Crystal Palace v Brentford (Sun, 14:00 GMT)
Brentford boss Thomas Frank on Yoane Wissa: "It's good with all these rumours, I love the transfer window.
"There's a lot of rumours, for me again, he's a Brentford player and in my opinion Wissa is not for sale, he's been our leading number nine, he's been fantastic. I cannot see why we should sell him."
Crystal Palace v Brentford (Sun, 14:00 GMT)
Brentford boss Thomas Frank on Mads Roerslev leaving the club: "He's a Brentford player. And he will, most likely play on Sunday with us. Of course I'm not giving up the line-up but he is a Brentford player."
Crystal Palace v Brentford (Sun, 14:00 GMT)
Brentford boss Thomas Frank on new signing Michael Kayode: "Really like him, very happy that we managed to sign him to give us more depth in the full-back positions. I think he's very talented, fantastic physical package.
"Good abilities to keep going forward. Very good defensively. Of course, young and needs to be developed. He hasn't played much this season but last season he more or less played a full season at Fiorentina.
"A very good signing I think. He will not be able to get that [international clearance] before Sunday."
Image source, Getty ImagesMore from Michael Brown on The Football News Show about Manchester City defender Kyle Walker's possible move to AC Milan: "It's a really sad day that he's not going to be playing for Man City this weekend. What he's done there, the trophies, the leadership, but football happens.
"You see what he's done at top, top Champions League games, at Premier League games.
"But he's decided he wants to make a change. He wants to get 100 [England] caps. It's not done yet but it's pretty close. But the future looks interesting."

Garcia, 60, replaces Dominic Tedesco, who sacked last month.
The Frenchman has been out of work since November 2023 when he left Napoli after just 16 matches.
Former Manchester City midfielder Michael Brown on whether new signing Omar Marmoush is an upgrade on Julian Alvarez? "It's not an upgrade. It's a 'potential' signing.
"We've seen some inconsistencies in his play. City decided he was the one they wanted to go for.
"It means the press might start a bit higher."

Former Manchester City midfielder Michael Brown on Manchester City's three new signings: "At the front of the pitch, [it's] the rotation Pep [Guardiola] can have.
"I would have hoped they could've gone with a marquee signing but they wanted to get some youth and a spring in the step. All of sudden people are a bit keener, a bit more alert.
"He [Guardiola] would've have wanted all of them straight into the squad but he's got no choice.
"It's a big, big week for City."

Man City v Chelsea (Sat, 17:30 GMT)
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on Saturday's visit of Chelsea, who are two points above his side in fourth and managed by his former assistant Enzo Maresca: "Really important. We are very close in the table even even with the big big problems we had in the recent past.
"The next two games [against Chelsea and Club Brugge in the UCL] are really really important, finals with us. Our people will support us.
"I think I recognised his [Maresca] team from day one, even when we played them in the summer camp in the States. Many things I started to see that we spoke about many, many times in the last years together. Really good."

Man City v Chelsea (Sat, 17:30 GMT)
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on new signings Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov and Omar Marmoush: "Vitor is young, he has a huge personality, needs time. If he's here with us, of course he can start.
"Khusanov has already settled for the fact that he played in the French league, handling tough, quick, fast players. But he doesn't speak much English so communication will be one of the situations that we have to deal with.
"Marmoush, I think he will adapt quick.
"They will make us strong and I'm pretty sure that the club decided for this prospective players for the future and many years."
Man City v Chelsea (Sat, 17:30 GMT)

Tottenham v Leicester (Sun, 14:00 GMT)

It felt Ruud Van Nistelrooy went out of his way to emphasise the unity at Leicester during his press conference.
That he was making the point and repeatedly using words like "unity" and "togetherness" was even highlighted to the Foxes boss by the media in the conference.
Perhaps he lent on it too much but the message was clear, that he needs his players to be behind him and each other to survive.
There have been suggestions of heated discussions with players this week but what manager would not have them after seven straight defeats?
Van Nistelrooy has been in charge for just 56 days and he is already fielding questions about his position and whether there are fractures in the squad as his side sit second bottom of the Premier League.
That is no surprise amid their current run of form and Leicester will equal a club record run of losses if they fall to an eighth straight defeat at Tottenham on Sunday.
Ultimately, Van Nistelrooy's words and calls for unity will be useless unless his side start to win.
