Burnley manager Vincent Kompany on being without suspended Josh Cullen: "It's the same as with Lyle [Foster] and other players, you're kind of hoping someone else steps up and takes over responsibility."

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany on injuries: "At the moment there are still no signs of improvement [with Lyle Foster]. The only thing I can more or less say is he probably won't be available before the international break and its something we have to deal with.

"I don't think I can go into too many details now, but I'm sure next week we can discuss it further.

"[Aaron] Ramsey has felt OK. It's not a classic hamstring thing, it's just a knock.

"[Jordan] Bayer is really positive. He has been training well. [Hjalmar] Ekdal is slowly getting there. I can't tell you if he'll be match-fit before the international break.

"They are just freak injuries, it's nothing we've been doing in training. I think both just twisted their knees."

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany on whether there has been a psychological barrier to playing at home: "No. I hope it's a lift for us, it has always been massive."

The Clarets have lost all five games at Turf Moor so far this season.

Burnley

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany on whether the feeling of staying up this season will top the feeling of winning promotion from the Championship last season: "Nothing was comfortable about last season. We had so many games crammed in and 20 new players coming in. It wasn't comfortable, but it was nice.

"This season, I think it would be of equal order [as getting promoted] because it's a necessary step for the club in terms of growing in this league.

"Staying up is not just a way of saying 'this is what you will be doing for 10 years', but it's about growing. This year is by far the hardest."

Burnley

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany on whether he has spoken with the PGMOL after a controversial VAR call in the loss against Bournemouth: "I have to put that behind me. I don't want to constantly be putting ourselves in the victim situation.

"I want to highlight there are open conversations. There is discussion and the chance to maybe change some perspectives.

"At this time it has been a succession of events we could do without but we have to move on to the next game and try to get the rewards tomorrow."

Burnley

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany on the strength of the Premier League: "Since I left the league as a player four years ago, I think the bar has been raised.

"The teams we would be competing with at the moment, If we're serious about staying up, would be Nottingham Forest and maybe Bournemouth because they are the teams next up from us in the league.

"If you look at the investment that the teams at the bottom are putting in, that wouldn't have been the case when I was playing in the league.

"It's great for the level of the league but it means your first year in the Premier League is probably tougher. It means it won't be easy but if you get over that hurdle you can put distance between yourselves and the teams coming up."

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany on veteran Palace boss Roy Hodgson: "I've been looking at his history as a coach. He's been through so many countries and he has such a huge knowledge of the world.

"I can see why he's still doing it and why he still has passion. I have a father at a similar age and he's still as active as Roy."

Now let's hear from Burnley manager Vincent Kompany on facing Crystal Palace: "Every game you have to have a frame of mind where you believe you are going to produce a performance to get a result.

"Sometimes a quick turnaround is not such a bad thing. Since yesterday, it has been a full focus on Crystal Palace."

The Clarets lost 3-0 at Everton in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

Newcastle United

And finally from Eddie Howe, the Newcastle manager had this to say on his side's EFL Cup win at Manchester United: "It was great to be able to give everyone an opportunity and I thought they responded magnificently.

"It was a brilliant team effort. I thought the spirit, determination and collective mindset was at the highest level.

"We are in a good place mentally after the win. The whole squad will be lifted by that performance."

Newcastle United

On Joe Willock after he scored in the midweek win at Manchester United, Eddie Howe added: "I think Joe deserves a lot of credit for his performance because his athleticism, his speed and his general game was there after a long absence. He was making runs from the first minute. He is a huge player for us, I am so glad he scored. That would have done him the world of good."

Newcastle United

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on Matt Targett's injury after he came off early against Manchester United in midweek: "It doesn’t look good. He is having his scan today so we will know more today. When you have a hamstring injury you fear the worst. It is a real blow to lose him - he is a top player."

Newcastle United

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has also spoken to the media before their game on Saturday: "Arsenal last year, it speaks for itself what they achieved.

"I think they have moved on from last year, mentally moved on and stepped it up. They are unbeaten, it is a really big test of our credentials.

"We are going to have to find ways to make it very difficult for them but we are looking forward to the game."

Luton apparently don't get spanked at home - that's what Statman Dave tells me anyway.

I am not convinced, because I remember when they played Tottenham at Kenilworth Road at the start of October, and Spurs could have been about 4-0 up in the first 15 minutes.

To be fair to the Hatters, they are making the best fist of life in the top flight out of all the promoted teams, but I don't see them coping with Liverpool's array of attacking talent. Sutton's prediction: 0-3.

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Stefan Bajcetic's fitness: "His quality, potential and talent - everyone can see. But everyone has a different body and we just had to put the brakes on him. There is no timeframe we can put on his return and we absolutely won't.

"He's here training and working but we have to help him get the body and we know he has the quality."

"With Thiago, it's an ongoing thing. We aren't putting pressure on him but we expect him back in the New Year. We can't wait to have him back, he's an exceptional player."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on making a strong start to the season: "I'm really positive about the team but it is so early [in the season].

"There are so many good teams out there. It's not about celebrating the moment and being relieved that we can play football again, it's about using the full potential of the group."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Cody Gakpo: "Since Cody has been here, he has played many positions. He had to play in midfield but that was never the plan, we just had to do it.

"He is a versatile striker and arrives into the box well. He's a top player and a good character.

"All the boys like each other. It's not a competition, they like to be together. If one doesn't start they know they have a chance to come on and kill the game off."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Luis Diaz: "We will not force the Luis [Diaz] situation. It's out of our hands, we are just waiting for good news.

"He was in training two days ago, yesterday he did a session, and he will be part of the team.

"If he feels right, he will train with us. When he's with the boys he's fine but you can tell he hasn't slept a lot. We will wait to see how he is and go from there.

"The news - I didn't personally get from Colombia, I always get it forwarded - but everything that gives us a bit of hope is good. We are waiting for really good news."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on playing at Kenilworth Road: "I heard about it but I haven't seen it yet. It's a ground I haven't been to and I'm looking forward to it.

"I've heard the dressing room isn't massive, but we only need to get changed and then it's a football match.

"I love [Luton's] story. I don't think anyone expected them to get promoted last season and they did an exceptional job.

"They want to get everything out of this season and go point by point. It will be difficult because it's their ground."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on the challenge of playing newly-promoted Luton: "It's important to know as much as possible about an opponent before a game. Then the game starts and you have to do the necessary stuff.

"We will probably face a low block. It's not the first time we've had to deal with that and we need to try to overcome it."

Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has been nominated for Player of the Month after scoring five goals in three games in October. On Liverpool rejecting a bid for the Egypt forward in the summer, boss Jurgen Klopp said: "Mo Salah is here. He never told me he wanted to go and I didn't think a second about it.

"He is here and feels extremely well. He is in great shape on the pitch and he's in even better shape off the pitch, he's really positive.

"He enjoys the company with the boys and wants to maximise the potential."
