Michael Court: re Kyle on your website about Poch never winning a trophy. Yes LFC bought Alisson VVD & Fabinho. But they sold Coutinho to help fund it. Over last 5 yrs net spend about the same between LFC and THFC. Maybe they could have sold Kane to fund some purchases?

Southampton

Left-back Ryan Betrand is back following the three-match suspension he got from his red card in the 9-0 defeat by Leicester.

Boss Ralph Hasenhuttl said: "It's good to have him back. I have the whole squad available now and I can pick the XI that fits perfect the shape and the opponent we're playing against.

"In our job, the most important thing for everybody is to take results. That's what we're working for. If we can start fast we've shown that we are not easy to beat."

Southampton

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl feels that switching on in transition and fighting to win the ball back is crucial to his side's game.

He said: "We have to have a good trigger after we lose the ball, we have to win it back immediately. This is something we've been working on in the last two weeks. You could see we forgot a bit about this behaviour and it's a behaviour that made us strong so finding that again has been the main work over the last two weeks."

Southampton

Ralph Hasenhuttl added: "Against big opponents you have nothing to lose. If you go into a game, be brave and believe in yourselves then you have a big chance to get something.

"Arsenal have been struggling recently but at home they're strong. We must start better than last time there."

Southampton

Back at Bale's former club Southampton, Ralph Hasenhuttl has just said that everyone's returned fit after international duty.

He added: "We must look forward to the next game and we know we only have a chance at Arsenal if we have a good balance and get back to the basics from our game.

"The last few away games were OK and we want to show our fans again that we want to be competitive and take something (from the game)."

Here's more on the criticism that Gareth Bale has faced, with Spanish newspaper AS running a headline which reads "Bale gets in a hole".

Marca

Gareth Bale also features in today's gossip, with the Real Madrid forward being linked with a return to Tottenham after holding this flag as Wales celebrated qualifying for Euro 2020.

It reads "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order."

And this is how Spanish newspaper Marca responded today, with a front-page headline that reads: "Disrespectful. Wrong. Ungrateful. In that order."

Kyle: I think it was the wrong decision and Spurs should remember that it wasn't all great before Poch he has turned them into a top club. The only negative for him perhaps he lost some in the dressing room especially if these 3 now sign new contracts.

The Daily Mail

Arsenal manager Unai Emery is also under threat, with former defender Martin Keown telling the Mail, external that the Gunners should consider appointing Mauricio Pochettino.

After Pochettino became the second Premier League manager to be sacked this season, Southampton's Ralph Hasenhuttl is favourite to be axed next. His side are second-bottom and despite improving after that 9-0 home defeat by Leicester, they've still lost all three since. The Austrian is the next Premier League boss we're set to hear from today.

The Sun

Back-to-back wins for Newcastle eased the pressure on Steve Bruce but with Mauricio Pochettino being sacked by Tottenham, could it spark a managerial merry-go-round?

According to the Sun,, external Barcelona and Bayern Munich are ready to make a move for Pochettino.

That's one of the top stories in today's gossip

Newcastle United

Steve Bruce was in charge of Villa for almost two years before leaving the club in October 2018, with Dean Smith then leading the team to promotion via the Championship play-offs.

Bruce said: “I had the privilege to manage there and you’re always disappointed with the way it ends. I thought I would have demanded more time but that wasn’t the case. It’s a great club with big tradition and history but I want to go back and beat them.

“The difference in a couple of weeks with a couple of wins is remarkable," he added. "They’re bouncing around the place and training has been as lively as it has been. We’ve got one or two knocks but we’ve got one or two getting back so let’s hope we can keep the run going.”

Kyle: Those that say Spurs never won a trophy under Poch talk rubbish. He has spent next to nothing compared to other big 6 sides. He didn't go out and bring in 4 fullbacks for 200 million or Van Dijk, Allison and Fabinho. Had he done Spurs would have won something too.

Newcastle United

Paraguay forward Miguel Almiron is still waiting for his first Newcastle...but it's not for the want of trying.

Boss Steve Bruce said: “He’s got two in three in internationals. I thought he was sensational against Bournemouth. I’ve never seen anybody in 20 years cover the distance and play with the intensity he does. It’ll come because he’s a multi-talented player. If he scores one it’ll open up.”

Newcastle United

Defenders Florian Lejeune and Fabian Schär are both back in contention for Newcastle after injury although winger Matt Ritchie will probably have to wait at least another week.

Boss Steve Bruce said: “Lejeune and Schär have trained the past two weeks so they come into the reckoning. The big one is Flo because he’s been out so long but he’s ready to go and the same goes for Fab. As long as they come through the next two or three days unscathed."

On Ritchie, Bruce added: “It’s still ongoing. He went to see his specialist again yesterday. It’s a difficult one because he was so close a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately had a setback. It’s difficult and frustrating for him."

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has now spoken to the media about having to wait till Monday night to get back in action after the international break.

“It is what it is," he said. "I think over the years we’ve got used to playing on a Monday night, Friday night, Sunday morning – whatever it is. It gives everyone a chance to get over the knocks and niggles that they’ve had.

“Where we’ve got one or two back fit we’ve maybe lost one or two with the internationals but that’s how it is. Ciaran Clark is our biggest worry. After coming on for Ireland he’s got a knock so we’ll see how he is.”
