    And with that last entry from Brentford's Keith Andrews, I think we are about done?

    If I've missed anyone, feel free to virtually clip me round the ear. But also, check out our dedicated club pages for any further updates from your respective teams' news conferences today.

    It's now time for me to fumble my way through this FPL live, because I haven't done one in quite a while.

    If you lot keep sending your questions for Holly Shand, I can let her do the hard graft!

    Bit of housekeeping first to get things started, though.

  5. 'We are a difficult team to beat, clearly'published at 15:27 BST

    When asked about the consecutive run of five draws Andrews said: "I think we've been closer to victories than losses. If we're honest with the appraisal of our performances. The players will discuss it brilliantly amongst themselves about how we can finetune certain parts of our game."

    "Performance levels overall have been very good. I was very happy with our game against Fulham. I thought we played particularly well, we controlled large parts of the game and played with the freedom I like."

    "I thought it was a step forward from the Everton game. I thought there was a lot to like. I think we're difficult to beat clearly. I think that's grown as the season has gone on and now we are looking for those margins to give us three points."

  6. Henry, Janelt and Henderson 'doing well' but remain outpublished at 15:24 BST

    Manchester United v Brentford (Mon, 20:00 BST)

    Brentford

    Brentford head coach Andrews has been talking to the media before their game against Manchester United on Monday. He was first asked for an update on Rico Henry, Vitaly Janelt and Jordan Henderson:

    "They're doing well, I've just walked past all three of them. They've done a session away from the rest of the group. They're back on the grass. Making good progress, all slightly different in terms of when I think they will back. But none available for Monday.

    The rest of the team will be in and around what it was last week."

  7. 'We have a group that care'published at 15:22 BST

    Wolves

    Finally, Wolves boss Rob Edwards was asked about an altercation between Tolu Arokodare and Mateus Mane: "That was a couple of weeks ago. Not uncommon. We dealt with it and we have moved on from it.

    "There is a lot of passion and sometimes things can get physical. We have a group that care. They are a tight group and sometimes things can spill over. I've got no problem with any of the individuals."

  8. Relegation 'tough to take'published at 15:19 BST

    Wolves boss Rob Edwards gave his thoughts after their relegation was confirmed on Monday when West Ham drew at Crystal Palace: "Tough to take but we knew where we were. We were marooned at the bottom of the league. We don't like it. It wasn't easy, I don't think it was ever going to be.

    "There has been mistakes made here for a number of years and the trend that the club has been on for a while has been leading up to this so there is a lot for us to learn.

    "If you make mistakes you can be punished and we have seen that with a number of clubs. We have been able to make some improvements and we want to take positive momentum into the new season so we want to do that [from] tomorrow."

    Everton boss David Moyes on this match being his 750th game as a Premier League manager: "So I've been told. I've already reached 1,000 games in total, which is a great achievement for any manager. I don't really go out of my way to look for and find out these things, but if someone tells me then my answer is: 'That's good, I'm pleased'.

    "I'm a bit closer [to Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger's record] than I thought actually! I thought they were miles away. I've always said I don't want to be too grey or too fat on the touchline, and I'm starting to become both now, so that's a problem.

    "Look, I'm enjoying football still and the players keep me young so as long as I can keep up the energy then I'm happy to keep going."

    On whether he's had any contract talks: "There's certainly not been any talks. I'm not going to be bothered about that as we still have an important month or so to go."

  11. Moyes 'not talking' about European hopespublished at 15:12 BST

    West Ham v Everton (Sat, 15:00 BST)

    Everton

    With Everton currently sat two points off European football qualification, boss David Moyes was asked about the club's final push.

    He replied: "I'm back not talking about it again because it looks a long way off right now, doesn't it?

    "I don't think there's much to talk about regarding that topic. Things can change, but when it actually changes that's when we'll start talking about it again."

  12. Beto sidelined with concussionpublished at 15:11 BST

    West Ham v Everton (Sat, 15:00 BST)

    Everton

    Firstly, Everton boss David Moyes was asked to provide an injury update ahead of the trip to London Stadium: "Beto has concussion so he will miss this week's game.

    "Jarrad [Branthwaite] will obviously be out for the season now. We are looking at a pretty long close season though, so there should be plenty of time for him to get himself fit and ready for next season.

