News about Oliver Glasner

DOMINIC KING AT THE CITY GROUND: Dean Henderson gripped his head, in that universal reaction of despair. So, too, 50 yards away, did his manager Oliver Glasner, screeching at the frustrating way a plan had come unstuck. None of this mattered to Chris Wood, mind you. Despair in one set of ranks can only mean joy in another and off went the Nerw Zealand striker, sucking his thumb in delight, as he received an unexpected gift to help end a hoodoo. Remarkably, it had been 203 days since Nottingham Forest had won at The City Ground but that unwanted sequence is now at an end thanks to shot from Wood that Henderson handled as if it was a grenade without a pin. There would be no comeback for Crystal Palace.

Southampton's Russell Martin has shortened to a 4/5 favourite with Sky Bet to be the first Premier League manager sacked this season. Southampton suffered their seventh loss of the season over the weekend - going down 3-2 at the hands of fellow newly-promoted side Leicester City. Russell has overtaken Erik ten Hag as the best-backed in the market - with the Manchester United manager widening from a very short 4/9 to an 11/4 second-favourite following the Red Devils' 2-1 win over Brentford Saturday. For those after an outsider in the market, Wolves' Gary O'Neil, West Ham's Julen Lopetegui and Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner round out the five favourites in the market at 4/1, 9/1 and 16/1 respectively.

The Premier League is back this weekend after the second international break of the season and we're straight into a mouthwatering gameweek of fixtures. Chelsea face a huge test of the Enzo Maresca project on Sunday as they travel to Liverpool in what is the standout game of the weekend, while the under-fire Erik ten Hag will be desperate for a victory against Brentford. Meanwhile, the likes of Ipswich, Southampton, Wolves and Crystal Palace are all still searching for their first win of the campaign, with Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool hoping to keep to the pace at the top of the table.

The international break is here once more to bring a halt to what has been a pulsating opening to the Premier League campaign. It's fair to say all 20 teams have endured varying degrees of success in the first two months - but here, Mail Sport have compiled report cards for each of the teams after seven matches of top-flight action.

MARTIN KEOWN: Crystal Palace finished last season as one of the Premier League's form teams under new boss Oliver Glasner. Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze were firing at the top end of the pitch while Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen formed an impressive backbone in defence. Those four were the jewels in Palace's crown. Palace rejected close to £70million from Newcastle for Guehi in the summer but lost Olise to Bayern Munich for around £50m after the German giants triggered his release clause.

SAMI MOKBEL: Back at the ranch, Arsenal's squad watched 'the anger' unfold with a wry smile. Their phones have pinged regularly with messages, many of which have made similar observations about the strength of Manchester City's reaction to Sunday's intense 2-2 draw. Now that the dust has settled, Mail Sport can bring you Arsenal players' side of the story - their sense that the noise that emanated from the City camp in the aftermath of the Battle of the Etihad points towards a team that is 'rattled'.

Mail Sport has rounded up a pick of the best Premier League youngsters that are set to star in the Carabao Cup as the third-round gets underway with plenty of rising stars hoping for a chance. Manchester United host League One Barnsley on Tuesday evening, Spurs make the trip to Coventry and plenty other ties have academy stars believing this could be their moment.

JACK GAUGHAN: Adam Wharton has withdrawn from England Under-21 duty amid ongoing fitness problems that have hampered his season with Oliver Glasner's (inset) side. The 20-year-old was a surprise omission from Lee Carsley's first England squad but did receive an Under-21 call-up by interim coach Ben Futcher.

KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Glanser's video nasty helped Crystal Palace come from behind to frustrate Chelsea, with the Austrian showing his players clips of where they were going wrong during the half-time break at Stamford Bridge. Palace boss Glasner leaned on his analysts to come up with the footage so that he could correct their mistakes before the second half. Palace posed much more of a threat after that video session.

Wolves have announced the signing of the former Crystal Palace and Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. The 31-year-old has agreed to a four-year contract after spending the last two seasons at Selhurst Park. Mail Sport previously reported that Johnstone was on Wolves' radar after losing his regular place on the pitch to Dean Henderson following the arrival of Oliver Glasner.

Wolves are close to agreeing a £10million deal for Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, and are set to offer him a four-year deal.  The England international has fallen down the pecking order at Selhurst Park since the arrival of Oliver Glasner, with Dean Henderson taking his No 1 jersey and spot in the side.  Henderson wore No 30 last season following his £15m move from Nottingham Forest but ended the campaign as the first-choice stopper at Selhurst Park.

Marc Guehi was named in the Crystal Palace starting lineup for the 4-0 win at home to Norwich in the Carabao Cup - despite being close to a £70million move to Newcastle. Guehi, who captained Palace for the match and played the whole 90 minutes, has been heavily linked with a switch away from the club this summer and is seemingly on the verge of leaving before the transfer deadline. However, the deal has yet to be finalised and Oliver Glasner selected the England international in his starting XI for the clash with the Championship side.

