How do you silence rival fans when they are giving you grief?

Well, bending one in to the back of the net straight from a corner certainly helps.

That's exactly what Neymar did for Brazilian side Santos in their 3-0 win at Internacional de Limeira on Sunday.

The 33-year-old had been on the receiving end of boos from the home crowd and responded in the best way a footballer can - by notching an assist and a goal.

Speaking after the game, Neymar claimed that his goal was entirely deliberate: "I went to take the corner, they provoked me.

"I asked them to sing louder, I struck the ball and got an assist. Then, the second time I went there [to the corner], they did it again, so I thought to myself: 'Now I'm the one who's going to score the goal'."

Tom is referring to the 2022-23 Premier League season, when Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Fulham all stayed up. Leeds, Leicester and Southampton were the relegated clubs in that campaign.

And breathe...

That's all for Premier League media conferences for now. We'll back at lunchtime to hear from several more managers, including Pep Guardiola and Ruben Amorim.

Let's turn to some other matters from the world of football - including your answers to our question about Leeds United, and how they might fare in the English top flight.

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on dealing with the threat of Mohamed Salah: "That's going to be a challenge for us. It's always not down to any one individual in the team, although he will naturally come up against one opponent, it's about the team supporting that area of the pitch.

"I think against Arsenal at home in the Carabao Cup is a great game to reflect on. We defended in twos, threes, fours. We had a mentality that we wanted to defend our goal to the highest level.

"I don't think we've consistently had that in recent weeks but we're going to need that in this game."

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe confirmed Sandro Tonali (pictured) "came through fine" in his substitute appearance against Forest and he "anticipates he will now be fully fit".

Sven Botman is "improving quickly" and will be "very close" for the Liverpool game.

On Joelinton: "With Joe, it's similar to Sven he is really improving and doing really well and pushing. He is another player who could be quite close."

"He has those key aspects that we have missed when he's not there, his physicality and strength there is an obvious presence missing in our midfield. Joey is a massive player for us."

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on the 'emotional' challenge of playing at Anfield: "We need to be close to a perfect game from our perspective.

"Learning from the recent game against Manchester City would be a good starting point for us where we didn't execute the agressive gameplan that we wanted and we dodn't attack the game well enough.

"We need to learn from that at Anfield which is a great environment to play football in but not good if you're not totally there.

"We have to acknowledge that and make sure we turn up. Psychologically it's huge. It's an emotional stadium, we're going to need to start well, and we need to have a threat in the game."

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on his side's inconsistency this season: "It's been there all season to a degree. There's been games we've been frustrated at ourselves. But, when you hear the statistic of 13 wins out of 16 that's not an inconsistent team. I'd certainly take that again in the next 16 games.

"I try to be very honest and acknowledge we have been inconsistent at times and Sunday [the 4-3 win over Nottingham Forest] reflected that."

Newcastle United

And from Mikel Arteta, we go straight up north to hear from Eddie Howe...

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on Ben White: "He is a player that has given us something very special, especially in that right unit. We haven't played the right unit at all this season with him, Bukayo [Saka] and Martin [Odegaard]. It is great to have him back, more options, his energy, the way he is around the team. He certainly has been missed."

And if he thinks England have missed White: "That is for Thomas [Tuchel] to decide, not me."

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says "over my dead body" to giving up on the title but is asked if he thinks it is still possible: "If not I will go home. Mathematically it is possible. You are there, you have to play every game, suddenly three days ago we could close a gap and you are like 'you are one-and-a-half games away'. It doesn't matter, we have to continue to go.

"The difficulty is higher than three days about but if you are going to win the Premier League you have to do something special. If you are going to win the Premier League with the circumstances we have you will probably have to do something that nobody else has done in the history of the Premier League."

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was asked if the West Ham loss was his most frustrating day as boss: "I don't know, it's not a frustration. It's a feeling of knowing how much we had put into it, to be where we are, that when you have a chance to take another step and then on Wednesday will have to be another one and then on Sunday another one - especially with the form Liverpool are in. It was a tough one to take, especially at home where we have been so consistent."

On Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo: "Unbelievable. Not only with [Nottingham Forest] but what he did at Wolves, it was incredible. Huge pride for him, the coaching staff, the club as well. What they have generated after coming into the Premier League is a remarkable story so well done to them."

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was asked about team news: "Bukayo [Saka] and Gabi [Martinelli] are progressing really well but it is still a bit far to come back."

And on the title race: "It was a very disappointing weekend. The previous 15 games we had won 10 and drawn five - exactly the same as Liverpool with exactly the same goal difference. So we have been extremely consistent over the last three months considering everything we have been through. We have generated that momentum and it was that weekend where we have to go again but we got a defeat. On top of that they [Liverpool] win.

"When you are trying to beat that momentum and we put so much into it with the circumstances that we have, it was a really hard one to take. The reality is there are so many games to play and you have to get back to it."

Arsenal

Now we go straight from Arne Slot to Mikel Arteta...

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Arne Slot on team news: "Alexis Mac Allister will train with us today. I think he is ok.

"Conor Bradley isn't ok. He is out for a few weeks. It is clear that he went off with a muscle injury and it will take a while before he is back."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Arne Slot on whether Mo Salah's form is making contract negotiations more difficult: "You can look at that in both ways because the better he does the more expensive he may become but if he was doing bad, we would be having second thoughts about extending his contract. I think for everyone it is the best that he brings in the performances he is now.

"Maybe for the one that has to pay him it isn't the best but for everyone else it is the best because if you want to play at this club you need to be at his level otherwise you are almost useless to play at this club.

"We only need players that are at the top of their game because this is one of the best if not the best club in the world to play for. He needs to have these performances to play here and hopefully to extend here."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Arne Slot on the difficulty of playing so many games in a short period of time and whether he will need to freshen the side up tomorrow: "I'm not so sure it is difficult because these players are trained for this and they are ready for this. They are in a certain rhythm and they have shown this season many times that they are able to but it was the reason that I changed the line-up so drastically against Plymouth because I don't think you can do this all season.

"You need once every four or five weeks, a normal week and what I mean by a normal week is two games a week, not three games a week. Of course, it hurt us in the FA Cup but it also means that these players are now able to play five games in a row at the highest possible level."

Liverpool, at this point, appear to be closer to claiming another Premier League title than they do sorting the contract situation of Mohamed Salah.

He, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold remain out of contract this summer and as things stands, all three will be able to leave Anfield on a free in a few months time.

Salah in particular continues to be the major talking point with his relentless goal scoring ability showing no sign of slowing down.

In the below clip, the Monday Night Club team give their thoughts on the ongoing negotiations between Liverpool and the Egyptian star.
