Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Jurrien Timber's comeback from a knee injury: "Too soon for him [to play against Wolves]. He's going to continue to play for the Under-23s. He looked good in training. He now needs to make that step and the certainty to go. The rest [of the players] are all good."

More from Wolves manager Gary O'Neil on scrapping FA Cup replays: "I do think it’s a shame that we’ve had to go that way. It could work both ways for the lower league teams as well I guess where if you’re drawing at home to a big club and you’re in a lower league, you’d rather play extra time and penalties, I guess because you have more chance of winning that at home than you would if you’re drawing 1-1 with Manchester City. You’d rather carry on for 30 minutes at home.

"From a financial point of view, I understand that clubs lower down the ladder would benefit greatly from the extra games so I think for everything there’s always a balance. We can see how it goes and judge it once it’s in."

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta reflects on the last week: "As an experience, the best one. I am now fully focused on the times ahead of us. We are now behind Manchester City and will give it a good go. The context is clear. If we we win we are top of the league."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking ahead of Sunday's match at Fulham: "There are moments when we should have won that we didn't, and we should have done that.

"It is never about how many points you get, it's about how you deal with them. That's not the big problem.

"We will find a way to be positive, to see the chance in front of us and then we have to play an opponent. That's the challenge in football - we can prepare for ourselves but there is always an opponent as well.

"We made it a bit too easy now for three teams in a row and we want to change that."

Manchester United manager Marc Skinner refused to be drawn on comparisons with Sir Alex Ferguson at his news conference this morning.

Skinner has received major criticism from sections of the United fans for their disappointing season - which sees them unlikely to qualify for the Women's Champions League - but has guided them to a second successive Women's FA Cup final after they beat Chelsea last weekend.

Ferguson's great reign at United was kick-started by winning the FA Cup in his third season, amid calls from the fans for him to be sacked. So, does Skinner see any comparison?

"The comparison to the great person you mentioned is unparalleled," Skinner said.

"I don't feel vindicated at all, I don't harp on about those things (fan criticism). I just try to have my team put in the best performances for Man United. If your essence is pure and you're trying to put in your best performances, that's enough."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking about the Premier League title race: "That is not in our hands. It is not about that.

"Can City win every game they have left? Yeah, that has happened quite frequently but they have a lot of games and difficult opponents as well.

"We don't think about them. It's just can we get back to winning games again?

"We had a lot of chances and missed but it's better than not having chances at all. I am absolutely convinced we can get back to winning ways."

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, an Arsenal fan, said the Football Association has made the "wrong decision" in deciding to scrap replays in the FA Cup.

"Traditionally they have been part of the game. The FA Cup great leveller, the chance to play a team from outside your own division," he said.

"It's part of the tradition of the FA Cup but equally importantly for smaller clubs it’s a real revenue raiser.

"Small clubs are really struggling financially, they need that revenue, they deserve that revenue. "If they’ve gone far enough to get a replay they should have their replay."

We've now got more reaction on FA Cup replays being scrapped, with Downing Street praising the “David and Goliath fixtures” as part of the “magic” of the FA Cup.

“David and Goliath fixtures are a part of the magic of the cup and we know that replays have been a welcome source of income for smaller clubs throughout the years,” the Prime Minister’s deputy spokesperson said today.

Downing Street added it was a decision for the footballing authorities “but clearly it is incumbent on the FA and Premier League to explain this decision and why it is in the interest of fans.”

Asked whether it would be a matter for the football regulator, the Prime Minister’s deputy spokesperson said: “I don’t think the regulator will have a role in the sporting calendar. This one is one for the football authorities. You’ll know that we take supporting grassroots football and clubs seriously and that’s why we’ve taken forward the work that we are.”

Coventry are not in the greatest form in the Championship, with three defeats in their past four games, but I am a romantic at heart and I believe in fairytales too.

It is written in the stars that Sky Blues boss Mark Robins wins this tie, against his former club.

My old Norwich team-mate famously scored an FA Cup third-round winner for Manchester United in 1990 that saved Sir Alex Ferguson's job, but now I think he will push Erik ten Hag closer to the exit door.

Some United fans get very angry on social media whenever I predict they will lose, like last week when I thought Bournemouth would beat them.

But, while I did not get the result right on that occasion, another weak United performance in their 2-2 draw validated everything I said about them.

United should be beating Coventry comfortably but they have lacked consistency all season and I don't have faith in them to suddenly find it now.

So, let me dream a little here. I've got great memories of the 1987 final, when Keith Houchen's diving header helped Coventry upset Tottenham and lift the FA Cup, and what a day it would be for them if they win.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Coventry City boss Mark Robins insists the Sky Blues cannot take Manchester United's failings for granted.

The former striker scored 17 goals in 71 appearances for United and won the FA Cup in 1990. His third-round winner against Nottingham Forest sparked that cup run, a goal which is widely credited with keeping Sir Alex Ferguson in a job.

United have struggled under Erik ten Hag this season, sitting seventh in the Premier League with the FA Cup their last hope of salvaging success.

