All the key lines from Friday's press conferences

Catch up with all the team news and main talking points from the Premier League managers’ media briefings.

Pep Guardiola (Man City)

On whether City will sign a replacement for Rodri in January: "We will talk, we will see what is going on. We have time to see. He had surgery this morning, ACL and some meniscus. So, next season he will be here. This season is over. "Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan can play in that position and John Stones too. We have alternatives."

On facing Newcastle United: "Newcastle are always impressive. Since Eddie Howe has been there, they are one of the toughest, strongest opponents, home and away but especially away. We are going ready for the battle."

Arne Slot (Liverpool)

On if goalkeeper Alisson is ready to return from injury: "We think he is. He trained yesterday part of our session, we expect him to do the whole session today."

On Saturday's opponents Wolverhampton Wanderers: "I’ve watched some of their games, they should have more points than they've got. They will be fine at the end of the season."

Ange Postecoglou (Spurs)

On keeping Son Heung-min and whether he will face Man Utd: "I don't always have the final say, but like to think my input is significant on it, but the way he's performing and leading the club we certainly want him to stick around for a while. "We've got another day up our sleeve to give him every chance."

Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)

On facing Guardiola last Sunday: "I love him, I respect him, I admire him and his team and everything that he does. This is sport and a personal relationship. If my relationship has to be damaged because one draws and the other one wins, then I wouldn’t talk to him anymore!"

On David Raya's chances of playing and injury latest ahead of Leicester match: “We have to wait 24 hours to see if he is looking good or not that good. It’s not risk, it is about a player being fit or available or not. We will make the decision tomorrow.
“Jurrien [Timber] was able to take part in training today so that's that's good news. He will be available in the squad, and Ben [White] hopefully as well.”

Unai Emery (Aston Villa)

On the impact of Jhon Duran and opponents Ipswich Town: “He’s evolving and focusing like I want. It’s my challenge to try to get the best of him, playing as a striker, playing with Ollie Watkins. The idea is they will play more together. They are playing very well. They’re [Ipswich] not getting points like they deserve, but they are being competitive."

Enzo Maresca (Chelsea)

On how he attempts to keep all his players happy: “You can only be honest with them. You can’t play with seven or eight attacking players, then there’s no defence! 
“It's important that when there is chance, even if it's five minutes, 10 minutes or half an hour or from the start, they give everything so it's important."

On squad availability to face Brighton: “Romeo [Lavia] is back available. We will see [whether he can start the game or be one of the substitutions]. We have one more session now and then we will decide. The important thing is he’s back and available, which is very good news.
“Everyone else is okay to face Brighton, the only one [who will be missing] is Reece [James]. With Reece, he is still out and there is no real update on him at the moment.”

Gary O'Neil (Wolves)

On squad being struck by a virus: "There's quite a bit of illness with players that will need a check," he said. "There's a virus going around and some players missed training today. When you are losing games it becomes tougher to win them. They are a resilient group."

Andoni Iraola (AFC Bournemouth)

On Monday's south coast derby against Southampton: "I'm sure that this is a game our supporters want to win, and their supporters probably feel the same way. It is a derby, a game that everybody always wants to win. Considering the standings, I think it is a very important game for us."

Eddie Howe (Newcastle)

On facing Erling Haaland: "His appetite for goals is incredible, I am a big admirer of his, his most stand-out attribute is his need to score. We've had some good battles against him before, a real collective defensive display is needed to stop him.

On Alexander Isak's injury: "Alex is still nursing that toe problem. He will be a doubt for tomorrow. He hasn’t trained yet so we will have to make a decision on him."

Kieran McKenna (Ipswich)

On the chances of Kalvin Phillips featuring: "Kalvin has trained with the group today so we'll make a judgement on how many minutes he's available for."

Thomas Frank (Brentford)

On bad luck with injuries: "We've been very unlucky, but that happens, it's part of football. You can be more hit by injuries than others. We need to work on how can we get them back to playing. How can we accelerate that process, which we are working on."

Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace)

On a possible first appearance for Trevoh Chalobah: “Trevoh will be win the squad, and he is available. Most other players are available."
