Leeds United are one of England's finest footballing institutions, and as such boasts a rich history laden with European adventures, trophy-winning exploits and supremely memorable moments.

However, the former two have certainly been in short supply in recent memory, with their 2004 relegation proving to be catastrophic for the long-term future of the club. It would take 16 years for them to return to the top flight, enduring numerous trials and tribulations across that period which caused such misery.

The ever-changing and often dysfunctional hierarchies that oversaw such failure were largely to blame, as it was their financial mismanagement which led to dropping out of the Premier League, but even during their Championship stint and a brief flirtation with League One, the decision-making was torrid.

Even in the modern era, the same foolish errors continue to be made, with Andrea Radrizzani the latest villain to add to the long and ever-growing list. It was his choices which led them back into the second division, with Daniel Farke having been handed a broken outfit with the task of leading them to promotion.

That being said, already the German has taken great strides towards such a goal, having invested with intelligence over the summer to bolster a squad that was ravaged by various questionable clauses left in contracts by the old ownership.

With 15 senior players departing, it remained clear one position that needed particular strengthening: a striker. Fortunately for the former Norwich City boss, he got his man in Joel Piroe.

How is Joel Piroe playing?

Unloading around £10m to tempt Piroe to Elland Road marked an almighty bargain for the Yorkshire outfit, as it saw them instantly attain a proven goalscorer for this level.

Having joined Swansea City from his homeland, the former Feyenoord finisher would score 22 and assist six in his debut term, before recording a further 19 goals the following season.

Such consistency in front of goal is a rare commodity nowadays, with former boss Russell Martin having praised his performances: "If you wanted it to fall to anyone, it is him, he is so clinical with both feet, and he is a great technician.

"But the most important thing he has is the right mentality when he gets around the goal. He shows composure, he is calm, and he just focuses on his technique, something that all top strikers possess."

Despite all of these starring attributes, which were in line to make him an instant hit at his new club, Farke clearly has other ideas. Although the Dutchman fired home a debut goal in their first and only win of the campaign thus far, their most recent fixture saw him deployed in a far deeper role, dropping into midfield at times.

Unsurprisingly, this nullified their attack, and they were held 0-0 by a poor Sheffield Wednesday side.

If the German is so intent on maintaining such a tactical notion, he will continue to draw frustration from fans. Many will likely even be harking back to their elite strikers of the past who could fulfil such a role, with there being one true standout in Jermaine Beckford who would surely fire them to promotion if he were to have his time again in Yorkshire.

How good was Jermaine Beckford?

Beckford is a hero around Elland Road, having come up from seemingly nowhere to fire them out of their darkest period as a club.

Playing non-league football whilst working as a repairman, it was a simple start to life for the now 39-year-old, who would go on to become one of League One's most prolific forwards.

However, that all changed when he heard of Leeds' interest: "Leeds United? Seriously?’ I was on my way. It was a two-second decision. I felt really awkward because I’d told Boothroyd I would sign and he thought I was making a mistake. He told me I’d play more at Watford," he told The Athletic.

Even if they would find their way to the Premier League before he did, he explained his decision with immense passion and a love for the club that few players nowadays would understand:

"The thing is — and it’s hard to explain this unless you saw it through my eyes — but once I played for Leeds there was literally no other club in the world I’d have swapped them for. I embraced everything about it, the club, the city, the culture. I’d got a taste and you couldn’t tell me it was better elsewhere. I wasn’t listening.”

Having made his debut in the Championship, after a couple of loan spells, he returned ready for first-team action despite their relegation. The 2007/08 season would mark his breakthrough, as he started it in blistering fashion before finishing on 20 league goals for the year. However, it would not be enough for promotion.

The term following he would improve upon those numbers, but again his 27 goals in League One could not push them over the line and they remained in the division. He would even claim the league's Player of the Year award as if to exacerbate his failure to earn promotion.

