Manchester United

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim on the transfer window and whether homegrown players will be sold to boost finances: "We need to improve recruitment, so that when we are targeting players we are sure they can cope with the demands.

"Also, we have to improve our academy. Young kids that feel the club in the right way and do some business to have money to invest in the team.

"Our idea is always to keep the best players and to build for this club, but I am really happy and like our players, especially the guys from the academy."

When reading between the lines, Enzo Maresca has put his Chelsea players in three categories:

1. Those who are playing every week and won't leave in January
2. Those he is happy to keep around but who could leave if a substantial offer arrives for them
3. Players already on their way out or ones the club is actively looking to sell.

Maresca's direct communication style has left players certain about which camp they sit in.

Skipping over the first category, Maresca effectively confirmed that midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is in the second camp; defender Ben Chilwell and midfielder Cesare Casadei are in the third.

Manchester United

It's all happening!

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has also been talking with the media.

He was asked if the league, rather than the FA Cup, was more of a priority: "In this moment I am living day by day. What I am thinking is we have one week without any game, we had a day off and we could work with the team a bit.

"We have to play the best team and win and follow the last performance. I am not thinking in that way because we are in a difficult moment. My focus is more in our week. In the cup you never know. Sometimes it is better to win this kind of game and then you have less time to rest. We just want to win this game and then we will think about the next one."

On the FA Cup, of which it will be his first experience: "I see what everybody sees. It is a really old competition with a lot of history.

"We won some cups and we want to continue. At this stage we already have a really strong match we want to win and we want to improve the image and performance."

Arsenal

A final word from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on the match ball after his complaints over the EFL Cup ball: "We adapt. In the Champions League, it's different. Every ball is different, different flight. It's not an excuse. Every pitch is different, the weather is different."

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been talking about the club's FA Cup third-round tie at home to Salford City.

Guardiola started by describing his opponents as his "hometown club", saying he has been living in Salford for the past eight years.

Stick with us for the rest of that interview.

More to follow.

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca was asked about the speculation linking the club with former defender Marc Guehi: "Only thing I can say is Guehi is a Palace player.

"I like Marc for sure, but he is not our player. I also like the central defenders we have. I also like central defenders in Italy, Spain, in France, but does not mean we are going to buy those players.

"Normal situation when you have central defender injury that speculation is there, but there is nothing.

On possibility of recalling Trevoh Chalobah: "This is exactly the same. I have to give you the same answer. Trev is a good player, but also a Palace player, so we will see."

Arsenal

More from Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on the transfer window: "We always have discussions about how we can improve the team. The circumstances changed because we've had some injuries to some top players, but it has to be someone who can make a difference."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on the club's FA Cup tie with Manchester United: "It's a beautiful game to play against a massive club and they will bring lots of supporters.

"The memory of winning something and sharing it with people is the ultimate goal."

Chelsea

We will bring you more from Mikel Arteta, but let's also bring in Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.

He started with some team news: "Both [Romeo Lavia and Reece James] are available and can get some minutes for tomorrow's game. The rest, apart from [Wesley] Fofana, [Benoit] Badiashile and Kiernan [Dewsbury-Hall], are all available.

On Fofana saying on social media he can be back in a few weeks: "We speak the same language in terms of way we communicate between each other in English and French. It has been quite clear.

"I speak with Wes about the 12-16 weeks the club mention to me, it is the situation. Wes is thinking he can recover sooner than that. We would all be happy if we could receive him for tomorrow, but we will see.

"There is no problem. I just say what the medical staff tell me. Wes is thinking he can recover quicker than that. We are all happy if Wes is back as soon as possible."

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on what he wants from the January transfer window: "Someone that can impact the team immediately with the performance and bring something that we don't have. That can be really hard in this market."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on opposition boss Ruben Amorim and Manchester United's recent positive results at Manchester City and Liverpool: "Look at how they perform against the big teams and how they perform and the results they got.

"I know him well, I followed him in Portugal and there is a big reason why he is where he is at the moment and he deserves to be there.

"Every manager when he is appointed is for different reasons. Sometimes it is to transform a football club."

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta started by describing the FA Cup as a "massive" part of the club's history.

The Gunners have, of course, won the competition a record 14 times.

He described Sunday's tie against holders Manchester United as a "beautiful" game.

Arsenal

Speaking of Arsenal, manager Mikel Arteta is talking now. Let's see what he has had to say.

After four successive defeats, Manchester United's draw at Liverpool on Sunday finally afforded a bit of positivity for head coach Ruben Amorim.

Yet that has given way to more talk about Marcus Rashford's future, given his brother has spent this week talking to European clubs, and also Kobbie Mainoo, who still has two-and-a-half years left on his contract but is one of United's most saleable assets.

An FA Cup trip to Arsenal is made slightly harder by the fact there has to be a winner at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday but following the EFL Cup defeat at Tottenham, it is one of two remaining chances of winning a trophy this season - the Europa League being the other.

Amorim will be here to speak to the media shortly.

Right, keep your thoughts coming on managerial returns, but we have the thoughts of some actual FA Cup managers to bring you now too.

The questions is, which news conference will land first?

Here is a list of the top-flight clubs we expect to hear from this afternoon, so you can cross them off as we go down the list:

• Bournemouth
• Chelsea
• Manchester United
• Arsenal
• Brentford
• Crystal Palace
• Manchester City
• Ipswich
• Southampton
• Tottenham
• Wolves

In case you are just joining us and wondering why we are talking about managers who have had two or more spells in charge of two or more clubs, then David Moyes is the answer to your question.

The 61-year-old Scot, who famously won the Europa Conference League during his second spell in charge of West Ham, is in talks to return to Everton - another one of this former clubs.

So our previous caller flagged John Still's impressive career in the lower leagues.

For the record, he was at Barnet three times, Dagenham & Redbridge three times, Maidstone United twice and Leytonstone & Ilford twice [as well as a spell at Leytonstone before the club joined forces with Ilford].

Further up the pyramid and it looks like Neil Warnock was the king of comebacks. As mentioned, he has had multiple spells at Huddersfield, Crystal Palace and QPR! Incredible.

There are more answers coming through via text messages because you guys clearly know more than we do!!

A bit cruel to leave people guessing on the clubs John!

Norwich City's Borja Sainz has been suspended for six matches and fined £12,000 for a spitting incident during their Championship defeat at Sunderland.

Championship top scorer Sainz was alleged to have spat at defender Chris Mepham in the second half of their 2-1 loss on 21 December.

"Sainz admitted the charge and his sanctions were subsequently imposed by an independent regulatory commission," an FA statement said.

The ban means that the 23-year-old Spaniard will also miss Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie against Brighton.

"Spitting at an opponent is completely out of character for me, and my reaction in that moment was unacceptable. I deeply regret my actions and take full responsibility," said Sainz, who has scored 15 goals this season.
