Pablo Zableta has announced his retirement from professional football.

The former Manchester City right-back, who won two Premier Leagues, an FA Cup and two League Cups with the Blues, has been without a club since being released by West Ham at the end of last season.

The Argentine says he has created "unique and unforgettable" memories.

We're still waiting for more news on whether West Ham will be able to resolve an issue that has arisen around the £25m transfer of Algeria winger Said Benrahma from Brentford.

But if you click here you can see all the deals that have so far been confirmed today. The deadline for EFL transfers and deals between Premier League and EFL clubs is 17:00 BST.

Sheffield Wednesday have signed Derby County forward Jack Marriott and Cardiff City defender Aden Flint on loan for the rest of the season.

Marriott, 26, has scored once in six appearances for the Rams this term.

He scored Derby's goal in their 2-1 Championship play-off final loss to Aston Villa in May 2019, having netted twice in the 4-2 semi-final second-leg win at Leeds United.

Centre-back Flint, 31, has not played for Cardiff since before lockdown.

West Ham United

West Ham boss David Moyes on the recent discussions surrounding the Premier League.

"I certainly don't agree with Project Big Picture because I'm someone who's really close to glassroots football," he said.

"I've worked and played through all the lower leagues. I've now managed top teams and I've seen the other side of it - it can't always be the top clubs looking after the smaller clubs."

Leicester City

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers also confirmed that James Maddison (hip) is in contention to feature in some capacity, while Jamie Vardy (calf), Jonny Evans (abdominal) and Dennis Praet (knee) will be assessed again before Sunday's game.

Wilfred Ndidi (adductor) and Ricardo Pereira (ACL) remain out for the Foxes.

Leicester City

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has said that he could hand a debut to French defender Wesley Fofana against Aston Villa, after signing the 19-year-old from Saint-Etienne before the international break.

"I've got no qualms about Wesley coming in to play," said Rodgers. "We’ve brought him in because he’s a big talent but he’s ready to play now."

Centre-half Caglar Soyuncu picked up an abductor strain while with Turkey in the international break and is still being assessed.

"We think that he is definitely out for a number of weeks, but until we get the final scans, that will determine the length of time," Rodgers added.

Blackburn are keen on signing Liverpool winger Harvey Elliott on loan. The Reds are willing to let the 17-year-old move to the Championship side and a decision is set to come down to the player.

Elliott's one appearance for Jurgen Klopp's side this season came in the 7-2 EFL Cup win at Lincoln.

Reds forward Ben Woodburn, 21, is set for a loan move to League One side Blackpool, who are managed by former Liverpool Under-23s boss Neil Critchley.

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has confirmed that new goalkeeper Edouard Mendy will not be fit for Saturday's game.

Defender Thiago Silva will not be considered after playing for Brazil during the international break but Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic are in the Blues' squad.

Lampard added that winger Ziyech is not ready to start but he hopes to give the summer signing some minutes.

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard said that he is pleased his injured players are coming back to fitness but says we still have a lot of work to do to develop understandings with the new players coming in.

Asked whether defender Antonio Rudiger can play himself back into the team after being linked with a move before the transfer deadline, Lampard emphasised that is possible for all his players.

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was also asked about the problems facing English football due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"I want the best for English football," he said. "I don’t have an opinion [on Project Big Picture]. I have not listened to the hypotheticals.

"The towns, the villages - they love their teams and that is the point. I am pretty sure they will find the best solution for football itself."

Liverpool

Finally from Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager also spoke about the divisive Project Big Picture.

"A lot of times in life there has to be a crisis to start talking - not necessarily a virus but a crisis - and this time I am really happy that people now talk about it," he said.

"It's not like I was involved, but I can say all the people I know who were involved are concerned about football.

"There are things we can improve and I really think if you always have to improve them now before you see the real problems in the future - that is what these people tried to do.

"I think when the process keeps on going and people are talking about it then it is very positive."

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been ruminating on facing his former assistant and current Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

"We should clarify who is the master and who is the apprentice. We didn’t have any doubts about what he is doing in a short period of time," Guardiola said.

"He settled really well and the way his team is playing right now is perfect for the quality they have. He was able to get Arsenal back to the position they were a long time ago.

"He’s doing really well in all competitions and Mikel is a competitor and a fighter and all the people who love him are more than happy with what he is doing in London."

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has offered a fitness update on Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero.

And he will have to manage without a senior striker against Arsenal as Gabriel Jesus is also out.

"Kevin is out unfortunately but the rest of the players came back well. I don’t think it is much but he will be out for the next games I think. Sergio is training well and we are happy," Guardiola said.

"Every team needs a striker and we played without them. He has been training good and we’re happy to see him back on the pitch after a long time.

"Everyone came back [from the international break] a little bit better than the previous time because then Cancelo, Bernardo [Silva] and others were injured and couldn’t play at the beginning of the season.

"There are injuries to some muscles where you can take a risk, but there are others where you cannot. He [Jesus] has an injury in the part of his leg where if he injured it more he could be out for a long, long time."

Liverpool

Liverpool will come up against a much-improved Everton side, which has been boasted by some shrewd signings over the summer by boss Carlo Ancelotti.

"You don't need to be a manager to see they have done good business. Carlo is a sensational manager," said Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

"When he has time to build, that is what he will do. This team looks really good. Of course, it is a proper challenger

"We have to be ready for each of these games and tomorrow - in not even 24 hours - we can show that."

Liverpool

Everton go into this Saturday's Merseyside derby as the unbeaten Premier League leaders while defending champions Liverpool are hoping to bounce back from an embarrassing 7-2 defeat at Aston Villa.

“Is it bigger because of Covid? I don’t know," said Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

"This game is as important as ever but not more. That’s it.

"It's 10 years for them, long may it continue from my point of view," Klopp added.

"But we've never once thought about it. We've never had that in our mind. We will be ready."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has now spoken to the media and given a fitness update on Sadio Mane and Thiago.

"We assess every day and have specific measurements if they are more fatigued than normal so both look really good. We would never risk them. They're ready," said Klopp.

Klopp added that goalkeeper Alisson is recovering well but midfielder Naby Keita won't be fit for Saturday's Merseyside derby.

"Ali looks really good," said the Reds' boss. "It's very positive and he made big steps. There's no time-frame but he looks really good. Naby is not ready, but apart from that, they all came back healthy."

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has been asked about Spurs' transfer window, and if he got all his targets.

"Almost, but with us coaches it's always about almost. Even with my analysis I didn't expect us to go as far we did," he said.

"I can only praise the board for what they did for the team and I can see in the players that feeling I love that they are happy but worried.

"They can see the squad getting better but they're worried about whether they'll play or not. That's the feeling I love to see and big clubs have that."