It would certainly be third time lucky for Beckford though, who added some creativity to his game to forge seven assists alongside his 25 goals. They would go up in second under Simon Grayson's leadership, cementing the forward's status as a "legend" in the eyes of reporter Anthony Lewis and much of the fanbase. 2010 was at last a good year to be a Leeds fan.

However, despite finally triumphing after years of relentlessly pushing, this would mark the end of his journey with the club he had clearly fallen in love with.

The finances looked no better despite moving up a level, and it almost seemed like the club owed something to the six-cap ex-Jamaica international when they cancelled his contract to allow him to move to Everton.

He would never score with the same consistency that he did at Leeds, but it would have marked an impossible task to maintain such ludicrous numbers.

Beckford is still remembered with fondness today, even despite the stain that his transfer requests left at the time, as he was the man who stuck with them despite all their struggles. The free-scoring forward was not to bail out on his club despite their failure to achieve promotion, only leaving once he'd finished what he started.

Grayson owes plenty of his success to the heroic forward, and were he in Farke's team today, Piroe would certainly have to step aside to let the promotion king do what he does best.

Crystal Palace host Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday, with both sides coming into the game off big victories in the League Cup.

When it comes to top-flight action, Wolves got their first points of the season on the board last week by beating Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park, in what might prove a vital win for Gary O'Neil's side against a would-be relegation rival. Palace, meanwhile, drew 1-1 with Brentford in an entertaining London derby.

So what can we expect when these sides meet? We at Football FanCast have look at what's come before.

Crystal Palace v Wolves: What's the head-to-head record?

Palace and Wolves have played each other 74 times in total, with the first meeting between the teams coming way back in January 1906.

That was an FA Cup tie that finished 2-2, with Palace going on to win the replay – which was played at the Crystal Palace Stadium, then the host venue for the competition's final – 4-2. Indeed, the Eagles won four of their first six encounters with Wolves, with their only defeat in that run coming in a Division Two game in May 1923.

Between March 1970 and March 1995, Palace beat Wolves just once from 21 meetings, though since then the fixture has been much more evenly contested.

But who comes out on top overall? It's Wolves, with 30 wins to Palace's 25. There have been 19 draws.

Crystal Palace wins	25
Wolves wins	30
Draws	19

Crystal Palace v Wolves: What's the record at Crystal Palace?

Of the 74 games between these sides, 37 have come at Palace, with the Eagles winning 15 of those matches. Wolves have claimed an away victory on 11 occasions.

Palace have certainly had the better of Wolves at Selhurst Park in recent years, winning their last three home league games against the team from the midlands.

The Eagles have scored 53 goals at home against Wolves, conceding 46 in return, so Palace just about edge that statistic when it comes to home matches.

Crystal Palace wins	15
Wolves wins	11
Draws	11

Crystal Palace v Wolves: What's the record at Molineux?

The other 37 games have, of course, come at Wolves, who have the stronger home record when it comes to this fixture.

Palace have claimed nine wins at Molineux, with Wolves winning 19 times on home turf. Generally speaking, the home team has had the better of this encounter down the years.

Wolves have managed 47 home goals against Palace, so that's short of the Eagles' corresponding tally and only one more strike than Wolves have tallied in their trips to south London.

Palace, however, have been restricted to just 39 goals at Molineux.

Crystal Palace wins	9
Wolves wins	19
Draws	9

Crystal Palace v Wolves: What's their Premier League record?

Only 10 of the games between Palace and Wolves have come in the Premier League, with the sides first playing each other in the competition in 2018.

Palace have had the better of these meetings, with the Eagles having a 50 per cent win ratio, with Wolves managing four victories. One of those came in the first Premier League fixture played between these sides, when Matt Doherty netted a 56th-minute winner.

Since they were promoted to the Premier League after a 14-year absence in 2018, Wolves have only lost more league games against Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United than they have against Palace.

The Eagles beat Wolves for four Premier League encounters running between January 2021 and October 2022, but Wolves did triumph 2-0 in the last meeting between these teams, back in April.

