Preview: Leeds United vs Everton
Kick-off in West Yorkshire is scheduled for 8pm and the match is a total sell-out. For those without a ticket, you can watch live on Sky Sports.
Ahead of kick-off, both teams will come together to pay our respects to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.
The two teams come into the game on the back of a hard-working pre-season within each camp and will now be looking for a strong start, with some fresh faces in the squads.
In pre-season, the Toffees played seven matches and had indifferent results, both within the UK and as part of the Premier League Summer Series within the USA.
The Whites went unbeaten over the summer in their matches, with three draws coming against Manchester United, Villarreal and AC Milan. In the middle of those games a productive week in Germany saw wins over Paderborn and SC Verl.
Daniel Farke's side have made eight summer additions upon their return to the top-flight and that is matched by David Moyes, who has also seen eight fresh faces announced for his squad.
In the nine games already played so far this weekend, there has been 23 goals scored. Three out of the nine games finished level, four went the way of the home side, and two saw the away team pick up the three points.
This fixture was played out on the opening day of the 2021/22 Premier League season, which saw the match end level in an entertaining 2-2 draw.

Pirates call up Bubba Chandler, baseball's top pitching prospect
PITTSBRURGH (AP) — Baseball's top pitching prospect is getting called up to the majors. The Pittsburgh Pirates have decided to promote 22-year-old right hander Bubba Chandler ahead of their game Friday against the Colorado Rockies, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the roster move was not yet official. Chandler will join a staff that already includes 2024 NL Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes. The Pirates are shuffling their pitching rotation after sending veteran left-hander Andrew Heaney to the bullpen last weekend. Chandler got off to a hot start in Triple-A this year but has stumbled lately and is currently 5-6 with a 4.05 ERA this year for Indianapolis. ___ AP MLB: Will Graves, The Associated Press

John Wall announces retirement from the NBA after 11 seasons, will join Amazon Prime Video as an analyst
Washington Wizards superstar John Wall is calling it a career. Wall announced his retirement from the NBA on Tuesday in a video thanking his fans, family and teammates for their support during his 11 years as a player. Wall said he's leaving the game with no regrets, saying, "I gave this game everything I had." Near the end of his retirement video, Wall mentioned that basketball will always be part of his life, and mentioned that "new opportunities" led him to take on the next chapter of his life. On Wednesday, NBA on Prime announced that Hall would join the team as an analyst. Amazon Prime Video will broadcast NBA games every Friday night, with additional weekly national games on the platform on Thursday and Saturday starting midseason. Wall rose to prominence as a high schooler, receiving an invite to the Reebok All-American Camp as a sophomore. He continued to show out during high school and entered college as one of the top-ranked players in the country. That ranking turned out to be accurate. Wall spent just one season at the University of Kentucky before going pro. He entered the 2010 NBA Draft, where the Wizards made him the No. 1 overall pick. He more than lived up to that promise early in his career. Wall averaged 16.4 points as a rookie, finishing second in the Rookie of the Year award voting. He put up similar production in each of his next two seasons before taking a step forward in his fourth year. Wall averaged 19.3 points and 8.8 assists during the 2013-14 NBA season, earning his first All-Star appearance. It was his first of five straight appearances in the All-Star Game. Wall also earned recognition for his defense during the 2014-15 season, making second-team All-Defense. He notched a seventh-place finish in the MVP voting during the 2016-17 season after averaging a career-high 23.1 points and 10.7 assists. He was off to a similarly strong start during the 2018-19 season before injuries struck. Wall was limited to just 32 games that season. During the offseason, Wall fell at home, rupturing his Achilles. He missed the entire 2019-20 NBA season recovering. He returned to action with the Houston Rockets in 2020-21, and still produced strong numbers before again missing time due to injuries. The Rockets, intent on developing younger players, reached an agreement with Wall in which the veteran would not play for the team. Both sides eventually settled on a buyout, but Wall did not play the entire year. Wall signed with the Los Angeles Clippers ahead of the 2022-23 NBA season. He averaged 11.4 points in 34 games before he was traded back to the Rockets and waived three days later. Prior to his injuries, Wall was one of the league's premier players. He had incredible speed and court vision and looked capable of carrying the Wizards to great things. But injuries cut his prime short and — eventually — sapped Wall's effectiveness.

Galatasaray negotiates the signing of Manuel Akanji
If the deal goes through, it would be a huge transfer coup in Turkey. Galatasaray negotiates the signing of Manuel Akanji According to L'Équipe, Galatasaray has opened talks to sign Manuel Akanji (30), the Manchester City centre-back. The Istanbul club's management has already submitted a contract offer to the Swiss international. His agent is expected to travel to Istanbul soon to continue negotiations. Should a personal agreement be reached, the Turkish side will then need to negotiate directly with the Cityzens to finalize the terms of the transfer. Under contract until 2027, Akanji has played 136 official matches for City, but was not included in the squad for the opening Premier League fixture this season.
