Following the dismissal of Francesco Guidolin at Swansea, Antonio Conte dismisses suggestion that there is more pressure on managers in the Premier League.

Antonio Conte with thoughts on N'Golo Kante, who faces his former club tomorrow: "He is an important player.

"We are very pleased to have him. He has good stamina, good technique and personality. I like players who put the team above himself." 

Antonio Conte on fellow Italian Claudio Ranieri, the Leicester boss: "I was very happy, not only me but the Italian people that Claudio won a fantastic title. 

"He had a great celebration in Italy. He is a good manager, a good man and I have a good relationship with him. Always it is a pleasure for me to talk with him."

Antonio Conte confirms John Terry has recovered from injury but does not say if he will be in the starting XI against champions Leicester. "I prefer not to give away the line-up. I'll try to take the best decision for the team."

More from Boro boss Aitor Karanka on opponents Watford, who are two points and five places ahead of them. "They have one more season of experience in the Premier League than us, so it will be tough," he says. "We have to be 100%.

"Watford had an amazing season last year, they had safety very early - and now they have more experience.

"We have to keep learning and adding experience, as we have the quality to succeed in this league."

More from Sunderland boss David Moyes on his growing injury list. "It’s part of football and every football club has injuries so you’re always looking to see why you have them, but ours have all been in games, whereas if it happened in training you can look at what you’re doing and the amount.

"That’s the one good thing about it – it is nothing we’re doing at the training ground – but it’s a problem that we’re getting injuries because we don’t have a strong enough squad to cope with our better players being out of the team."
