Bournemouth

As for Bournemouth, their manager Andoni Iraola provided a squad fitness update ahead of Saturday's match against Aston Villa: "Dango [Ouattara] is out. [His injury] is probably not very long term but we are talking about three games remaining - I really expect him out for these three games because he has an injury in the adductor, it is a proper injury.

"He is normally very quick recover so I cannot say for sure he won't play, but in normal conditions he won't play. It is a shame because he was in a great state physically.

"We still have the other three injuries out [Ryan Christie, Enes Unal, Luis Sinnistera]."

Aston Villa

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery on the race for Champions League places: "Our objective is Europe. Again to get Europe, to play next year again in Europe.

"We played Conference League last year, Champions League this year, but of course Europe has three options - Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.

"[I am] excited [for this match], but also responsible to play again in Europe.

"Of course to play Champions League is the best you can do again, but most difficult. But it is not in our hands - we have to win and wait for other results."

Aston Villa

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been discussing player availability for Saturday's match.

He said midfielder Youri Tielemans "is injured [and] not available for tomorrow", but that it is a "small issue" and they will "test him again next week".

Emery also said that he does "not know" whether forward Marcus Rashford will feature again this season, but that he is unavailable for Saturday.

Mikel Arteta has backed up his 'best team in Champions League' and 'Arsenal could have had two Premier League titles' claims.

Judging by the thumbs, very few of you agree with him.

Time to take a look at team news from the other manager news conferences.

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on whether he believes his side have taken a step forwards this season: "For sure in the Champions League we have because we have done better than last season but not what we want because we want to win it.

"In the Premier League we have taken a step backwards, the points that we have created it is clear that we haven't done as good as last season - that is obvious."

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was asked how close he feels the team are to winning trophies: "We are there. With the amount of points we have generated in the last two seasons, we should have, we could have two Premier Leagues. We know are close we are, we are there. We are providing the numbers to win titles. We have to be a little luckier or still do better. Again, what we did in the Champions League - with those numbers, you have a big probability of winning it."

On whether he feels luck has been against his side this season: "There are many factors. You need it to go your way. The decision in the clinical moment - it is fine margins. What we have tried to do is amplify the margins. The bigger the margins are, it will be very difficult for the opposition."

Last answer from Pep Guardiola. The Manchester City boss was asked about youngster Nico O'Reilly, who has started the past seven games at left-back before being replaced just before the hour mark in last Friday's 1-0 win over Wolves.

"He played a lot of minutes," said Guardiola. "There are games where he played outstanding then the game after he did not play; players who haven't played very good have played the next game. There is no reason, there are no punishments here.

"When the game is done we analyse what we can do better but then it's completely forgotten. It's in the past, it's about what we can learn in the game for the next one, especially for the young players.

"The results we've had, they would be difficult to imagine without him."

With Manuel Akanji now available again, Guardiola was asked whether he would move 20-year-old O'Reilly into midfield: "Yeah, he can play there, definitely". Tomorrow? "You will see".

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on how he lifts his team for the remainder of the season: "This is where we are. When you get so close to winning big trophies and you don't achieve it, it has to be part of the journey. You have to be able to immediately go into another competition and perform at the highest level - that's it."

On whether his side will give Liverpool a guard of honour on Sunday: "They deserve it. They have been the better team, they have been the most consistent. What the coaching team have done has been fascinating, it has been really good and they fully deserve it. That is the sport, when somebody is better then you have to applaud and accept and try to reach that level."

Arsenal

More from Mikel Arteta: "Regardless of the players you have, it happens. Nobody can predict when you watch a semi-final like Inter-Barcelona - you couldn't have predicted who was going to score and how they were going to score - it's impossible.

"Against us, [Achraf] Hakimi who for sure shouldn't have been in the game in the last 10 minutes of the first leg so he shouldn't have played at all in the second leg and score. There are a lot of random things in football."

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on what his team need to do to take the next step: "We raise the probability even more. If you face PSG who are one of the best teams and they blow you away then you shake hands. When you look them in the eye and play the way they did and suffocate them the way we did there and it's still not enough because things didn't go your way then you have to accept that, that's the sport."

Arsenal

More from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta: "I've watched it back, seen all the stats. We had the best stats and best goal difference in the semi-final so it is very clear.

"But it is not about the winning probability, it's about making it happen and making it count. When you look at the most important stat I normally give you, the best platform to win football matches is crystal clear - who was better."

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on Xabi Alonso leaving Bayer Leverkusen: "His impact on Leverkusen has been unbelievable. I think all the managers who had the opportunity and the pleasure to have him as a player always realised that he would be a manager.

"Going to Germany and fighting with Bayern Munich is always so difficult. Last season they were unbeaten except for the last game against Atalanta in the Europa League final. The way they played, the way he improved the players - I think Leverkusen themselves have to be so proud of the partnership that they had for just three years."

Arsenal

Arteta also confirms his side will give Liverpool a guard of honour on Sunday.

"They deserve it," he says. "They've been the better team. What their coaching staff have done...and they fully deserve it and that's sport.

"When someone's better you have to respect that."

Arsenal

Mikel Arteta is now speaking to the media.

When asked about the PSG semi-final loss he says it's "One of the saddest and proudest moment I've had as an Arsenal manager for many obvious reasons".

He's then asked if he stands by his claim that Arsenal were the best side in this season's Champions League.

He says: "100%. Watching it back, watching all the stats. Best stats, best goal difference. But it's about making it happen and making it count."

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland saying that the team's dip in form this season was down to a lack of hunger: "If it's a feeling for Erling, the players should talk to each other and ask themselves why.

"We can do better. We're happy for the results we have but the situation is we have to sustain it for many, many months. It's just been for three or four weeks."

Manchester City

Manchester City are still hoping to secure a Champions League spot and although they face a Southampton side which has already been relegated on Saturday, boss Pep Guardiola said: "It starts 0-0. It's a massive, important game for us, definitely. There's just three games left and we have respect for them."

On whether City's recent run is their best form all season, he added: "At the beginning we did it but yeah, for a long time. We can do better."

On the chance to finish second and win the FA Cup, Guardiola said: "I'm not thinking about that, I'm sorry to tell you. It's just Southampton that's on my mind and all week I've been thinking about them. The rest of the analysis, we will do it at the end of the season."

To stick or to twist?

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has given a fitness update, saying that striker Erling Haaland is "ready, he's fit. If he'll start, we'll decide tomorrow".

Guardiola confirmed that midfielder Rodri is "still not available" and added that forward Oscar Bobb and defender Nathan Ake "have started training with us, partial, but still are not available".

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland is fit and available but doesn't know if he'll start at the weekend.
