Christantus Uche scored a wonderful individual goal to give a much-changed Crystal Palace side the early advantage in their Conference League clash against Finnish side KuPS at Selhurst Park. Palace boss Oliver Glasner made 11 changes to the team that started against Manchester City last weekend and the additions made their mark almost immediately. Inside the first five minutes, Uche picked up the ball on the edge of the box after a neat passing move out wide.

Kjaer played for Milan between 2020 and 2024, arriving at the same time as Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The two were essential in bringing the Rossoneri back from the ruins, eventually winning the Scudetto with the team in the 2021-22 season. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Kjaer said that he's happy as Milan are 'back to being Milan'. However, when asked about why the Rossoneri struggled so much especially last season, the Dane didn't want to say more than that there have been 'too many changes'.

But Udinese midfielder Lennon Miller and Bristol City defender Ross McCrorie have withdrawn. Two midfielders have been added to Steve Clarke's squad - Rangers' Connor Barron and West Ham United's Andy Irving.

I am thinking about ourselves. We always have respect for our city rivals. We came back on Thursday - players came back good - and I am looking forward to it for our fans. I know how important it is. [It is] a really important game for us to change the dynamic and I trust the players a lot. We are going to do a good game.

West Ham United's management is bracing for a significant overhaul, with potential sales of key players, including Lucas Paqueta, to rejuvenate the squad for next season.