Given this is the Premier League we're talking about, we can further contextualise the records with points. Wolves have taken 13 and Palace 16.

The only Premier League draw between Palace and Wolves came in September 2019, when Diogo Jota scored late on after Leander Dendoncker's own goal had put the Eagles ahead.

Crystal Palace wins	5
Wolves wins	4
Draws	1

Crystal Palace v Wolves: Which team has the most goals?

There has been a total of 185 goals scored across the 74 fixtures, which results in an average of 2.5 goals per game – there's generally a fair bit of entertainment on offer when Palace and Wolves meet!

The pair are extremely evenly matched, but it's Wolves who just edge it in terms of goals scored, with 93 strikes to Palace's 92.

Interestingly, of those 185 goals, the 10 Premier League matchups have only produced 19 (1.9 per game on average), and there has never been a bigger winning margin than two goals for either side from those matches.

Indeed, eight of the Premier League games have seen the winning side keep a clean sheet. Palace have shut Wolves out on four of the five occasions they have won, while Wolves have kept a clean sheet in all four of their Premier League victories over the Eagles.

Crystal Palace goals	92
Wolves goals	93

Crystal Palace v Wolves: What's Crystal Palace's biggest win?

Down the years, there hasn't been much to split these sides, even in games when plenty of goals have been scored. However, Palace did claim an emphatic 5-0 win, way back in April 1923 in a Division Two match.

There isn't much on record about this game, so we can't give you the details of the Palace goalscorers, though it's worth noting they have only scored four goals in matches against Wolves twice since that huge victory in 2023.

Those wins came in Division Two in 1967 (4-1), and Division One (now the Championship) in 2002 (4-2).

Crystal Palace v Wolves: What's Wolves' biggest win?

Wolves gained revenge for that defeat in 2002 later that same season, when they thrashed Palace 4-0 in the reverse fixture at Molineux, played on March 1st, 2003.

Kenny Miller scored a hat-trick as Wolves continued their promotion charge to the Premier League, netting in the 40th and 80th minutes before rounding matters off with a penalty. Dean Sturridge scored the other goal for a Wolves side that featured the likes of Paul Ince, Denis Irwin and a young Joleon Lescott.

Crystal Palace v Wolves: What is the recent history?

As mentioned, there has been little luck for Wolves in the last five times these sides have met in the Premier League, with Palace winning four of those fixtures.

These teams did meet in the third round of the FA Cup in January 2021, with Adama Traore's 35th-minute goal sending Wolves through at Molineux.

That FA Cup victory was Wolves' third straight home win against Palace, and despite that four-match losing streak between January 30th, 2021 and October 18th, 2022, Wolves reasserted their recent dominance of the fixture at Molineux when they won 2-0 in April this year.

Joachim Andersen's early own goal put them ahead, with Ruben Neves scoring a late penalty.

When it comes to the corresponding fixture at Selhurst Park last season, Eberechi Eze and Wilfried Zaha scored in a 2-0 win for Palace.

Crystal Palace v Wolves: How have they started the season?

Palace have won one of their three league games this season, having started the campaign with a 1-0 victory at newly promoted Sheffield United on the opening day. The Eagles then lost 1-0 to 10-man Arsenal at Selhurst Park, before Andersen slid in an equaliser against Brentford last time out. Palace then dispatched Plymouth Argyle 4-2 in the League Cup, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring a hat-trick.

Wolves, meanwhile, were 5-0 winners over Blackpool in the League Cup in midweek. That win followed on from O'Neil's team ending a five-game winless run in the top flight that had stretched back to April.

Sasa Kalajdzic scored his first goal for the club to claim what could be a big three points against Everton, after Wolves had lost 4-1 at home to Brighton and Hove Albion in their second outing of the campaign. Before that, they were unfortunate to lose 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. They had plenty of chances in that game and should have been awarded a late penalty, but were ultimately undone by Raphael Varane's header.

Crystal Palace v Wolves: When is it?

