Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi on Nottingham Forest: "Forest are a very good team. They have good players and a very tough atmosphere at a historic stadium. We're not winning in the league but we're playing better than a month ago. This is the start of a crucial period, we will try to be competitive in every game."

Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi on his comment about "hating 80% of England's referees": "I have always respected everyone, especially referees. I'm sorry for the controversy but for sure I will say my opinion while respecting everyone. I love talking honestly. Wherever I work, I will say my opinion – I think it's my right."

Chelsea

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino on Newcastle: "We have a team that is going to be really strong and tough, it is a team that has built for the Champions League which is our aim for next season. Which is why it is going to be tough."

On whether Christopher Nkunku finds his way into the starting XI once fit: "He is going to find massive competition as his team-mates are ahead of him over the last four months. He needs to find his best form and level to compete with those players.

"In Chelsea the expectation is always maximum. But we all need to understand with the injury he is going to need time and we need to be patient with him.

"He needs not only to recover but learn the league and culture. So it will take time to perform in his space."

On Reece James' fitness: "He is doing well and improving every day. We hope he can cope with 90 minutes."

On the rise of Cole Palmer: "We were talking in the last few weeks in how we need to keep our players at their best. We need to push them every day to keep them outside of their comfortable zone. To push him and players every day in their uncomfortable zone.

"That’s why we sign him as we really believe in him.

"Man City won the Premier League and Champions League and it's never easy when they win that. Maybe its easier for him to settle here."

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on how much the game against Manchester City will tell him about their title chances: "We are not perfect, we saw that, the last Premier League game, was ours to lose. We were not good there, I made a lot of changes, it was really on my responsibility but still we were not good against Luton, we could've won the game.

"A lot of games we were good and deserved what we got. With 10 men we were outstanding, these kind of things are all us. It's not a test on how close we get to City, it's just a really super exciting game, I would watch it wherever on the planet.

"We have to prepare for it properly and we know we have to be at our best to get a chance. We will see."

Chelsea

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino on Saturday's trip to Newcastle: "Levi Colwill is going to be in the squad but Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku are out. They are both in good condition, Nkunku is a little bit ahead of Lavia, he was doing things with the group, but still not full recovery to be part of the squad.

"It was nice to see Wesley Fofana run on the grass. It was good motivation and it is good that he can start to feel the grass."

Asked if there was a possibility he could have managed Newcastle in the past, he replied: "No, it was never a possibility. No one contacted me."

On his side's form: "We were not consistent in the first period of this competition, I tried to think why. We are good against teams like Arsenal and Liverpool and struggle to compete with teams with less quality than us that play in a different way.

"That is all part of the process, we are a young team that started working four months ago. I want to me mature."

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Everton's 10-point deduction: "I was not in the subject to be honest, did I know there was a point deduction? No I just heard about it and the 10 points. I heard they appealed it and that's it. Everybody would do that, probably. That's all I can say about it."

On Alexis Mac Allister playing as a six against Man City: "I don't know the line-up at this moment, we have to talk to a lot of people before I make that. I understand that from the outside world it's always about a player in this position, in that position, but in the end it's about how the team is set up.

"Has football developed in the last year in directions we could not have imagined? Yes, Does that mean that a player like Alexis can play a six? Definitely, depending on how the team defends. If you can do that properly then you have an incredible player in the central position who can find positions and is a forward thinking player. I like him there and we as a team we can benefit from it, if we make sure we have a real compact formation and that's what we need, especially tomorrow."

On football developing over the years: "Football teams are coached much better, we can play different systems, teams are much better organised in position, analysis is much better. To surprise a player is impossible now. in details, the game has changed massively."

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on the key factors in his side which has allowed them to be a point behind Man City: "We needed to get the points. With City, I don't know 100% but they got a point here, a point there, stuff like this, unexpected ones. That's the quality they have, the desire to win the next one that's pretty special. They are in the game, the opponent had to fight extremely hard.

"We had to change and we had to improve and that was a real challenge, we had famously, in the last few years, had new players come in and had to take a while to settle. Our boys here are still really young and the other boys who came in had to step in immediately. The luck we had was a proper pre-season, next summer will be completely different. We worked together to find ourselves a bit quicker. To create a new team and dynamic, it helps to overcome difficulties, you want to create them and give them a physical job, and when they overcome this, they do it together.

"We needed luck there as well, we had it, the boys deserve it and that gave us direction, our development goes in the right direction.

"Man City are who they are and they're extremely strong and we have to be as strong as possible."

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag on their improved recent form: "We have seen a turning point. We have built on certain foundations.

"We are looking forward with confidence. There are no easy games for anyone - every team will drop points. Of the last five [Premier League] games, we have won four and that gives us confidence."

On facing Everton, after the Toffees' 10-point deduction: "I can see the opposition and I can see they are mad.

"If they are mad and that's their fuel, we have to match those standards. When we match the standards we have a very good chance to win the game."

Manchester City

Man City boss Pep Guardiola on City's injury problems: "We have a few problems, The same as many clubs. We will see in the training session and we will see tomorrow. At 18:00 GMT I will know for sure which players I will have tomorrow. Always it's plan A."

On the title race: "Honestly, I could not expect to be in this position at the start of the season. We have five teams so tight, but we are there. It's an important game but there's more to come."

Everton

More from Everton boss Sean Dyche on their 10-point deduction: "I think I follow the club's words. I don't know every inch of the club's past, or the commission. But I certainly believe in what the club put forward.

"It's disproportionate, it feels like it's unjust. And there's plenty of voices out there that feel the same.

