What’s been said?

Liverpool boss Arne Slot on the busy schedule: “I’m not so sure it is difficult because these players are trained for this and they are ready for this,” he said.

“They are in a certain rhythm and they have shown this season many times that they are able to but it was the reason that I changed the line-up so drastically against Plymouth because I don’t think you can do this all season.

“You need once every four or five weeks, a normal week and what I mean by a normal week is two games a week, not three games a week. Of course, it hurt us in the FA Cup but it also means that these players are now able to play five games in a row at the highest possible level.”

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe: “We need to play close to a perfect game. I think learning from the recent game against Manchester City would be a useful starting point for us, where we didn’t execute the aggressive game plan that we wanted. We didn’t attack enough.