Palace welcome Wolves to Selhurst Park on Sunday, September 3rd for a 14:00 kick-off (UK time).

While Wolves will be wanting to push on following their first win of the season, Palace will be hoping to build on what has been an impressive start in terms of performances, but one that has not so far generated the points they have perhaps deserved.

As has been the case with most of the Premier League meetings between these teams, do not expect there to be many goals, given Wolves and Palace have both struggled in that department as of late, ignoring those huge wins in the League Cup, of course.

Indeed, Wolves were the Premier League's lowest scorers last season, netting just 31 times across their 38 games.

Everton's transfer business in recent years has arguably been some of the worst in the Premier League, with the Toffees spending a reported €118m (£102m) in the last two seasons, only to battle relegation in both.

As talks with 777 Partners to complete a takeover of the club reportedly reach an advanced stage, too, those at Goodison Park must ensure that their recruitment improves in future windows. One thing that the new owners will want to avoid is suffering transfer losses on players who arrive full of potential, before going onto become a flop to forget, and leaving for a small fee.

What's the latest Everton transfer news?

When it comes to departures throughout the summer transfer window, Alex Iwobi's exit was the biggest that Everton suffered, coming late on. The midfielder completed a move to Fulham on deadline day, leaving Sean Dyche's side short in midfield.

Even with most of the transfer windows shut, the exits are still coming, however, with another midfielder edging closer to an exit to the Turkish Super Lig, ending a mixed spell at Goodison Park in the process.

According to TeamTalk, Fenerbace are in advanced talks to sign forgotten man Andre Gomes for as little as £5m, after initially making the move to Everton for a reported £22m in the summer of 2019. If the move takes place, Everton will be looking at a loss of around 77% in what is damning evidence of just how poor they've been in the transfer market in recent years.

With the transfer window slamming shut in the Turkish Super Lig on Friday, Fenerbahce will need to act quickly if they want to complete a move, that's for sure, but it's certainly a deal that would suit all parties.

Should Everton sell Andre Gomes?

As much as Everton would be taking a loss on Gomes by selling him to Fenerbahce before the deadline, the Spaniard has become a forgotten man at Goodison Park after spending last season on loan at Lille in Ligue 1, so it is the right decision.

It briefly looked as though he could get a chance under Dyche when he was included in the squad to face Fulham on the opening day – three absences since then suggest that all parties are ready to cut ties, however.

Those in Merseyside will at least make room on their wage bill with Gomes' exit, given that he currently earned a reported £112k per week at Goodison Park.

In another world, it could be argued that Gomes could have earned a second chance in the Premier League, and grabbed it with both hands, but that doesn't look likely to happen.

According to FBref, for Lille last season, the midfielder made 8.84 progressive passes per 90, and managed five goal involvements. So, there is still a capable player in there. It just doesn't look as though Gomes will get the chance to show that again at Everton.

Manchester United suffered an agonising defeat to Arsenal in what was a match filled with late drama.

Erik ten Hag brought on winger Alejandro Garnacho with just over five minutes left, and it looked as though he scored the winner in the dying embers of the game, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside.

Mikel Arteta’s men then went and scored twice during injury time to secure a vital 3-1 win and maintain their unbeaten record in the Premier League heading into the international break.

How did Manchester United perform vs Arsenal?

The 3-1 defeat means United head into the break occupying 11th spot in the table following just two wins from four games, and they are already six points behind Manchester City, who top the pile.

The Red Devils only had two shots on target throughout the encounter while enjoying just 45% of possession and with the tie finely balanced at 1-1, Ten Hag would have seen an opportunity to secure all three points.

Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes were their better performers during the tie, with the former scoring United’s only goal while the Portuguese midfielder made four key passes during the match.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to gain anything from the match and the Dutchman will need a big response from his team against Brighton and Hove Albion when the domestic calendar resumes.

One player who should be ditched from the starting XI following that clash is Brazilian winger Antony, who once again failed to shine against the Gunners and perhaps unleashing someone else on the right wing might be a good idea.

