Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim on his squad rotation: "In this moment it's not rotation to see the players and prepare the future, it's simply to not have injuries. Matthijis de Ligt is sick, Harry Maguire did 90 minutes against City, he cannot play three days before because he played 90 minutes for three months.

"Kobbie Mainoo played, he returned from injury so I have to think if he is ready to cope with both games, so sometimes I have to play two games at the same moment. Rasmus [Hojlund] played two games, we needed fresh legs so we are trying to address everything. I just want to win games because I know that there is a long term project and we are focused on that.

"I also know that big clubs don't have a lot of time and you have to win games so I have a clear idea, the responsibility that I have here, but I'm trying to manage this team to not have injuries, if we have injuries it's a massive problem in trying to win games and manage all the players so I'm not rotating to see the future, I just want to win games and not have injuries. If we have injuries it's a big problem."

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim on dropped forward Marcus Rashford: “Some guys have a big responsibility here because they have been here for a long time,” he said.

“If you have big talents, we need big performance, big responsibility, big engagement to push everybody forward in this moment.

“This is maybe one of the lowest moments in our club. We have to face it and be strong.”

On solving the club's issues: “If I knew, I would solve all the problems of this club, even this.

“I know what I am going to do. That is so clear for me. I will not say I am feel relaxed because I’m really frustrated. It’s a very difficult moment but we will solve problems step by step and find answers for everything.”

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca on the Premier League title race: "It's almost halfway so the table reflects the teams and where they are. Liverpool are doing fantastic since the first day. The squad already live that kind of moment, it's important. We are happy to be where we are in this moment.

"I think Manchester City in the end will be there. They are living something that probably never happened before. They have a new injury at the end of every game. It is a very bad situation."

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy on Liverpool: "It’s clear who the dominant force are in this game. I know how Arne wants to make his teams play. He’s got it right straight away. They are the dominant force also in the Champions League.

"The streak is remarkable. We have to be very compact, we have to be ready to know what we’re facing. We have to be ready to play too. It will be a great task but it’s a great chance to develop in all areas in the game, and that will help us towards the finish line."

"The reason why is this one and this one and this one. It is about us, about everyone. The guys are running more than ever. Many little details and big details make us not as good as we were."

It's one win in 12 for Manchester City now.

We have gone well beyond the point where City's form was being debated in terms of whether it is a crisis or not.

However, if there was a point that offers a reset, this is it.

Everton at home, Leicester away and West Ham would normally be the kind of games City would sweep aside with ease.

It won't be like that now. But it does create a chance for City to find some consistency and start to move forward again.

Pep Guardiola is due to speak to the media shortly.
