UK Back Pages: Is Manuel Pellegrini's Job in Jeopardy as Man City Fade?

Is Manuel Pellegrini in trouble? 

The Manchester City boss led the Citizens to the Premier League title last season, but after a disappointing 2-1 loss at Selhurst Park that essentially ended Manchester City's title challenge, the media are starting to speculate on the murky future of the Chilean in the hot seat. 

Sun Sport sums up the situation with an invented word: "Perilgrini."

Mirror Sport calls the loss a "Knockout Punch," which, of course, is in reference to Jason Puncheon, who delivered Palace's second goal, a delightful free-kick. It also runs quotes from Tim Sherwood, who calls Aston Villa's Tuesday clash with Queens Park Rangers the biggest of their lives.

Express Sport also uses a Puncheon headline and reports on Wigan's sacking of disgraced former Cardiff manager Malky Mackay.
