Chelsea

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca on whether the recent form of Cole Palmer - no goals in five league games - concerns him: "No. I am always concerned about general performance. I am not concerned about Cole because Cole is a human being and he can have some moments during a season where he struggles a little bit more.

"The problem with Cole is that we rely on Cole for everything and I said since we started that we need to rely on the team. We need top players like Cole but we are not worried about him at all."

On what needs to be done to get Palmer's form back: "He needs to continue the way he is working. The other day he had a great chance but overall the performance from him - as I said, every game we expect a goal or assist from him so it is difficult.

"He is a human being. At this moment his performances probably reflects the team performances that we struggle to score goals so we need to be a little more clinical when we get the chances."

Chelsea

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca onwhether Southampton is the perfect game to get a win: "I don't trust games like this, they can be tricky games. If you watch the game against Manchester United away they were winning 1-0 until the last five minutes. It's a tricky one and from now on, every game, every team is playing for something so they are all going to be tough."

On whether it is a 'must win' game: "When you are here at Chelsea, there isn't a game where we aren't preparing to win. Our duty is to prepare every game to win. From now on we have 12 games to go and it is no doubt that all 12 are must win for us."

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca on how Filip Jorgensen is doing after his mistake against Aston Villa handed victory to the opposition: "He is ok. He feels a little bit sad or upset because he recognises he made a mistake but overall he is ok."

On whether he is still number one: "For sure. If we need to change a player every time they made a mistake then we would need to change many players game by game. Nothing has changed."

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca on Trevoh Chalobah's injury: "He had a check yesterday and he will be around one week to 10 days. On one side it is good because it is not an important injury but on the other side it is a shame because we lose another player at this moment with the amount of injuries that we had."

The media conferences are rolling in now - we'll be hearing from Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca very shortly...

Fulham

Fulham boss Marco Silva on the defeat to Crystal Palace: "Basic things that are important in football - we cannot let them have more than us. The reality is they were more on it than us. They were more streetwise than us. The level of performance from the referee was not on it as well. It was not a good performance from us or the referee. This makes things more difficult for us."

Fulham

Later than billed (as is traditional on media conference day), we are also hearing from Fulham boss Marco Silva.

He confirmed that Emile Smith Rowe and Tom Cairney will both be assessed before tomorrow evening's game.

Silva added that the injuries to both aren't significant but with the game coming so soon, they will err on the side of caution before making a decision.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Fabien Hurzeler on facing Bournemouth: "It's difficult to create a match plan against Bournemouth but it's difficult to do that for any of the clubs in the league. Bournemouth are very clear in the style they play.

"They are very intense. It will be a challenge for us to compete against them and we need to be mentally and physically on the highest level to be ready for them. But we will be able to do it because we have proved it in the last weeks. We have to keep the standards and to improve to be ready for the challenge against Bournemouth.

"Dango Ouattara, Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert are all very fast and athletic. They are all very good in transitions. But we need to try and avoid these transition moments."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Fabien Hurzeler on Joao Pedro, who bagged a goal and an assist against Southampton: "Joao is a player who always has the self confidence. He knows he can decide the game with one action. He not only has that thinking, but also the quality and skills to do it as he has proven last week.

"It's more important for me how he behaves as a team player and he proved last week he was always there for his team-mates. It showed me he is really committed to this club and wants to be the team player that everyone wants him to be.

"I am very happy that he has come back on the pitch and deserves what he gets because of his behaviour, his attitude in training and of course, his quality."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Fabien Hurzeler on injuries and team news: "I am still concerned about Danny Welbeck and Joel Weltman. We have to wait how the training will go today and make a decision. These two are still doubtful.

"We also have another important match on Sunday [against Newcastle United in the FA Cup fifth round], so we won't be taking any risks."

On whether Lewis Dunk will be back for the game: "There is no chance."

On whether Pervis Estupinan is in contention: "Yes, he will be an option for starting."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler on his side's chances of qualifying for Europe: "When you win games, there is always a good atmosphere. We are grateful it's like this but it's hard work. We need to keep the momentum and understand why we have this momentum.

"I never look too much at the table. You can only influence how you play. At the end of the season, you can look at the table. But at the moment, it's game by game and trying to get the best performance out of the players.

"The key thing at this club is developing young players and the group. We had a lot of new signings when we started. Now it's about having internal goals on where we want to go. We will see what happens at the end of the season, but it's too early to talk about reaching Europe. We have to wait for the right moment to talk about it."

Brighton are currently ninth, but only four points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.

Luka Modric scored a stunning goal to help send Real Madrid second in La Liga as they ended a run of three games without a win against a battling Girona.

Rivals Barcelona occupy top spot with Real second on goal difference, and Atletico Madrid a point adrift in third.

With England midfielder Jude Bellingham watching on from the stands after receiving a red card in the draw with Osasuna, Modric opened the scoring by controlling the ball on his chest and smashing a half-volley past Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga from 25 yards.

Vinicius Junior wrapped up the three points with a composed finish after being played through on goal by Kylian Mbappe in the 83rd minute.

Bayern Munich stretched their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to eight points after thrashing third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena.

Defending champions Bayer Leverkusen had reduced the gap to five points with a 2-0 win at Holstein Kiel on Saturday but Vincent Kompany's side responded in fine fashion.

After a frustrating 45 minutes Bayern took the lead in the third minute of first-half injury time after excellent link-up play in midfield allowed Leroy Sane to square for Michael Olise - the former Crystal Palace midfielder making no mistake for his seventh league goal of the season.

Sixteen minutes after the break, Bayern doubled their lead as Frankfurt failed to clear a corner and Hiroki Ito reacted fastest to side-foot home from close range.