"That said, what's done is done for now - appeal pending - so we have to get on with it. That's just the simple facts."

Tottenham Hotspur

More from Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou: "Obviously the last two results haven't been great. I guess my point is, we're at the beginning of trying to build something.

"At the early stages you've got to stay focused on that and the kind of football we want to play and what we want to be.

"We can't let our short-term results, good or bad, influence how we're going.

"People will always question and scrutinise my approach, or our approach. I understand that. It's not about me trying to convince people, it's more about making sure internally, the players and staff, are staying on course."

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Mo Salah's scoring record for the club and whether he can improve: "Of course he can improve, but that's all about consistency. We ask for it from him and he expects it from us. Of course he can [improve] but its not really about that, it's about how he gained that experience over the years, that he knows more about the game. Now the experience and dealing with situations, he's a completely different player.

"It's really good that his team-mates look up to him and he's really supportive of them, and having still this desire to score, it makes him who he is and that makes him special. Long may it continue."

On Salah's partnership with Darwin Nunez: "You can't become a Liverpool player if you are not really football smart, that's why with Darwin and Mo its clicking, they have a different way of play. Generally from the beginning, Mo supports the boys. Darwin came here with big expectations and Mo understood the most and wanted to help him. That for sure was the start of a special partnership."

Everton

Everton manager Sean Dyche on team news for Sunday's match: "Amadou Onana, with his calf, I don't think it will be right. He's still sore.

"Ben Godfrey, Seamus Coleman and Michael Keane all played in midweek, that's good, getting them some minutes.

"When you've had a long-term injury, that 90 minutes is the final marker really. It's good for them to get as many minutes away along with the lads getting minutes on international duty.

"Andre Gomes is back on the grass. He's had a very frustrating season. He just needs some games.

"And Dele Alli, it's good to see him back on the grass. We're still tentative at the moment with the sports science side of things. He's joined in a couple of warm-ups so he's just feeling himself back in. It will be really pleasing if we can get him back."

Luke Shaw will be in the Manchester United squad for Sunday's game at Everton.

The England left-back has been out since August with a muscle injury.

Goalkeeper Andre Onana is fit for the game at Goodison Park after a knock on international duty, while striker Rasmus Hojlund will be assessed tomorrow.

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on players returning from international break: "We have 12 different players, they all came back from the international break. The decision to play players, I will have to wait until training. I can talk to them, figure out who is ready to start and who is better to bring on [later in the game].

"They've all, nearly all, had a good international break. You want to use them as often as possible. But if its possible, I don’t know at the moment."

On the rivalry with Manchester City: "The rivalry I don’t know, you’ll have to ask people. For us in a sports point of view its one of the difficult games you can play since years, since I've been here probably. From a football point of view we needed some time to become rivals on the pitch."

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been talking about his club facing 115 Premier League charges in the wake of Everton's 10-point deduction last week.

Guardiola says the two cases are 'completely different' and they cannot be compared.

He was then asked if there was a punishment so great he would walk away from City.

"You're questioning me like we have been punished," he said. "At the moment, we're innocent.

"There is more chance I will stay if we are in League One than if we win the Champions League."

Manchester City

Man City boss Pep Guardiola on City facing 115 Premier League charges and their innocence: "Why should I not believe? It's the lawyers to make the defence in front of the judge. I didn't change my opinion, we wait and after we accept the resolutions.

On Everton's 10-point deduction: "I'm not going to say one word about Everton because I don't know the reality of what happened. They are two completely different cases. I know people are saying why don't City go to the Conference but let's wait.

"It's two different cases, it's not the same. One of them is longer, it's more complicated."

Manchester City

Man City boss Pep Guardiola on the fitness of Erling Haaland before his side's game with Liverpool: "He's trained so hopefully [he can play]."

On the recent rivalry with Jurgen Klopp's side: "I think we are all friends. Time goes forward, eight years with Liverpool and not the same team as the start. They are similar of course.

"Trent Alexander-Arnold can play inside now but the ideas are similar. Always they've been our best rivals.

"Top club, top team, I#m looking forward to it. Every compliment to Liverpool and Manchester City to still be here."

Everton

More from Everton boss Sean Dyche on their 10-point deduction: "I spoke to the group and said 'look the league table is a thing'. I don't change my story often, I've always believed the final league table is the truth of the season. I'm not going to change that now.

"It changes the viewpoint but it doesn't change what we're doing. In fact it enhances what we're doing. We've just got to go harder for longer and stronger. This is what it is.

"It's been more about refocus than anything. The group have been really good I must say. The characters we've got. Seamus Coleman is a good voice. Ashley Young has excellent experience. James Tarkowski, Jordan Pickford, all the senior boys are rallying.

"It is what it is, let's get on with it. There have been plenty of challenges since I've got here. This is the next one."

Everton

Everton manager Sean Dyche has been speaking in a news conference before his side face Manchester United on Sunday and on their 10-point deduction:

"I think like everyone in these parts is, we're shocked. Seemingly the wave of noise after that was most people in football were shocked.

"The enomority of it. Disproportinate is a word that has been used by the club.

"Obviously we're going to feel aggrieved by that. On the other hand it doesn't change the focus. The focus since I've been here has been about sorting things out on the pitch.

"Getting the team to win, getting the team to feel different, performances to be different. We were obviously on the right lines for that and delivering strong performances I felt.

"This has given us a push backwards to come forwards again. The job hasn't changed for me. It's obviously made it a bit more difficult until the appeal of course."
