Well that was a lot quieter, and calmer. More football, than flim-flam. 

Jurgen Klopp didn't sound confident that striker Daniel Sturridge will make a return on Sunday for the visit of Southampton. Exclusive national radio commentary on @5live sport.

He also confirmed that the FA had been in touch following his criticism of them over Jordan Rossiter's hamstring injury. Klopp had accused the FA of treating young players like horses.

"I need to learn sometimes to use other words for things," the German said. "We will have a talk in the next few days. Of course I was not happy with the situation but I could have informed them before I talked to you."

Remember when Ellen DeGeneres tweeted that mass selfie with all those Hollywood stars?, external

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has possible trumped her, with a selfie with none other than China president Xi Jingping and UK prime minister David Cameron at City's training ground. 

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana says successive draws in new manager Jurgen Klopp's first two matches have added a dose of realism to temper fans' sky-high expectations.

"It was never going to just change overnight," said Lallana.

"Maybe the reaction to him coming in was a bit over the top but he's a great manager who has had great success. He's asking people to do different things to what they were used to so it will take a bit of time."

City’s news conference has been moved from the City Football Academy to the Etihad Stadium to allow for the visit of Chinese president Xi Jinping. 

Rumour has it the Chinese leader is a Manchester United fan, making his visit to City a political tightrope that he’ll have to navigate carefully on derby weekend.

The Blues are still without Sergio Aguero ahead of the trip to Old Trafford, even though the Argentine striker is back training. But they could be buoyed by the return of Gael Clichy, Fabian Delph and maybe most importantly David Silva. 

We're expecting Manuel Pellegrini at 12:45 BST...

South Africa's rugby team visited Chelsea's training ground on Thursday, so Blues' managerJose Mourinhowas asked at Friday's news conference which player he would have in his team.

He said: "You don't get from good and funny headlines from me. I'm going to treat your bosses they way they treat me. In football, I'm willing to accept every critic. My private life and stupid things like that you bring to the light I don't like it. We go to a different level of professional relationship."

And that was the end of the news conference.  

Chelsea head of communications Steve Atkins earlier interrupted the conference and stated that the Blues were dealing with reports concerningMourinho and incidents with fans., external

Jurgen Klopp on Daniel Sturridge and strike partnerships: "We have to see day-by-day. If he can train tomorrow he's an option. He will have more treatment today because there is still some fluid on his knee.   

"I'm not sure in this moment if we will play two strikers on Sunday but it's an option for the future."

Manager Jose Mourinho on back-to-back clean sheets: "It's important, but it's about the way the team played to get the clean sheets. It wasn't based on super keeping displays - it was good team work." 

Jurgen Klopp on his players' performance against Rubin Kazan:  "I saw many things we did in training in the game. I didn't expect we'd run through the league from the moment I got here. 

"We have to decide better when to shoot or pass. We have to be better in the box."

Jose Mourinho on Saturday's opponents West Ham: "Look at the table. See where they are. See where we are. It's easy to make conclusions."

West Ham are fourth, Chelsea are 12th. What conclusion do you draw?

More fromJurgen Klopp,in what we are told is a much calmer news conference than his previous few...

"I don't think we will make the same mistakes twice.I saw lots of good things [in the 1-1 Europa League draw with Rubin Kazan]. It's one more experience and the next game is waiting. 

"I'm not sure in this moment if we will play two strikers on Sunday but it's an option for the future."

Jose Mourinho is addressing the media...

He starts by talking about playing on Saturday having played in Ukraine on Tuesday: "If it's not an easy week. And it's better you have one more day than the 48 hours we had before going to Kiev."

Women's team qualifying is under way in Glasgow - and there has been disappointment before lunchtime.

The Romania team were early starters but their star Larisa Iordache had a patchy session, falling on uneven bars and beam and she will definitely not qualify for the final of her favoured floor exercise as her score of 13.766 leaves her behind two compatriots - and only two per nation can progress.

She still tops individual qualifying with 55.698, but there are lots and lots of gymnasts to come.

So how are England doing in response to Pakistan's 378 all out?

Well, better than they were about an hour ago.

They are 74-2 having lost two very early wickets. Alastair Cook and Joe Root looking solid.
