Neil Warnock has become the first Premier League managerial casualty of the season, having been sacked by Crystal Palace.

66-year-old Warnock's second spell in charge of the Eagles has lasted just four months, and the club sit third from bottom in the Premier League and without a league win since November's defeat of Liverpool.

Palace suffered a 3-1 defeat against Southampton yesterday.

Keith Millen will take caretaker charge of the team against QPR tomorrow.

In a statement, Crystal Palace said "the club would like to put on record its thanks to Neil for all his hard work and energy over the past four months."