How did Antony play vs Arsenal?

The 23-year-old was largely ineffective from the right wing as he struggled to really get involved and create any meaningful opportunity against the north Londoners.

He completed a dismal tally of just 59% of his attempted passes while failing to deliver a cross or a key pass during his 84 minutes on the pitch, indicating just how poor he was.

Indeed, the winger succeeded with just two dribbles from five attempts while failing to have a shot on target and losing possession 15 times during 84 minutes on the pitch. It's safe to say that Oleksandr Zinchenko had the better of him on Arsenal's left-hand side.

Such a lack of influence on the game was best summed up by the fact that his touch count of 49 and pass count of 16 was lower than goalkeeper Andre Onana who had 57 touches and 42 successful passes.

The £200k-per-week player has been incredibly frustrating so far this season, having failed to score or register an assist across any of his four Premier League matches and considering Ten Hag splashed out £82m for him last summer, so much more must be demanded.

He was notably criticised by broadcaster Harry Symeou following the game yesterday, along with a host of other players, saying: “Antony, anonymous again & Martial a passenger.”

In 48 matches for the Old Trafford side, Antony has scored eight times and grabbed just three assists, which works out as a £7.5m per goal contribution. This is simply not good enough and as a result, he should find himself back on the bench after the international break.

Inded, a change is surely required against Brighton in a few weeks, yet will it bring about a different result? Only time will tell.

Matt Renshaw subbed out under the concussion rule following a head knock during warm-ups; move made as a precaution, despite the blow not being too severe

Marnus Labuschagne and Charlie Hemphrey have combined to steer Queensland out of trouble on day three of the Sheffield Shield match in Wollongong.The day started poorly for the Bulls with in form opener Matt Renshaw subbed out of the game under the concussion rule following a head knock during warm-ups. He was substituted as a precaution despite the blow not being too severe.Renshaw’s replacement, Lachlan Pfeffer, and Joe Burns fell early to Trent Copeland to leave the Bulls 2 for 53 in their second innings, needing a further 102 runs to make New South Wales bat again.Labuschagne and Hemphrey then combined for a 246-run partnership that steered the Bulls to safety. Labuschagne posted his fourth first-class century and his highest score of 134 before he became Copeland’s third victim in the 81st over.Hemphrey moved to 95 not out at stumps to give the Bulls a lead of 156 runs with seven wickets in hand heading into the final day.Earlier, Michael Neser and Mark Steketee ensure the Blues lead did not blow out beyond 200. They took the last three wickets of the Blues first innings at a cost of just 20 runs. Sean Abbott failed to add to his overnight score of 79 while Peter Nevill managed just five before he was bowled by Steketee for 57.

Tottenham Hotspur's late deadline day attempts to sign Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly have taken another transfer twist.

Who will Spurs sign on deadline day?

Spurs and new manager Ange Postecoglou are reliably believed to have finally agreed a deal to sign winger Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest.

The Wales international, who has been chased by Postecoglou and chairman Daniel Levy for much of the summer transfer window, looks set to join the likes of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, young centre-back Ashley Phillips, defender Micky van de Ven, playmaker James Maddison, winger Manor Solomon and striker Alejo Veliz in signing for Tottenham.

Fabrizio Romano has even given his famous "here we go" as the north Londoners target travels to the English capital for a medical; coming as brilliant news so late in the day.

However, amid d-day links to both Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher and Bournemouth's Kelly, there is reason to believe Spurs may not be entirely done with Johnson's pending arrival.

Indeed, according to an update in the last hour from The Times and journalist Gary Jacob, Kelly continues to attract serious late interest from Spurs.

Reports today have suggested that Tottenham had a bid rejected for the defender earlier today, but despite that knock-back, Postecoglou could potentially add another defender to his ranks before the 11pm cut off.

Kelly, who started 23 league games for Bournemouth last season as they comfortably avoided relegation in the end, is currently subject to an incoming new and improved offer from Spurs.