    "He's feeling better because he has been told it isn't an injury to the same hamstring area in which he had his last operation. Ultimately, he's had a couple of hamstring injuries now so obviously we're worried about it."

    On whether Beto's absence could make way for Thierno Barry, he replied: "That's if I choose to play him. I've got other people that I think could do it, so I could consider them."

    However, he refused to reveal which "other people" he might have up his sleeve for Saturday's game.

    Fulham boss Marco Silva provided the latest team news ahead of the game against Aston Villa tomorrow at lunchtime: "[It's] really bad news to lose a player like [Alexander] Iwobi. Kenny [Tete] is still out, but back on the grass.

    "Kevin is doing individual work but will be out. Difficult to say a time-scale on Alex, but back before the end of the season."

  14. 'No news' on future after links to Chelseapublished at 15:07 BST

    Fulham

    Fulham boss Marco Silva on the latest on his future after he was linked to the Chelsea job this week: "Why is it different this week this week? It is not different at all. My answer is the same and it's the same answer that I said to you last week. I am not going to make comments about it every single week. When there is something new we are going to tell from ourselves, myself and the club.

    "There is no news."

  15. 'We cannot forget the table, we cannot forget we need a win'published at 15:04 BST

    Wolves v Tottenham (Sat, 15:00 BST)

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Roberto de Zerbi on needing to win tomorrow: "I don't want to put too much pressure but we have to know the situation. We can't forget the table. We can't forget we need a win. We can't forget maybe what we have done until now, not maybe, for sure what we have done until now is not enough.

    "Anyway if we win in Wolverhampton it is not finished yet. There are other four games but I think now we deserve to win a game. Also with Brighton, I knew before the game it is one of the best teams in the Premier League in this moment. After their game against Chelsea everyone knows. We played a good game and deserved to win."

  16. Team news - Maddison on bench but still not fit, Udogie outpublished at 15:02 BST

    Tottenham boss Roberto de Zerbi provided an update on his squad's fitness ahead of the trip to Wolves tomorrow: "Destiny [Udogie] has a problem. I think he can't play tomorrow. We have Spence, Souza is available to come with us. It's not a big problem. I hope Udogie can be available in the next week in Villa Park."

    On whether James Maddison is fit after being named on the bench last weekend: "He's not available yet, especially in this week, he felt pain, but not an important problem.

    "Tomorrow he'll come with us on the bench. He's important for us whether he plays or not. It's better he plays but also as a guy, as a leader, as a positive guy inside my dressing room. I want to see nice people and positive people."

    Aston Villa

    When asked about if he would make any changes to team selection for Fulham based on Europa League final next week:

    "We are facing each match, preparing each match, focusing each match. Premier League is the priority. We are in semi-final of Europa League. We can even play the final in Europa League and we can lose. We are only in touching distance of our objective and how we are going to finish in the League."

  19. 'Tomorrow a challenge to fight for third'published at 14:55 BST

    Fulham v Aston Villa (Sat, 12:30 BST)

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to the media ahead of their game against Fulham on Saturday and was asked about his side's eight-point cushion of the Champions League places:

    "Our consistency is giving us the opportunity to be in front of a lot of other teams. There is still points to play, we must be consistent until the last day."

    "Our objective is to be in the top five but now we are fourth with Manchester United in third. We are not getting a challenge to be third in the League."

    "Three years ago I was here. I did not achieve this position where we are now. I am speaking with the players, that we must be demanding ourselves to be the best, to get the best position in the table. Realistically tomorrow is a huge challenge against Fulham to try to get three points and be fighting for third position."

  20. 'Always sad to see a colleague leave a club'published at 14:53 BST

    Arsenal v Newcastle (Sat, 17:30 BST)

    Arsenal

    Final few words from Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Liam Rosenior being sacked: "It is always sad to see a colleague leave a club. We know the scrutiny and demands on our jobs. The only thing that matters is if we win a lot of matches.

    On motivation: "Every game we do something different to inspire them and guide them.

    "This week we didn’t have to do much. The energy has been so good, and the weather helps as well. It is so clear what is at stake."

    On Declan Rice: “We know the player we have and how blessed we are to have him. This season again, he has been absolutely outstanding. I am sure he will step up again and make a difference for the team."
