    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa boss Unai Emery on whether he has a big decision on who to start up front between Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran: "I'm happy, I want it. I want our players competing, each one to increase and add quality for us. Of course they are two strikers in good form and last year they played together sometimes.

    "Last year their connection wasn't so good on the pitch. But Jhon Duran is getting mature, he is getting confidence. Ollie Watkins, after his small problems and after he came trying to get fitness quick, progressively he is feeling better and they can play individually or they can play together.

    "Of course I want the best of them from here until the end of the season and I am happy it is those players in this form."

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa boss Unai Emery on managing fatigue with six games in 19 days coming up: "We have one year with this experience and we were playing more or less similar matches. We are expecting to play minimum until January, it depends if we progress in the Champions League and even the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup. Hopefully we can play more matches.

    "Of course it is difficult to manage it with a lot of matches. The Champions League starts next week but we have experience. Last season was very interesting, even with a lot of injuries. This year we have started with less injured players.

    "Last year we started with two big leg injuries from Tyrone Mings and Emi Buendia and hopefully this year we can keep the same process we are doing with less relevant injuries for a long time. I will manage the matches, trying to focus each match with the players we have available and 100% to play."

    "It is probably easier for me [to get used to] because in Spain kick-offs at 8pm on a Saturday are quite normal. I like it and I remember liking it when I was a player. Hopefully we can do well also."

    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola on how different it is to prepare to face Enzo Maresca's new-look Chelsea compared to the Blues side he faced last season: "I think there are some similarities, and they have most of the same players, but it is going to be a difficult game for us.

    "Tactically, in these first three games, they have used three different structures because they have a lot of different players and alternatives. All the things that you do, they will do other things. It is not easy to know how they will play. We have to prepare for a lot of different options."

    Chris Sutton
    Former Premier League striker

    Bournemouth are still unbeaten this season, even if their win at Everton was fortunate - they had a good five minutes, but that was it... which is a bit like the way my career went.

    I really don't know what to expect from Chelsea though, or if Cole Palmer is going to be fit enough to play. Because of that, I am going to sit on the fence and go for a draw.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Mark [Travers] will start tomorrow and he has been very good when he has had the chance. I'm confident that he will do well."

    On having two experienced goalkeepers to pick from now, he added: "These are good problems to have for a manager. Everyone has to push and has to give the best they can to win more minutes."

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner on the state of his squad: "I'm pleased with all our business on transfer deadline day. Great players with great characters and a good spirit in the group but we also have to be critical. Today was the first training session where we had all players available because of injuries.

    "I told them this is like a restart and when you have a Formula One car and you have to change one tyre, it's the same in our squad. We have had 30 to 40% changes in our squad and this means we have to build a new group and find a common sense of how we want to play on the pitch and how we want to treat each other."

Performance wise it was not the best from us. Even so, we got one point."

I admire him and I respect him. I think he has been an inspirational coach in my career because he has done things in his own way in various contexts, in various countries.

Due to the hunger - from the ownership to the board and all the players and staff here. That is the aim and objective [to win the Premier League]."

    On whether he would have considered leaving for any other club or international manager's job: "No, the emotional attachment that I have, that my family has and my kids have [to Arsenal], as well as the experience that I have and the moment [I am sharing] with the people - it is too strong."

    "Unfortunately Trevor Chalobah got injured in his first training session with us, so he's also not available tomorrow. It shouldn't be a long injury but he is also questionable for QPR."

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou on Arsenal: "Consistency and approach and mentality. The last two years they’ve had a real relentlessness about them. They haven't had to change their team too much. They have this confidence in themselves that they can challenge over the course of a Premier League season. That helps build momentum from season to season. They’re going to be a tough nut to crack, but it’s a great opportunity for us."

    The latest on Manchester United forward Nikita Parris is that I'm told she is down in Brighton working through the terms of the agreement.

    They are discussing a permanent move not a loan so Manchester United are set to receive a fee.

    United triggered the option clause in her contract this summer in anticipation of Parris moving on.
