Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler on team news: "Adam [Webster] will be back, hopefully Jack [Hinshelwood] is close. I think the rest will stay the same."

Hurzeler also quelled hopes that Ferdi Kadioglu could be close to a return, saying "I think so" when asked if he faces a prolonged period out injured.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler on his side's form: "I think you can't compare the situations in football because they're so different, things happen because of different reasons but in the end you have the experience and this gives you help and orientation on how to behave in these situations, how to come back to the results.

"We just try to continue our work because we think we are on the right way, we are able to beat everyone, we showed it in the last games that despite the bad results, we had some really good performances, that's what I always say - trust the process. We are on the right way."

Brighton are winless in seven games, stretching back to their 2-1 victory at Bournemouth on 23 November.

Fabian Hurzeler's side picked up just four points in December, losing twice and drawing their other four games in the Premier League.

They are 10th in the table, with 27 points from their 19 matches, and face second-placed Arsenal in the evening kick-off on Saturday.

Let's hear what Hurzeler has had to say about the task facing his Brighton side this weekend...

A warm welcome to anyone who has had the luxury of a lie-in today, especially our readers in Scotland, where there is an extra Bank Holiday.

That can only mean one thing - the traditional Old Firm derby.

Rangers host Celtic from 15:00 GMT and we will have all the build-up ahead of that one.

So what else is coming up today?

Well, we have news to bring you from a handful of Premier League news conferences - Brighton will be first up, we will hear from manager Fabian Hurzeler next.

We will also take a closer look at Arsenal's title challenge and delve deeper into those transfer stories, including the deals that have already been completed and those that are bubbling under.

The Guardian

We end our round-up of today's national newspapers with the Guardian, which reports that Leicester City face a nervous wait to discover whether they will be charged by the Premier League with breaching profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) for a second successive season.

The report states that Leicester had to submit their accounts for the 2023-24 season on 31 December and will be told by 13 January whether they have breached PSR.

The i has a story on comments made by Marcus Rashford on his Instagram page in response to rumours that he had met with a leading sports agency to try to hasten a move away from Manchester United.

Rashford wrote: "Been a lot of false stories written over the past few weeks, but guys this is getting ridiculous - never met with any agency and don't have any plans to..."

The Daily Express

The Express leads with a story on Manchester United's pursuit of Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres.

It reports that manager Ruben Amorim has told Old Trafford bosses that he cannot wait until the summer and needs to link back up with the £80m-rated Sweden striker in January following their successful spell together in Portugal.

The Daily Telegraph

The Telegraph has added a potential fee to its report on Real Madrid's interest in Trent Alexander-Arnold, saying that the La Liga champions are ready to table a formal £20m bid for the Liverpool defender.

But the report adds that the Premier League leaders are adamant their vice-captain will not leave this month, despite the fact they could lose him on a free transfer in the summer.

The Telegraph also reports that Manchester United's £900m kit deal with Adidas could be terminated if they are relegated.

The Times

The story surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold's potential move from Liverpool to Read Madrid has moved into a new phase following the opening of the January transfer window.

The England full-back, who is out of contract in the summer, is now free to sign a pre-contract agreement with non-English clubs, with a view to completing a free transfer in the summer.

But it seems that the European champions are keen to move sooner. Reports suggest Liverpool have already turned down one offer to sell Alexander-Arnold in January, but the Times reports that Real are now considering making a second approach.

Real Madrid's pursuit of Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to be a hot topic at the start of this transfer window, with the England full-back out of contract in the summer.

There is also Spanish interest in Reds forward Luis Diaz in today's BBC Sport gossip column, which also features stories on Manchester United's Marcus Rashford and Sporting's in-demand Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres.

Check out this post for a full rundown of today's main transfer stories.

We will go through the main headlines in today's national newspapers next and will take a closer look at the stars who could be on the move in January a little later on.

The transfer window in the top-flight in France and Germany - Bundesliga and Ligue 1 - also opened on New Year's Day, while it opens in LaLiga, Serie A and Portugal's Primeira Liga from today.

It will close for most of the major European leagues on the same day - Monday, 3 February - but the exact times vary.

Turkey's Super Lig opens on Monday, 13 January, and stays open until Tuesday, 11 February. While clubs in Saudi Arabia can only do business from 1 January to 31 January.

The transfer window opened on Wednesday, January 1, meaning that Premier League clubs can now sign new players.

Just to confuse you, it will remain open into next month, eventually closing at 23:00 GMT on Monday, 3 February.

Keep your thoughts coming on whether Arsenal can challenge Liverpool for the Premier League title.

And don't forget that we also want to know your wish list for the January transfer window - the positions your club needs to bolster, the players you would like them to bring in and the stars you are desperate to keep.

Tim, Southport: In answer to the question posed at 08:04 Jesus has never been the answer to anything, so I'm in the Arsenal need a striker camp...again. Liverpool will not drop six points unless they lose Salah and Van Dijk.
