Sunderland

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris on new signing Nilson Angulo and his fitness: "We’ll see when he’s with us, he played a lot so he is fit. Now it's a question of connection with his teammates, with the squad. It could be quick, I hope it will be the case."

Le Bris says Nilson will arrive this evening and there is a chance he could be involved on Saturday.

West Ham United

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo on not replacing Lucas Paqueta: "The situation with Lucas that happened was something that was difficult to do, everybody is aware.

"In the end everybody looked for a better solution but we have to realise that you can have targets but those targets are at other clubs and it's not just what you want but what the other clubs do also so our fans must understand that the transfer window of January is very difficult to operate.

"It's more about rebalancing and understanding what we need for the last matches of the season and I'm totally convinced that we are going to be okay."

West Ham United

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo on team news: "Some problems that we have to assess, we still have tomorrow, players that we need to see carefully and then decide.

"JC Todibo is going to be out due to the red card.

"Everyone else is available, hopefully."

West Ham and Sunderland also held their pre-match news conferences this afternoon.

Let's start with Hammers boss Nuno Espirito Santo. His side make the trip to Burnley this weekend.

Manchester United

Manchester United will honour the victims of the Munich air disaster in their annual commemoration on Friday, in a half-hour service under the Munich clock at Old Trafford (14:45 GMT).

The disaster killed 23 passengers, including eight players, on a flight back from a European Cup tie in Belgrade in 1958.

Michael Carrick on what the remembrance means to him as both the United boss and a former player: "It means a great deal. As soon as you come here, you’re made aware and you can’t help but know and understand the history. It’s a responsibility when you work, or play or coach here to know what came before us and the behaviours and responsibilities we need to carry through.

"Munich is the probably biggest part of the history of this club - the tragedy itself and how the team and football club bounced back. Sir Alex mentioned it when I came, it was important to him and to us, and it’s become a way of life for the club. It’s important we carry it on.

"Being aware of it and around it, you really feel that emotion. Inside the stadium on Saturday we’ll feel it as well."

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick had a long chat with Thomas Frank in September and was asked how he reflects on that now: "[Life] certainly can change. We got on really well, first time I had met him properly. We had a good chat about football and processes and ideas a little bit. He was really accommodating and I enjoyed it so it will be good to see him again."

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick on his own move from Tottenham to United as a player: "It was pretty instant. I've got really fond memories of Tottenham and being at the club - I was there for what feels like a short time but really enjoyed it. Good team, Martin Jol was manager, a lot of things I learnt in that short period of time. Coming here was a big jump at the time and I felt that pretty quickly.

"Once you step inside this place as a footballer it turns you - from the first day walking into the dressing room and meeting the manager, that was me."

Manchester United

More from Manchester United boss Michael Carrick on facing Spurs: "They certainly bring a challenge. The way they finished the game the other day [against Manchester City], they’ve had players injured, ins and outs and a lot of changes to the team which makes things more challenging and difficult from their perspective.

"They’re getting players back, they have really good attackers that look to stretch the back-line and play forward and attack the box a lot. A slightly different game to what we’ve played in recent weeks in some ways but we’re looking forward to it and we're in a good place.

"The boys have worked well again this week. Feet on the ground, let’s not get carried away with what's gone on. It’s about what’s next - big challenge ahead but we're looking forward to it."

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick was asked if it surprises him how well his first few games in charge have gone: "Coming in at the start and the games go so quickly, it was kind of step-by-step so I wasn’t looking too far ahead. The first two games were standout games and we expected a tough start and in some ways that helped get the whole group focused and alive.

"Over time we got a vague idea of what we wanted to look like and since we’ve been here that becomes a lot clearer in what direction we want to go in and how we want to play. We feel confident that we’ve got a lot of growth in the team and squad."

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick on the fitness of Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt: "Mason sooner. He’s not too far away. We’re hopeful it won’t be too long.

"Matta is working his way back, taking good steps and improving and being really positive. Little bit too soon at the moment but hopefully not too long."

Manchester United

Michael Carrick has just been speaking to the media ahead of facing Spurs this weekend. He says they won't be getting carried away after three wins from three.

Let's get the latest from Carrington...

Chelsea

The quote that seems to have grabbed the attention from Liam Rosenior's news conference was that addressing the midweek "beef" with Arsenal.

For those that missed it, a clip went viral on social media prior to Tuesday's fixture of Rosenior shouting, with a few expletives, towards the Arsenal players and coaches during warm-ups.

It appears as though the Gunners players and or staff had encroached onto the half of the pitch that Chelsea were doing their warm-ups in.

Rosenior can be heard shouting "That's your half! Stay there," towards them - with a bit more colourful language involved.

During today's news conference, the Chelsea boss said he has no issue with anyone at Arsenal but perceived it as a lack of respect towards his team.

Chelsea

That's all from the Chelsea boss this afternoon.

Certainly a different persona on show from Liam Rosenior today and a bit more bite in the answers to the questions thrown at him.

Here are the top lines from his news conference:

• Rosenior confirmed that Jamie Gittens is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a hamstring tear, while Reece James and Pedro Neto are doubts for Saturday
• He commented on the social media clip that went round of him midweek yelling at the Arsenal players during pre-match warm ups and said he "does not think respect was shown" to his side
• The Chelsea boss defender Alejandro Garnacho, who has been subject of criticism for recent performances and also claimed he "does not have a best XI" right now
• Finally, Rosenior responded to questions around the fitness of Cole Palmer and said there is "no timeframe" on a full recovery for the midfielder but said his "best position is on the pitch"

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior on what he thinks is his best XI: "I got asked this question not long ago - I don't have a best XI. I have a best starting team and a best finishing team.

"I don't think best XIs are the way to go. I'm learning about the group all the time. They know the journey I want to go on with them."

Chelsea

More from Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior on frustration over the availability of Cole Palmer: "You want all of your players to be 100%, 100% of the time, but that is not going to happen. Frustration isn't the word - I'm trying to get the best out of him and the rest of the team all of the time while taking into account the games coming up.

"It's not about being not able to play him in some games, it's making sure he feels right and contributing to the team the way he wants to."
