Roy Hodgson insisted he expects to be taking charge of Crystal Palace for the final time in Sunday's Premier League season-ender at home to Nottingham Forest, but did not rule out staying on.

Hodgson took the reins at his boyhood club for the second time on a short-term contract after the sacking of Patrick Vieira, and has taken 17 points from nine games to steer Palace well clear of relegation trouble.

Such has been the turnaround in form that Hodgson has been seen as a candidate to take the job on a longer-term basis, but the 75-year-old said that was not on his mind.

'As far as I'm concerned, this is my last game,' Hodgson said. 'I signed a contract here until the end of the season and I was grateful to do so. All along, I have seen this as my last game on my contract and as far as I'm concerned that's what it is.'

When asked if he would be open to staying on if asked by chairman Steve Parish, Hodgson added: 'I don't know, I'll wait until that day arrives if it ever arrives. At the moment I don't have to concern myself with that.
