Crystal Palace chief Roy Hodgson is taking charge of his 400th Premier League game in today's clash against Nottingham Forest. 

The veteran tactician joins an elite club of bosses to manage the incredible feat.

We look at the eight managers to reach the milestone.

Roy Hodgson (400 matches)

Hodgson's managerial career began at Swedish outfit Halmstads BK in 1976 and has taken him all over Europe.

His first Premier League post was a brief spell with Blackburn from 1997-98 and he has since taken charge of Fulham, Liverpool, West Brom, Watford and, of course, the high-flying Eagles.

Mark Hughes (466 matches)

Mark Hughes cut his teeth in the dugout with Wales before moving to club football with Blackburn in 2004.

He spent time with Manchester City, Fulham, QPR and Southampton but is perhaps best remembered for the five years he took charge of Stoke as he turned the Potters into top-half regulars.

Steve Bruce (476 matches)

Steve Bruce earned his shot in the top flight after getting Birmingham promoted from the Championship and keeping them there for four seasons.

The Englishman also led Wigan, Sunderland, Hull and Newcastle in the top flight as well as Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday and West Brom in the Championship.

Sam Allardyce (541 matches)

Sam Allardyce is best known for his amazing work with Bolton from 1999 to 2007 — bringing the likes of Jay-Jay Okocha, Gary Speed and Youri Djorkaeff to Lancashire.

His CV also includes top-flight spells with Newcastle, Blackburn, West Ham, Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Everton, West Brom and a failed bid to save Leeds from the drop at the end of the 2022-23 season.

Harry Redknapp (641 matches)

Harry Redknapp enjoyed a successful period as West Ham boss, helping to bring through academy stars Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard, as well as signing Paolo Di Canio.

From there, he won the FA Cup with Portsmouth, endured an ill-fated move to South Coast rivals Southampton and worked with Gareth Bale at Tottenham, as well as spells at QPR and Birmingham.

David Moyes (665 matches)

After failing to reach the promised land with Preston, David Moyes got his chance with Everton and took it with both hands — leading the Toffees into Europe on several occasions and securing a top-four finish in 2005.

He was anointed as Alex Ferguson's heir at Manchester United in 2013 but struggled before rebuilding his reputation by winning the Europa Conference League with West Ham after a short stint at Sunderland.

Alex Ferguson (810 matches)

It is unlikely that Ferguson's record of winning 13 Premier League titles will ever be beaten.

The Scot dominated the English top flight from its inception until the day he called time on his career — striking up legendary rivalries with the likes of Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho.

Arsene Wenger (828 matches)

Wenger revolutionised English football with his disciplined, scientific approach after arriving at Arsenal in 1996.

He won three league titles with a thrilling brand of football and remains the only man to lead a team to an undefeated season with his famous Invincibles.
