West Ham United

On West Ham's current four-game winless run in the Premier League, which has included draws against Tottenham, Aston Villa and Burnley, as well as a 4-3 defeat at Newcastle, manager David Moyes added: "We're happy. We'd like to be a bit higher up in the table, but things have gone against us in recent weeks and we have to work with that."

Now let's hear from West Ham manager David Moyes, whose side are seventh in the Premier League, on the club's target of qualifying for Europe for a fourth consecutive season under his leadership: "They have to keep focused and try to win every game one at a time.

"For most of the season we've been in the top eight or nine, which is a good achievement. We've had a great run in Europe again, so we want to try to keep positive."

Wolves host West Ham at Molineux, where the fate of their surprise European challenge is likely to be decided.

Five of their final eight games are at home where, until February, they had only lost twice.

Successive defeats to Manchester United and Brentford threatened to derail a top-seven charge but Gary O’Neil’s side have shown impressive resilience in the face of some crucial injuries.

Matheus Cunha returned, weeks ahead of schedule, after a hamstring problem as a substitute in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Burnley while Hwang Hee-chan has an outside chance of being fit to face the Hammers following his own hamstring injury.

Victory would take Wolves, who sit 10th, above their seventh-placed visitors on goal difference and reignite their hopes of a return to European competition for the first time since 2020.

Jonathan Kleiman: The biggest issue - Man U are mentally weak under ETH. Crumble easily to massive defeats in big games & unable to see out matches when ahead with 2 mins to go. Liverpool FA Cup doesn't paint over the cracks of past 2 games and multiple heavy defeats before it.

BBC Radio 5 Live

Chelsea fan Tom Overend, who was at last night's game, said: "I’ve never seen a game like that in my life. I thought Chelsea looked completely out of ideas. I didn’t see where an equaliser was going to come from - forget two goals [to win it]. Somehow, football can deliver that for you."

Newcastle United

Finally from Eddie Howe. the Newcastle manager on what it would mean to qualify for Europe again, given the number of injuries at the club this season: "It is difficult to transport myself to the future to talk about something as if it has already happened - I can't do that. But I have seen two really good performances in our last two matches and we have looked much more like our old selves.

"I am really pleased with the last two games. Now we need consistency. That is what I want to see between now and the end of the season, and we have got eight games to show it."

Newcastle United

Newcastle have won their last four games against Fulham, but are winless in all four away matches at London clubs this term.

They go into Saturday's trip to Craven Cottage on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Everton in midweek, which followed a 4-3 win over West Ham.

They are now eighth in the table, just a point behind West Ham in seventh.

But with a couple of Luton players having returned to fitness, the Magpies now top a Premier League table of a different kind - injuries. They now have 12 players sidelined while Luton have 11 out.

Newcastle United

Eddie Howe has been speaking about the form of Alexander Isak and also gave an update on fellow striker Callum Wilson, who has not played since having surgery on a , externalchest muscle injury picked up in February's win over Nottingham Forest.

On Isak, who has scored 19 goals in all competitions this season and three in his last two league games, Howe said: "Isak's form has given us a massive lift. It's always the way when you have got any attacking player on form, it transfers through the team. He is in a really good place, both mentally and physically. It is great to see the form he is in. The team has given him the platform to show his talent, but I think he can get even better and there is more to come from him."

On Wilson's recovery: "Callum is doing the hard yards. He is running hard. It is an upper limb injury so he can keep fit and when he is ready to come back I think he will be looking good."

Newcastle United

More from Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on juggling a squad hit by injuries: "The difficult thing is when you are stretched and lose a couple more, then you become even more stretched. When you get to a tipping point it is very difficult to control that.

"You don't have the flexibility to protect players and we have been in that situation for months. That is where we are currently, especially with our defenders."

Newcastle United

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said that he "feels" for defender Jamaal Lascelles as he faces up to nine months out with an ACL injury, picked up following a collision with West Ham striker Michail Antonio in their recent 4-3 victory.

"It's big blow for us and Jamaal," said Howe. "He's been excellent this season. Behind the scenes he's been a real leader for our team. I feel for him because he's been in really good shape this year and looked really good.

"He's come together with Antonio and unfortunately ended up with a serious injury. Initially it's always difficult to accept. One minute you're in the team, the next you've got a long period of rehab. He'll have low moments during that long stretch but he's got a good team of people around him and Sven [Botman], who is in a very similar position."

Newcastle United

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has started his news conference with updates on injuries to full-back Tino Livramento and winger Miguel Almiron, who were both forced off against West Ham last weekend. Howe expects both to be out for about a month.

"Tino's was quite obvious when you looked back at the footage," he said. "[It was] strange really as the ball hits his ankle before it hits the floor. Thankfully, it's not as serious as it could have been. He could be back quite quickly.

"Miggy tweaked his knee slightly. Again, it's not a serious injury but enough to keep him out."

Howe added that he expects Lewis Hall to return to training before Saturday's match after being substituted in the midweek draw at home to Everton with "fatigue".

Arsenal

Finally from Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal boss was asked whether he watched the Liverpool game last night: "I was watching a bit of both and stayed up until late because the Chelsea v Manchester United game was brilliant.

"It’s a joy what level the league is and the quality of the players it has."

Arsenal

On whether he will watch all of Manchester City's and Liverpool's games until the end of the season, Mikel Arteta said: "I have to feel it because every game will be different.

"My wife and kids will have a big say on that too! My youngest might want to play Lego or play football in the garden with me. I will try to watch the majority of the games, though, for sure."

Arsenal

On Wednesday's win over Luton Town, Mikel Arteta said: "I was very pleased with the result and performance.

"When you make changes there is always a possibility [of losing], but the boys were really good.

"[Emile] Smith Rowe was really strong in the game and showed he is one great player when he is fit and playing at this level."

Arsenal

On opponents Brighton and their manager Roberto de Zerbi, Mikel Arteta said: "I am very impressed with him. He is a top manager with great staff.

"What they have done on the pitch deserves credit and the way they have ran the club. They are fighting with the top clubs and have done a magnificent job. De Zerbi's football makes life very difficult for the opponent and they play attractive football.

"We have to select our best line-up. We have to train and get ready to win again. Brighton will be tough, they play well, but we have to be better than them."

Arsenal

On Kai Havertz, Mikel Arteta said: "I am very pleased with him. He has incredible qualities in the attacking phase as well as in link-up play.

"His contribution defensively is outstanding with the work rate he puts into the team. He has more games to come and he will be trying to improve his numbers. It is just his first season for us and has been moving in different positions. He is very intelligent."

On Thomas Partey saying 'his head is with Arsenal,' despite speculation of a move away this summer: "He better have his head here because that is what we expect! And we need him. He is a top player and you can see the impact he can have on games."

There was a hugely concerning familiarity about last night's drama at Stamford Bridge for Manchester United fans.

In November, needing a win to give themselves a decent chance of progressing to the Champions League knock-out stage, United went 2-0 up at FC Copenhagen, then got pegged back following Marcus Rashford's dismissal, before getting themselves ahead again midway through the second half.

As with last night, United appeared comfortable.

As with last night, the home side equalised from almost nothing and United were unable to stop them getting a winner.

On that occasion, the result ended up costing them a European place. Last night's will almost certainly end their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

To happen once was bad enough, for it to occur again - four days after United conceded a very late equaliser at Brentford - is a major worry for manager Erik ten Hag.