The start of the new fantasy season has seen significant activity in the transfer market for FPL Gameweek 2, as managers look to repair any early errors made in their squad selection.  Deciding whether to remain patient and bank a transfer or make early moves to avoid losing squad value is a tricky conundrum at the start of the season, not to mention who to target from the glut of options available.  With that in mind, Fantasy Football Hub expert Holly Shand takes a look at the top transfer targets from a series of different categories ahead of Gameweek 2, according to AI predicted points.

SIMON JONES: Crystal Palace have made a £12million offer for Wolfsburg defender Maxence Lacroix and bid for Benfica centre-back Tomas Araujo. The moves for the pair come amid a summer of change within the defensive ranks at Selhurst Park. Palace have agreed to sell Joachim Andersen to Fulham for £30m and expect a new offer from Newcastle for Marc Guehi .

Eze thought he had put Palace ahead in the first half when his long-range strike deceived Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken at his near post. But Barrott blew his whistle for a foul in the box before the ball hit the net , with the official deeming Will Hughes had pushed defender Nathan Collins to the floor. Replays showed there was minimal, if any, contact from Hughes. There was a brief VAR check but, because Barrott had blown his whistle before the ball had crossed the line, it was not possible to overturn the decision.

SAMI MOKBEL: The Eagles' form improved dramatically last season when Oliver Glasner took the reigns in February, and it is expected that the club will again look to kick on this term. Palace value Andersen (left), 28, at £40m. The defender played for the club on loan from Lyon in the 2020-21 season, before joining Palace on a permanent deal that summer and going onto form a partnership with fellow centre back Marc Guehi.

EXCLUSIVE BY SAMI MOKBEL: Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has been stripped of his No 1 jersey ahead of the Premier League kick-off. Dean Henderson, who wore the No 30 last season, is set to be handed the coveted shirt in a clear indication that he will start the season as the team's first choice keeper. Johnstone, who spent the majority of last season as the Eagles' preferred goalkeeper, was informed of the news on Monday.

SAMI MOKBEL: Newcastle have seen their latest offer for Marc Guehi turned down by Crystal Palace. Discussions are ongoing to find a positive outcome to the protracted talks, but the St James' Park club have fallen short with a recent offer, believed to be their second, for the centre back. Palace, who are exploring a return to the club for legend Wilfried Zaha, value Guehi at a minimum £65million and do not feel Newcastle's improved deal is enough to part with the England star.

Newcastle are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Guehi was a consistently strong performer in a Palace side that looked to be in danger of a relegation battle last season before Oliver Glasner's arrival at the club. The 24-year-old captained the side on occasion and recovered from a knee injury the curtailed much of the latter part of his campaign to be named in Gareth Southgate's side for Euro 2024.

Crystal Palace have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Marseille's Senegalese winger, Ismaila Sarr, as its understood the French club are open to a sale, in order to fund their transfer target.  The French side would use funds from the sale to step up their pursuit of Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah, after they wrapped up their deal for Tottenham midfielder, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, on Monday. Sarr has already come tantalisingly to joining Crystal Palace, and its believed head coach, Oliver Glasner, is keen to wrap-up a deal for the 26-year-old forward before the season starts.

It's a little less than a month until the new Premier League season kicks off on August 16 and clubs around England will be looking to get their preparations sorted in time for the 2024-25 season. But a lot is set to happen between now and the first game of the season. While the dust is only just settling on what was an enthralling European Championship, managers, coaches and players have a lot to prepare for, with teams also right in the thick of a summer transfer window, which is yet to really catch fire. Among that, teams will be setting off on pre-season tours to Asia, America and southern Europe, with Premier League clubs set to clock up approximately 190,593 miles of travel (as the crow flies) travelling between games during the off-season.

Crystal Palace are to set to launch a bid for Arsenal 's forgotten man, as the Eagles look to pip London rivals Fulham to his signature. The Cottagers had a £30m bid for the midfielder rejected earlier this week, and now according to Fabrizio Romano, Palace are set to test the Gunners resolve by making a move for the 23-year-old. The player is under contract at the Emirates Stadium until June 2026, but is keen to find first-team football and that could mean leaving North London. Eagles boss Oliver Glasner is a big fan of the midfield star , which is why Palace will see if they can tempt him to Selhurst Park. He has seen his first team opportunities dwindle after a frustrating couple of seasons dogged by groin and knee injuries, but Emile Smith-Rowe is already in pre-season training with the Gunners.

The European Championship may have only finished four days ago - which feels strange - it's already time to look ahead to the Premier League season to come.  Granted we have just watched the majority of the leading names in the top-flight battle it out in either the Euros or Copa America, but in just 32 short days the Premier League will be back.  It feels like forever since Manchester City snatched a record fourth crown on the bounce from the clutching fingers of Arsenal on the final day, and we lost all three newly-promoted sides Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton.