Robins said: "We know it’s a really difficult challenge. I hear people saying Manchester United are this or that. The truth is they have top players. We have got to be able to deal with the situation and the threat they pose.

"You have to go into this game understanding what the threats are. For people who are talking about United conceding a lot of shots, you are talking about a team which is full of talented top players.

"Most of them are international players, if not all of them, with a lot of really positive attributes. We know they are favourites to win this game by a million miles.

"We have to understand what this game is going to be, what the occasion is and the fact there shouldn’t be any fear.

"Manchester United are the biggest club in the world, we know they have got top talents. If you cannot go and enjoy that, you shouldn’t be playing."

In fairness to Erik ten Hag, the Manchester United manager doesn't duck questions in his news conferences.

It would have been easy to swerve the Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho issues. But he answered both, revealing the apology from Garnacho and the wider point on Sancho, which is that he has never apologised for his social media riposte to his manager's criticism of his training performances.

Whether it is enough to keep Ten Hag in a job is debatable. But as a journalist, it is certainly welcome.

Finally from Erik ten Hag, here's the Manchester United boss on whether winning the FA Cup would salvage United's season: "You have to always see the circumstances we have to face, but I'm not thinking in this moment about this. I'm thinking about Sunday, about how we go to beat Coventry City. It's all about this and the rest is for later. We are planning for next season but for now it's all about Sunday.

"Last season was last season. We want to achieve every season, we want to win trophies, we have a big opportunity because we are in a semi-final but it's a huge challenge. We know all the problems and always when you have so many problems you have to find solutions, so on Sunday we will find solutions and we want to go into the final."

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag on the threat posed by Coventry: "We did our job. We are prepared so we know their team, know how they play, know the individual abilities of the players and know the manager. He is a former United player, a striker, he's doing a fantastic job over there so we know a lot about them.

"Of course they are dangerous, they are in the semi-final, then it's logical. Last season they were not far away from promotion to the Premier League so they're doing a fantastic job over there. We have seen the game against Wolves in the quarter-final, the mentality is fabulous. We have to play to our best levels."

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag on Casemiro's form this season after Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp said his performance against Bournemouth was like he was playing in Soccer Aid, external: "I think we needed the six (holding midfielder) when I arrived here and last season Casemiro was fantastic. I don't think he ever scored so many goals as well but as a six, a holding midfielder, a strategist, he was so important for the team.

"This season he struggled with a bad injury he's never had in his career but he is such a winner, all his career he's won. Everywhere he goes, there will be success, and I trust he will give his success. I know he will need games, he will be better, and I'm very confident about him. He is a fighter, that's why he's won big trophies. He's a very important player and will give us success."

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag provides an update on the availability of players to face Coventry at Wembley: "We have some problems. Harry [Maguire] had a small injury so he hasn't trained so far this week, but now he is back on the pitch. We expect him back in team training today. He will be available for Sunday, I hope.

"Antony and Scott McTominay I expect them to be back. Scott didn't train all week, partially on Wednesday. Today I expect him full [training]. Antony did train all week."

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag on the decision to scrap FA Cup replays: "It's very sad for the British football culture but I also think it is also inevitable, and no-one can do anything for it. It's due to the overload in the schedule, and that's dictated by Fifa and Uefa.

"We are a big competition, and we have a big influence and a big impact, but there are so many other countries and there is so much overload on the players and it has to stop. As I said, I feel really sorry and sad for the clubs in England but, for top players, we have to make some space in the schedule."

Coventry boss Mark Robins has called the decision to scrap FA Cup replays a 'kick in the teeth' for clubs outside the Premier League.

The Championship club is preparing for just the second FA Cup semi-final in its history. The Sky Blues needed a fourth-round replay to beat Sheffield Wednesday and Robins believes the influence of the pyramid below the top flight has to be respected.

"It does kick everyone in the teeth below that level," he said. "There’s nothing we can do about it, apart from voice our concerns. Maybe there is a re-think for those clubs but it’s really difficult for them to come to terms with.

"It’s difficult because you look at it and those clubs, the grassroots, the EFL and below are all part of the pyramid which needs to feed each other - and eventually feeds the Premier League.

"There are a lot of players who come out from academies from Premier League teams who get the game time, understanding, experience (in the EFL) and then they go back and make it at the clubs. Sometimes they get into the international teams. We've all played our part in developing them and that should never be underestimated or forgotten about.

"There are other things which could have happened like replays up until the third round which doesn't impact on the bigger clubs."

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag on Jadon Sancho's form for Borussia Dortmund: "Of course, I follow international football and follow the players on loan at other clubs. It was a fantastic game, Dortmund against Atletico Madrid. A great performance from Dortmund and also for Jadon it's good news. He made his contribution to the result for Dortmund."

When asked if anything had changed about Sancho's future at Old Trafford, Ten Hag said: "No, but we know Jadon Sancho is a fantastic football player, so that is not a surprise for us. That is not the issue."

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag on an apology from Alejandro Garnacho for liking a social media post which criticised his half-time substitution at Bournemouth: "Alejandro is a young player, has to learn a lot. He apologised for it and after that we move on."
