That’s all we have for today's live coverage
It was a busy one with three managers facing the media ahead of the Carabao Cup semi-final first legs - here are the standout moments from those news conferences...
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola:
- New signing Semenyo 'a really nice guy'
- Ait-Nouri returning from Afcon but misses flight
- Guardiola calls for single-leg Carabao Cup semi-final
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe:
- Livramento to have scan after hamstring injury
- 'No definitive return date' for Krafth
- 'We will wait and see' on January transfers
- 'PSR is Newcastle's problem'
- Burn 'couple of weeks' away
- 'Decision on Targett very soon'
- 'Man City toughest team to play over two legs'
Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior:
- Rosenior to make Palmer and James call tomorrow
- 'I'd love to be here for six years or longer'
- 'We've been preparing for Arsenal since I came in'
- 'I'm not calling them Set Piece FC'
We’ll be back tomorrow when we will hear from the other semi-finalists - Arsenal and their manager Mikel Arteta - before they face their London rivals Chelsea.
Until then, take care.
