Was Calvert-Lewin signed in time to play on Monday?
A goal is almost inevitable if so

Calvert-Lewin statistically one of league's worst finisherspublished at 14:29 British Summer Time

Calvert-Lewin's signing is a fascinating one for Leeds. The injury-plagued Patrick Bamford failed to start a Championship match last season, making 17 appearances as a substitute, and in Calvert-Lewin Leeds have recruited a similar profile of player with a similarly questionable fitness record.

The former England international missed three months of last season and has not scored more than seven Premier League goals in any of the last four campaigns. Statistically, Calvert-Lewin can be considered the worst finisher of any forward in the top flight: since the start of 2022-23, he’s scored just 12 goals in total from an xG of 25.7 – the biggest underperformance of any player during this period (-13.7). Darwin Nunez is second on this list at -8.5.

However, the fact that Calvert-Lewin was offered a new deal by Everton shows he retains value as an effective lone target-man and he is capable of occupying defenders – particularly with Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite injured. The Toffees have won just three of 13 Premier League fixtures (D3, L7) without Branthwaite starting since his debut in 2022-23.
 
The Beeb...

Leeds United have confirmed the signing of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer.

The former Everton man scored 57 goals in 239 Premier League appearances and has signed a three-year deal at Elland Road.

He is the club's eighth arrival since returning to the top flight and could make his debut against his old club on Monday night.
 

We should be grateful we get the chance to play the colossus of Leeds Utd. Apparently the biggest club in the world with a fanatical support unequalled.
I do however recall in the 70’s when they regularly forgot to travel to Goodison for some reason.
I travelled to Goodison in 70s . Horrible experience. Once I managed to get to the Everton Supporters club , I was treated well . I don't think the Park End had any segregation. One year sussed out on Lime St Station. [Poor language removed] mate had a Leeds badge on. My Evertonian brother still sings some song about Leeds fans having bobbly hats and loads of scarfs.

Doesn't sound like they know as well
