they fail to capitalize on their own momentum.
A relegation battle would be a crushing blow to Palace supporters who have shown remarkable resilience and patience in the face of adversity this season. Despite facing numerous setbacks, including key injuries to several senior players, the team has managed to scrape together some notable victories, leaving fans optimistic that they may still avoid the drop.
However, the warning from Sutton serves as a timely reminder that complacency could be Palace's biggest enemy if they are unable to secure a long-term solution at manager. If Glasner is indeed set to leave, it would be in their best interests to identify an interim or permanent replacement who can galvanize the team and steer them towards safety.

They're sitting 17th with only 6 games left, which is super concerning! Chris Sutton's warning about a possible relegation battle is giving me major anxiety 
One win or two could be disastrous for them if they don't capitalize on their momentum. I've gotta say, it's crazy to think that Palace fans have been so patient and resilient despite all the setbacks this season 
They've shown so much heart and determination, and I really believe they can turn things around with the right manager in place. Sutton's warning is a good reminder that complacency is their enemy, though - they need to find an interim or permanent replacement ASAP! 
Fingers crossed they can avoid the drop and keep flying high 
. It'd be a shame if all their hard work this season went to waste...
6 games left is still a long way off but you can bet the teams below them are gonna be gunnin for them 
... Crystal Palace fans are already dealing with so much stress and uncertainty on top of this relegation warning? It's like, they're already fighting for survival without knowing if their manager is even going to stick around. And what's the point of having momentum if you can't build on it? They need to figure out who's behind the bench ASAP or they'll be in for a world of hurt 
. Sutton's right, complacency is key - if they can find a solid manager who can keep them on track, they might just avoid the drop 
. But if not... 
Palace has had some tough luck with injuries and whatnot, but I don't think they're gonna get dragged into a relegation battle that easily 
They've shown some good form lately and have a decent squad, they just need to sort out their management situation ASAP 
If they do lose Glasner, I think they can find someone who's gonna turn things around for them 
It's all about finding the right guy now 
... i mean crystal palace has had some ups and downs this season but a relegation battle sounds like way too much for me... they just need to get a solid manager in place and they'll be golden 
, thats my 2 cents!
! 17th place with 6 games left is already super precarious, and if they don't make a decision on Glasner soon, it's going to be a real scramble for survival 
️
. The thought of those fans who've been through so much already dealing with the stress of relegation is just heartbreaking 
. But let's not count Palace out just yet, I'm kinda rooting for them to stay up 
. They need to find someone who can motivate the team and keep them going until the end of the season 
] Their season is like a game of "survival roulette" - one win or two and they're OUT! 
]
. Either way, it's gonna be an exciting (and possibly brutal) final stretch of games 
but you know what? i still believe in palace 
theyve got the spirit, the willpower & the fans behind them!!! 
let's hope glasner finds a way to stabilize things & get the team back on track
