    Everton v Arsenal (Tues, 19:45 GMT)

    Ronald Koeman says "it's not about last Saturday" (the 3-2 defeat at Watford) because "there is no time to wait and look back" with Arsenal coming to Goodison on Tuesday night.

    He does suggest that his players "don't have that physicality" to deal with the approach of Watford and "win the battles".

    We need to resolve problems - Koemanpublished at 13:07 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2016

    Everton v Arsenal (Tues, 19:45 GMT)

    Everton boss Ronald Koeman is facing the media now and is asked about his team's poor form, which has seen them win only one of their past 10 games.

    "We need to resolve the problems now - that's all about the commitment and the players.

    "If I am an Evertonian, I will also be disappointed with the last 10 games. That's not what we need to do. That's under-performing."

    Jurgen Klopp's side have been shipping goals recently, two yesterday and four the weekend before.

    "It’s quite difficult to work on free kicks or deflected balls. In most situations, we have been good in defending," he said.

    "Yesterday we had a little bit of a problem, there is a clear rule, the boys are responsible for the good things and the bad things.

    "I remember my meeting and it was about striking back, then we were really too offensive, no protection."

    A quick turnaround by Jose Mourinho, who has chosen to preview Wednesday's trip to Crystal Palace the day after his side beat Tottenham.

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan's injury, a Europa League draw against Saint-Etienne, going head-to-head with Alan Pardew and a push for a top four place may be on the agenda.

    On the other hand, Mourinho may wish to talk about something else entirely.

    Loris KariusImage source, Rex Features

    Jurgen Klopp was hoping Loris Karius would adapt to his skills of 'close your ears' after the criticism he received last week. 

    But the Liverpool keeper has been on the receiving end of even more flak with plenty of pundits having their say following yesterday's result against West Ham United. 

    Questions about the 23-year-old are bound to crop up again at today's news conference to preview Wednesday's trip to Middlesbrough, but it would be a big call to replace him having made it clear Karius is the Liverpool number one.

    Depending on Dejan Lovren's fitness we don't expect too many changes. Daniel Sturridge is still not available.

    Veering away from all that European excitement for a second, there are plenty more Premier League press conferences to come this afternoon.

    Around 13:00 GMT we're expecting to hear from Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and Ronald Koeman with their sides all in Premier League action this week.

    Steve Coppell scored the last time the sides met

    Saint-Etienne will pay their first visit to Old Trafford for the Europa League last-32 encounter with Manchester United in February.

    It won't be the first time the French side have played United though.

    The two sides were paired together in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1977.

    But trouble at the first-leg meant the second match was switched after Uefa said it had to be played at least 200 miles from United's home ground.

    Plymouth's Home Park was chosen to host the game, which United won 2-0 thanks to goals from Stuart Pearson and Steve Coppell.

    Well, perhaps the most interesting thing to come out of Manchester United's tie against St-Etienne, and perhaps the draw as a whole, is the potential meeting of the Pogba brothers.

    Paul, of course, plays for Jose Mourinho's outfit while older brother Florentin is a defender for the French side.
