One player who departed Stamford Bridge was forward Joao Felix, who secured a loan move to AC Milan.

On that move, Enzo Maresca said: "Nothing happened. Simply, I said many times, that the players train every day and they want to play all the games.

"Unfortunately, just 11 play all the games and we decide altogether that that it was a good option to leave.

"He never complained. He has been very good with us, professional. Just a matter of my decision. The reason why is because we need defensive balance. When you have so many attacking players, sometimes you can concede a transition or a goal and I don't like that."

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca on Christopher Nkunku's role: "Yes, for sure. I spoke already about Christo. Against West Ham, he played more or less half an hour and hopefully from now on, he can get more minutes and help us.

"Absolutely. I was with the club. Altogether, we were sure before the window closed that Christo was one of the players that we intended to keep.

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca could be without forwards Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu this weekend.

On whether he has enough attacking cover, Maresca said: "Yes, absolutely.

"Before the last game we had two strikers. Nico and Marc. Sometimes, we adapt also sometimes with Christopher but in case they are both out, we are going to find different solutions."

Tottenham Hotspur

Ange Postecoglou came out with a great quote regarding the club's injury situation last week, saying: "Every time I've seen the light at the end of the tunnel, it's usually been an oncoming train."

Well, it appears another train hit last night when Richarlison went down clutching his calf.

Postecoglou says he won't have any injured player back for Sunday's FA Cup tie, but next week could see a welcome return for a few.

"We’re still hopeful we’ll get two or three back for the Man Utd game, we’ve got two full weeks of training and we should get the majority of these players back with a bit of luck, providing we don’t lose anyone else. I knew this would be a challenging week in terms of personnel," he said.

On Richarlison: “It’s disappointing for him, he was emotional, he’s worked really hard to get back, it’s another setback we and him have got to deal with."

Tottenham Hotspur

It was a tough night for Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou.

And there was no shortage of criticism being aimed at him and his players in the aftermath of the 4-0 loss to Liverpool.

"I get the pile on at the moment, it’s really easy for people to stick their boots in and question the players but I don’t question," he said.

"We were disappointed last night didn’t go the way we wanted and we didn’t perform at the levels - but that doesn’t define this group of players in my eyes.

“We’ll go out there on Sunday and put out more of a performance that reflects where we’re at. I have a great deal of belief in these players and what they’re going through and how they’re dealing with it."

Some team news to bring you from Chelsea, too.

Manager Enzo Maresca has updates on forwards Marc Guiu and Nicolas Jackson: "Marc is unfortunately a bad injury, and Nico is better [than he was]."

On whether Jackson could face Brighton: "Could be, could also be a risk. We will see but it doesn't look like a long injury."

On the severity of Guiu's injury: "We are still waiting. It doesn't look like a short injury, it looks like a long injury. Exactly how long, I don't know. Probably weeks/months, yes."

And on Romeo Lavia's injury: "No, Romeo is still in the process to come back. He's still got a long way to go."

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is speaking to the media around 13 hours after his side's painful Carabao Cup semi-final loss to Liverpool.

He says the squad got home at about 2am this morning and most of the players are still sleeping.

It's a trip to Aston Villa next for them on Sunday, with the FA Cup representing one of their two remaining trophy opportunities this season.

Postecoglou says he won't have any injured players back in time for that one.

From an upbeat Arne Slot, we go to Ange Postecoglou...

Liverpool

A final word from Liverpool manager Arne Slot for now, on whether his side can push for an unprecedented Quadruple this season: "It's difficult for me to judge because I wasn't here last season, so I don't know. I can only tell you that at this moment in time we are in a very good place. I'm not just talking about the results, but the players are fit and ready.

"We are in a good place but we also know how long the season still is and how many difficult challenges there will still be for us.

"I'm not expecting us to win every game like we did yesterday [4-0 against Tottenham], but that is also not what I ask of them. We just try to do everything to win every single football match."

Discussing the quality of centre-back Virgil van Dijk, Arne Slot said: "Virgil deserves every compliment he gets.

"He's been outstanding for the club since he's been here and outstanding for me since I've been at the club.

"He showed that again yesterday. Virgil, like many others, has had a good season, but he will want to make it a great season."

Liverpool

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Liverpool manager Arne Slot says he will look to rotate his squad this weekend as the Reds, still fighting on four fronts, take on Plymouth Argyle.

"It is always a tricky tie, no matter what team you play, because it is an away game and it is probably their 'final', as is often the case when Liverpool goes anywhere," Slot said.

"I think it is important in these moments for players that don't get much playing time to have that playing time, so that if we ever need them then they are ready. If you never play them, it is so difficult for them to be ready if we do get some injuries or suspensions.

"We will definitely use some players that haven't played so much."

Here's what Liverpool manager Arne Slot had to say on the quality in his squad, after asked being asked about whether Conor Bradley is ready to be Liverpool's first choice right-back.

"For many positions, we have two [players]. [Two] good right-backs, two good left-backs, more than two good centre-backs, and I could go on.

"Right-back is just an example of that."
