We have heard from Stoke manager Mark Hughes but here is what West Brom boss Tony Pulis had to say ahead of their match on Sunday.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe on potential signings: "You're always judging the squad on training and matches. We don't feel any need to add to it currently.

"The positive thing from the week is that several players played well. So I'll have to think hard about the team I pick."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe on their 2-1 EFL Cup victory over Birmingham: "Whenever you win a game, you get a good feeling no matter what the competition.

"It was good to see us score and we created a number of chances against Birmingham so that was good to see.

"We need to make sure that this weekend with the quality of opposition we fight well."

That's all from Mark Hughes for now but we will bring you team news when we get it.

Heading down south now and to Bournemouth...

The Potters beat Arsenal 1-0 last Saturday where loan signing Jese Rodriguez, who has joined from PSG, enjoyed a dream start to his Stoke City career by scoring the winner against the Gunners.

"Credit to Jese for being able to make an impact on his debut against the level of opposition we faced. We are really pleased with him".

After the game, this photo of the two celebrating Stoke fans happily tumbling down the steps of the bet365 Stadium went viral...

What did Hughes have to say about these chaps?

"It was a great photo of the two fans on the steps last weekend! It illustrated the passion and emotion of our fans."

(Passion, emotion and a few pre-match shandies boys???)

Hughes is asked - as all managers are at this time of year, if he is looking to bring players in to boost his squad.

"We may well look at making further signings before the deadline but I won't say yes we definitely will. We remain hopeful though.

"We looked at a number of areas but the defensive positions is one where we needed to strengthen and done really well.

"There may possibly be departures but we will have to wait and see. There is interest in some of our players."

Mark Hughes: "We like to think we can go to West Brom and get a decent result. It's usually a tight game but hopefully we come out with a positive result.

"We view it as a tough fixture just like many other sides. In previous seasons we haven't performed so hopefully that changes.

"I don't think Darren Fletcher will be fazed by returning to The Hawthorns at the weekend. (The midfielder signed on a free transfer on a two-year deal.)

Stoke will be at The Hawthorns on Sunday, and face, a so-far, in-form West Brom who have taken six points from their first two games.

What does Mark Hughes have to say about the Potter's prospects...?

It's Fridaaayyy.

And you know what that means?

Wine?

Yes, but also, plenty of Premier League manager news conferences, starting with Mark Hughes at Stoke so let's get on with it.
