Ipswich Town

More from Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna on facing Man Utd: "It's a quick turnaround. There's a lot of work to be done in the next couple of days but everyone is really excited.

"The opportunity to go and compete there in a league game is fantastic for the football club, for the group of players, and for the staff.

"It's a stadium that many of us will have grown up watching football at and be inspired by. You want the players to feel nothing but excitement and good feelings towards the game. Of course it's a difficult challenge as well and we have to prepare for that but the overriding feeling in the building is excitement."

Ipswich Town

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna on his side reacting to the 4-1 home loss to Spurs on Saturday: "It's been fine. I didn't feel it. We're not going to be dancing and signing after losing home games but we came out on the wrong side of a harsh scoreline.

"It was disappointing the way the game ended up but we've taken a lot of positives from it."

On the visit to Old Trafford: "Now we have a big game to focus on on Wednesday. There's a great energy around the training ground today, everyone is really excited. It's the standout one on the calendar for sure. For our players, it is the first time some of the will play at Old Trafford."

Rangers

Barry Ferguson has been appointed interim Rangers manager following Philippe Clement's departure, with Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor assisting the former club captain.

The ex-Rangers and Scotland team-mates' first game in the dugout will be Wednesday's Scottish Premiership trip to Kilmarnock (20:00 GMT).

Assistant manager Issame Charai led training on Monday.

Clement left Ibrox on Sunday, a day after a 2-0 home defeat by St Mirren left Rangers 13 points behind league leaders Celtic.

Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton are the three clubs most in danger of being relegated this season. Both Ipswich and Leicester are on 17 points and wins in their next few games would potentially see them to safety if Wolves, currently in 17th and four points above the bottom three, started to drop points.

However, Ipswich lost 4-1 to Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend, and now have to face Manchester United on Wednesday.

Leicester also lost over the weekend, 4-0 to Brentford - their sixth straight Premier League home defeat without scoring.

Southampton are on just nine points and have to travel to both Chelsea and Liverpool over the next few weeks, followed by a possibly decisive clash against Wolves.

Wolves

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira on Brazil midfielder Andre: "He is important for us because he keeps the balance of the team. When we have the ball he needs to be aware, to be organised and be balanced for the moment we might lose the ball. He's the player to connect the sectors, switch the play and he has the intelligence to play in that position."

On striker Jorgen Strand Larsen's return to fitness: "It's a good headache. Hopefully I have a lot of headaches like that. He is better now, he played 45 minutes and is recovering his fitness. Now he is in the condition to help the team."

Wolves

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira on beating Bournemouth and looking ahead to facing Fulham: "It was good but the most important is the next one, the next one is against Fulham and it's very important for us.

"I expect our best version on Tuesday. We can improve a lot of things; scoring goals when we get opportunities, defending well because this is a good team with a good coach. We must look for ourselves and compete to get the three points."

Pereira has said Goncalo Guedes, Hwang Hee-chan, Emmanuel Agbadou and Rodrigo Gomes are all unlikely to be fit.

BBC Radio 5 Live

Chris Jack, writer for the Rangers Review website, on Philippe Clement’s exit: "I think that there were a number of factors, some of which were probably a bit out of his control. There's dysfunction in the club in terms of the structure above him. He has made too many mistakes domestically, he has signed a number of players that have not quite worked and they [Rangers] have not delivered what they have had to this season."

"Any Rangers manager who finds themselves that distance from Celtic is a title race is always going to find themselves under pressure. I think he didn't help himself with recent comments over the last few weeks and didn't really convince the fans that Rangers are on the right track. We've seen the protests at the Ibrox, we've seen the protests away from home. He was never going to win that back."

BBC Radio 5 Live

Chris Jack, writer for the Rangers Review website, on Philippe Clement’s exit: "I think it's something that has been on the cards for quite some time. It's a season that has snowballed from a Rangers' perspective almost since the start because he had issues at Ibrox, issues in the Champions League and a poor start to a domestic campaign which has never really recovered, as too many points have been dropped away from home.

"The Old Firm defeat at Parkhead, the Old Firm defeat in the League Cup final at Hampden and at that stage, it began to look really difficult for Philippe Clement and it's only gone from bad to worse."

Rangers

While we wait for the rest of this afternoon's Premier League media conferences, let's get some more reaction to the big news in Scotland today - Rangers sacking Philippe Clement...

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola on how Liverpool's corner routine that led to their opening goal against Man City was similar to theirs earlier in the season: "I saw their corner routine but it is definitely not something that we invented. I don't take any responsibility for that, no."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola on Illia Zabarnyi who was sent off on Saturday against Wolves: "We will see [who will play] because we still have an appeal. We will see if he can play tomorrow, I still don't know. They are going to decide in a couple of hours."

On who will start if Zabarnyi cannot play: "These things happen to every team whether it's with injury or suspension and we have to adapt. Everyone has shown that they can step up. There are no excuses. I will try to make the right call."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola when asked if there are any fresh injury concerns within his squad: "I don't know. We are training this evening and we will see how they have recovered. Yesterday was a recovery day so today we will see how the players train and who is available. Right now, I don't know."

Bournemouth

Here's Andoni...

Premier League

There are a lot of clips online of Cole Palmer getting frustrated with his teammates amid Chelsea's run of just two wins in 10 matches across all competitions.

The 22-year-old forward registered a Chelsea club-record 26 goals and 13 assists last season and is now himself declining in terms of goal involvements.

He hasn't scored in six matches, not registered an assist in 13 matches, but his manager Enzo Maresca suggests he is simply a "human being" and frustrated by recent results, not his teammates.

Many will be watching Palmer as Chelsea face have a favourable run of matches against Southampton, Leicester and Copenhagen.

The conversation will increasingly be about whether Chelsea can match their talisman's ambitions if they can win a trophy in the Conference League and if they don't qualify for the Champions League for a third consecutive season.
