Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on Brighton and their young manager Fabian Hurzeler: "I’m really impressed with the way they play. They had to make a lot of signings and he is doing an incredible job.

"They were outstanding against Liverpool but didn't get the result. They played really good.

"They always have been tough away or at home, since Graham Potter, and this will be no exception."

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on losing three games in a row: "20 minutes against Fulham were not good, against Bournemouth we were not good, but the rest of the games we were good. We are good. We will see what happens"

Manchester City

Giving an update on team news after the midweek Champions League defeat by Sporting in Lisbon, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said: "No good news. The same, I think, as Lisbon."

Manchester City

It was a 'blink and you'll miss it' moment at Manchester City as boss Pep Guardiola only faced questions for three minutes and six seconds.

The first question was on whether he would meet with the owners in the international break in Abu Dhabi over his contract.

His reply? "No."

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed that winger Jack Grealish is not fit for Saturday's game against Brighton, despite being named in the England squad.

On why Grealish has still been selected, he said: "That is the question for the manager of England."

Manchester United

Manchester United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy on Luke Shaw's return to training and Amad Diallo's fitness:

"[On Thursday against PAOK] we had a lot of benefit from Christian [Eriksen] playing a good 30 minutes for [Manuel] Ugarte and Mason [Mount] making his first minutes - that benefited us as well.

"I'm glad that they're back and also, for a little bit longer in the future, it's good that Luke and Leny [Yoro] are on the pitch.

"Amad was assessed, we're still working on him to get him ready for Sunday. Hopefully it will work.

"Kobbie [Mainoo] is also progressing, he's making the right steps but he's not yet with the team, that needs a bit more time."

Bruno Fernandes has one goal to show for an xG of 3.74, and that was a penalty last week against Chelsea.

Fernandes was fantastic against Leicester in the EFL Cup - Steve Cooper did make a few changes - when United scored five. He finished with two goals, could have been more.

With the boost of a new manager on the way, United surely have to end this low-scoring run and what better chance than at home to a Leicester side who have conceded just under two goals per game.

Manchester United thrashed Leicester in the Carabao Cup at the end of October in Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first game as interim manager, but the Foxes had made nine changes from their previous league game.

So I am not sure that 5-2 scoreline tells us too much about what will happen here, but I do think United will win again.

I have put United midfielder Bruno Fernandes back into my Fantasy team. I should have captained him last week, when he scored a penalty against Chelsea - my assistant (my son Ollie, who is the 'Taylor' in our Brian Clough and Peter Taylor managerial partnership) told me to do that, but I didn’t listen.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Southampton

Southampton boss Russell Martin with team news:

"It's pretty much as is. Wee Man (Ryan Fraser) has trained for the last couple of days, but it's probably too early to be in the squad. Everyone else seems to be good."

Southampton

Southampton boss Russell Martin praised defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis on receiving his first call-up for the England senior squad: "It's brilliant for the club. For us, he's been huge. We've had a difficult start and in the last few weeks we've seen him grow a lot as a character and leader on the pitch. He has to keep improving, he's an extremely talented young man. I'm delighted for him."

Martin also gave a special mention to Aaron Ramsdale and Tyler Dibling, who have been called up to England's senior squad and Under-21s, respectively.

Southampton

Southampton manager Russell Martin spoke highly of Wolves boss Gary O'Neil, who is a former team-mate:

"I look forward to catching up with him. I had a lot of time for him as a team-mate and as a person.

"I think he's done a great job and did great last season. I have no doubt [Wolves] will hit their stride at some point."

Arsenal

Finally from Mikel Arteta, here's the Arsenal boss on responding to a tricky run:

"When you don't win, it affects the mood and energy. There is nobody in this room or outside that wants to win more than I do or the players do. That is impossible. I sense a big belief in what we do as a team."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on the mentality of his squad:

"You go in there this morning and think how they are going to feel and they are there. They are paying attention, they are hungry, they want to work. Their desire is unbelievable. They are a joy to work with."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Martin Odegaard's return: "It's about the collective and everybody taking ownership. Certainly having a player like Martin helps because he has shown what an impact he has over the last four, five years."

On Odegaard not being named in the Norway squad: "Let's see how he goes, how he trains tomorrow. He's available, he's fit, then we make the decision."

On being captain while injured: "He's always very close and active with the team. He knows his role and responsibility. It is different but the team had no issues at all."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on adjusting to Martin Odegarrd's return:

"We have to adapt a lot this season because we have a lot of injuries. That is something the team is learning and adapting to. A lot of the times it has worked and a lot of times something is missing. The team has the capacity to adjust."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on dealing with Cole Palmer:

"That's a question that all the managers in the league have had and he's still managed to impact games. We will have a plan for Cole and all their threats, and to exploit their weaknesses."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on whether defeat would mean the end of their title bid: "I don't think about that.

"Nobody works harder than me, I guarantee you that. We don't need a reset. In one particular aspect we need to go from 95 to 100. I will not tell you what that is.

"It will not require 100 points this season. It will require perfection to keep winning."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Declan Rice: "I have to be very vague on that one because there is no clarity, if he is going to be fit or not for the weekend. He hasn't trained yet and it is not clear yet whether he is going to be available."

On Martin Odegaard: "Everybody that is in the squad will be fit and available to start the game. Then it is a decision to see if it is too early.

On Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino: "[We have to] wait to see how they react. Kai's was quite a nasty cut. Mikel wasn't feeling great and we decided to substitute him at half-time."

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is hopeful Cole Palmer will be available to play against Arsenal on Sunday.

The 22-year-old picked up a knee injury against Manchester United last weekend but was seen walking unaided at Chelsea's Conference League game against Noah on Thursday.

"He's getting better," said Maresca. "[Just because] he can walk and have dinner it doesn't mean he is completely fit, but we still have two days to prepare the game.

"Hopefully we can have him for the session at least on Saturday and then we'll take a decision."

I don’t do this very often but my prediction here rests on whether one player is fit or not - Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.

Arsenal have a doubt over Declan Rice, which is a worry for them, and Martin Odegaard will be rusty after returning from his lay-off with a brief appearance against Inter Milan in midweek, but it is Palmer who holds the key.

You are asking me to make a prediction and I don't know which gun I've got - a bazooka or a water pistol.

Palmer has missed training this week after getting injured against Manchester United last weekend and Chelsea need him if they are going to win this.

Even if Palmer is absent, I don’t think Arsenal will win. What worries me about them is what they do in the opposition box. They played well against Inter but they came up short in front of goal, and they certainly aren’t clicking in the final third.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1 if Palmer is in the Chelsea team. 1-1 if he isn't - final prediction will be made when the line-ups are announced.
