The 48-year-old took charge of Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig prior to accepting the Whites job, and presided over a 6-3 defeat to Manchester City in September.

Marsch stated he would endeavour to formulate a game-plan to nullify the Premier League heavyweights during his post-match interviews at Selhurst Park on Monday.
