⏪ Amorim confirms major absentee; Pep praises Kyle Walker and more | OneFootball

The majority of Premier League managers will be speaking to the press ahead of this weekend's fascinating round of fixtures. Stay tuned to find out what they have to say!

Thanks for joining us throughout day and make sure to keep coming back to the app over the weekend for full coverage of all the games!

And that's everything from us today folks.

And finally from Amorim, here he is on United trying to build some momentum ...

"It's really important. We talk about that in the end of the game. We need the sense of urgency that we need to win, no matter what. It's going to be really difficult. Every time we start to prepare for the next game and watch the opponent, we think it's going to be really tough. I have that feeling. But for me, we cannot control the game. The most important thing is to start the game like we did against Chelsea and Burnley. These kind of games, we need to be really focused and have the feeling of needing to win every match."

Some more from Amorim on United getting back-to-back wins ...

"I don't say playing well, because I think we have done that, but it's normal the fans don't know what is going to happen the next game. To be honest, I have an idea, but I don't know how it's going to be and I'm the manager of the team. The best way of dealing with that is approaching every game like it's the last one. I understand the feeling of the fans, so let's start changing that feeling to present ourselves with the urgency of what we need to do on the pitch."

And on Mbeumo ...

"It's really important for eveything he has been doing.The light he brings to the dressing room. He is not the guy who talks, but he is always there to help us. He runs a lot, presses a lot, he is a different threat to last season. I'm more than happy with Bryan.""It's really important for eveything he has been doing.The light he brings to the dressing room.

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has been speaking about his team news:

"Latest is that everyone who was available for Doncaster is available again. Pape trained today so that's positive. Kolo Muani is a dead leg that is just dragging on so he won't be available. Dom is not available. It's just been a little bit tricky [with him]. We're positive it will be relatively quick."

Graham Potter has been speaking about his struggles as West Ham boss:

"Every Premier League job is a hard job and that is the facts.

"If you think how many coaches there are in the world and you find yourself as one of the 20 coaches in the Premier League, it's hard, by definition. Every coach is good and there are resources everywhere.

"Every job is hard and in terms of this one you don't know how things are before you go in but from the outside I thought this would be a challenge, it is an incredible challenge but an exciting challenge.

"Anything that is worth having in life you have to accept there will be struggle. Football is tough."
