GUNNERS EYEING UP GAINS - Can Arsenal keep the title race alive?

00:57

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot:

On not being on the touchline: “The good thing is you can be in the dressing room pre-match and half-time. Ideally, I would have been on the line but even when I’m there I can’t be on the pitch. The best way to influence the team is before, but it isn’t ideal.”

00:55

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta:

“There are situations during the week and post-match but we believe this is the best team to start the match. We didn’t generate enough for Merino against West Ham, hopefully tonight will be different for him.”

00:53

BACK HOME - Man Utd are unbeaten in last seven league games v Ipswich

00:51

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna:

“We’re focused on ourselves and on delivering the best performance we can, you always have to prepare to face the strongest version of your opponent, wherever United are in the table, and how the season is going for them. It’s a team full of high-quality players and so we have to deliver the best version of ourselves and hopefully that will be enough tonight.”

00:49

Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim:

“Mazraoui had a problem last game, we are going to change Gana as well. We try to see the opponent, to see our game, to see what we want from every game and sometimes that means a lot of changes.”

00:47

ONE MORE IN THE TANK? - Beto looking to score in fifth consecutive game

00:45

Everton manager David Moyes:

“Results are all important, build a bit of confidence and self-belief as well, I think the players have played with great courage, great desire, a lot of the games we’ve had have been tough games. This one is as well. Thankfully we’ve got a few points on the board as well, we’ve got a bit of work to do but we’re in a much stronger position than we were in a month ago.”

00:43

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank:

“I think they are always a well-structured, well-prepared team, no doubt about that. They are very solid, very fluid. Beto is in great form. Do what we believe in, be aware of their threats, Beto, a close eye on Garner, he’s been a big aspect as well.”

00:41

HEY HAALAND! - Man City striker back in starting XI against Spurs

00:39

Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou:

“We need to keep working on the stuff we have been. Our football is getting back to the levels we need it to be to compete consistently. We really want to be consistent with our football now.

“It is always a good test against City but it is always a good football game.”

00:37

Man City manager Pep Guardiola:

“We make good games against Newcastle then lost against Liverpool. Every game is difference but we come here to perform well. Spurs have always been an exceptional team since I arrived here. I don't know why they haven’t won any trophies, they have depth in their squad.”

00:35

TEAM NEWS - Liverpool v Newcastle (20:15 GMT)

Kostas Tsimikas is in for Andy Robertson for the PL leaders, who also bring in Diogo Jota for Curtis Jones.

Eddie Howe makes two changes, one of which is sure to disappoint a few FPL managers out there. Alexander Isak does not feature at all for a visit to Merseyside, while youngster Lewis Miley drops to the bench after his goal against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Sandro Tonali and Callum Wilson take their places.

00:33

00:31

LINE-UP - Liverpool v NEWCASTLE

XI: Pope, Schar, Hall, Livramento, Burn, Willock, Guimaraes, Tonali, Gordon, Wilson, Murphy
Subs: Dubravka, Ruddy, Trippier, Krafth, Targett, Longstaff, Miley, Barnes, Osula.

00:31

LINE-UP - LIVERPOOL v Newcastle

XI: Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Jota, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Alexander-Arnold
Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Elliott, Robertson, Quansah.

00:29

Team news (part 2)...

There is no Arne Slot on the Liverpool touchline tonight, but he can name his team to face Newcastle. Let’s find out who the Dutchman, and Eddie Howe, have selected…

00:28

FANCY A TOFFEE? - Everton looking to continue epic form against Bees

00:26

Premier League pundit Michael Owen:

On Arsenal’s attack: “They don’t have many options. They tried Sterling and he didn’t perform well. They have such a strong team in defence and midfield but they have limited options up front. Merino isn’t ideal but it is the best of what Arteta’s got to plug that gap. It doesn’t fill you with optimism but it could be Arsenal try to keep things tight and then try and nick a goal or two.”

00:24

One Beto? 👀

Beto has scored in each of his last four Premier League games, with only three Everton players ever doing so in five in a row – Duncan Ferguson (April-August 2001), Romelu Lukaku (7 in November/December 2015), and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (September/October 2020).

00:22

STILL SEARCHING - Ipswich yet to register away PL win in 2025

00:20

Changing it up 😈

Manchester United have named a different starting XI in all 23 of their matches under Ruben Amorim.

00:18

Premier League pundit Shay Given:

On Haaland’s return: “They were poor at the weekend, they didn’t have any threat. I was surprised they didn’t commit more bodies into the box. Haaland brings presence to the team, his goals and record stands against any striker in the world, his return gives them a boost. He will give them a lift tonight.”

00:16

ON THE BENCH - Spurs skipper features as a sub for visit from Man City

00:14

Premier League pundit Michael Owen:

On Darwin Nunez: “I watched him for a good while and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt as he could come back and bite you on the backside because he does so many good things. There is a player in there but at some point you have to say it isn’t getting better. The calmness in front of goal just isn’t there. He can be an exceptional player for a certain team but his all-round game isn’t suitable to be Liverpool’s main man.”

00:13

History repeating itself? 🔴

Arsenal’s 15-game unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end with a 1-0 home defeat to West Ham last time out. They’ve not lost consecutive league games since December 2023, the first of which was a home loss to West Ham.

00:10

UP NORTH - Gunners in Nottingham for clash between 2nd and 3rd

00:08

Lilywhites ruling Manchester ⚪️

Tottenham have beaten Manchester City twice and Manchester United three times in all competitions this season – no team has ever beaten both Manchester sides three times each in the same campaign before.

00:06

Premier League pundit Michael Owen:

"Even the most optimistic Liverpool could never have seen the weekend that we've just seen. I did feel that the little period of time that Liverpool had away from home, it could have been a sticky time for them, and it could have been the time to close the gap for Arsenal. And they didn't do it. It's not over, we saw how quickly things could change, but Liverpool are definitely in the driving seat."

00:04

TEAM NEWS - Brentford v Everton (19:30 GMT)

Christian Norgaard was forced off with a head injury against Leicester and is sidelined by concussion tonight. Yehor Yarmolyuk takes his place in midfield in the only change.

David Moyes makes one change from the draw with Man Utd, with Carlos Alcaraz returning in place of the unavailable Abdoulaye Doucoure. Youssef Chermiti and Nathan Patterson are back on the bench after injuries.
