Crystal Palace are expected to speak to Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe today over their vacant managerial post.
The 33-year-old is understood to have been granted permission to talk to the Eagles by the Cherries' board yesterday and will travel to south London today for talks.
All betting on the next permanent manager at Selhurst Park was suspended yesterday after an influx of bets for Howe, for whom Palace will have to pay a hefty compensation to Bournemouth should he accept the job.
He has though turned down jobs at Peterborough and Southampton in the past and could also be set for talks with Burnley and Preston, who are also after new managers.
Rochdale manager Keith Hill and former Leicester City boss Paolo Sousa are also believed to have held talks with Palace as they look for George Burley's successor.
Bookmakers Victor Chandler have opened betting again and retain former Palace manager Steve Coppell as favourite at 7/4, with Howe third at 3/1 behind Chris Hughton who is at 2/1.