Jacob writes, as relayed on their live blog [14:05], that the Lilywhites are "set to increase" their bid for the 24-year-old, coming after they agreed a £45m deal to sign Johnson from Forest.

Little else is said on the nature of this proposal or figures behind it, but there is reason to believe more players could come in tonight, as Spurs historically like to do late deals.

How good is Lloyd Kelly?

The centre-back ranked in Bournemouth's top three for clearances and blocks made per 90 last season, according to WhoScored; possibly highlighting why Tottenham are considering a move for him this late on in the window.

Ahead of a long season, Spurs and Postecoglou arguably need defensive depth in case of serious injuries to the likes of van de Ven or Cristian Romero.

Former Bournemouth boss Scott Parker, commenting on Kelly's "quality" ability last year, was effusive in his praise for the player during their top flight promotion push.

"I think Lloyd Kelly has got the attributes and the ability to be a top Premier League centre-half," said Parker.

"And I think we are blessed and very, very lucky to have someone of his quality, really.

"You take players like Lloyd probably for granted in the sense of he makes things look very effortless and easy.

"And when you're watching him on the eye, you put someone else in that position of a ball down the side of a defender or one in the channel and getting in a foot race, he makes it look very easy, that you probably never appreciate it.

"The standards he sets are very high as a captain of this team and he's still so young in his age that he's got a lot on him.”

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is looking to continue his trend of tying down his key players to new deals at Parkhead, according to the latest reports.

What's the latest news involving Celtic?

Last week, the Hoops took a major step forward since Rodgers returned to the helm at Parkhead in the summer after four years away from life in Glasgow, as they defeated arch-rivals Rangers 1-0 at Ibrox courtesy of a goal from Kyogo Furuhashi.

Speaking to Celtic TV cited by BBC Sport, Rodgers took immense pride in Celtic's victory, stating: "So I'm so happy for the players. I think they have been on death watch by the media for the last week or so, coming into this game. But for me, as a coach, it was about staying calm, working the players and knowing that they're going to grow and develop and this is a big part of the development – to come and win away at Ibrox."

Journalist Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT that contact has been established between Celtic and Liverpool regarding Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper Caomhin Kelleher, who has been earmarked as a potential replacement for veteran stopper Joe Hart.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed some promising news regarding one of Celtic's brightest young talents, stating on X: "EXCL: Celtic agree new deal terms with top talent Mitchel Frame, 2006 born fullback. Frame already had deal to summer 2025 but now agreed new contract to summer 2026. Several clubs in England were targeting Frame, set to put pen on paper soon with Celtic."

The Hoops are now in the midst of the international break and they will return to action on September 16th against Scottish Premiership newcomers Dundee before jetting off to Rotterdam to play Feyenoord the following week in their Champions League opener.

Is Matt O'Riley staying at Celtic?

Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph has issued an update regarding the state of play revolving around Denmark Under-21 international Matt O'Riley's future at Celtic, stating: "Celtic are expected to offer midfielder Matt O’Riley improved terms & an extension on his contract. The 22yo was the subject of a £10m bid from Leeds United. Celtic rejected it & now hope to tie him up on a new deal during this international break."

Sky Bet Championship outfit Southampton and Serie A side Bologna also showed interest in Matt O'Riley during the summer transfer window; however, it looks like he will be offered the chance to prolong his stay at Parkhead after becoming a key player north of the border, first under Ange Postecoglou and now with Rodgers at the helm.

In his time at Celtic, O'Riley has been a regular contributor on both goal and assist fronts, registering ten goals and 18 assists in 77 appearances for the Hoops across all competitions, as per Transfermarkt.

Labelled a "wonderful footballer" by Rodgers, O'Riley turned in a fantastic performance in Celtic's Glasgow Derby victory over Rangers last weekend, earning an average match rating of 7.8/10 on Sofascore.

Keeping him at Celtic will be a top priority in the coming weeks for Celtic as they look to maximise his talent and prospective sell-on value down the line.
