Want a full tactical rundown of what Roberto de Zerbi is trying to implement at Tottenham?

Of course you do! And you can read it all here.

In the wake of their Carabao Cup exit to Liverpool, Tottenham boss Roberto de Zerbi said his side have to find “La Scintilla” (the spark) to kick start their season and finally score some goals.

This is the first time in the club’s 144-year history that they have failed to score in their opening four league matches to a season.

The only time they’ve ever failed to score in five or more league games at any stage of a campaign was a six-game run between December 1985 to February 1986.

While the sole Premier League side to have ever gone longer than four matches without a goal is Crystal Palace, who took seven matches in 2017-18 before finally breaking their duck.

But that Palace team did go on to finish 11th and none of the other four Premier League teams who also failed to score in their opening four matches ended up finishing lower than that.

Coincidentally, one of those sides was actually Unai Emery’s Aston Villa just 12 months ago as they roared into form to eventually finish fourth and lift the Europa League.

We'll start our coverage on Tottenham, who lost in the Carabao Cup to Liverpool this week and are still without a Premier League win.

And that's your lot from Fabian Hurzeler and Mikel Arteta. We'll be back this afternoon when a bucketload of Premier League clubs also have their manager news conferences, including Liverpool and Manchester United.

See you then.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler on whether he's had time to reflect on how well things are going for his side this season: "I've had no time, honestly no time. My thoughts are always on the next game and then the next game. What we try to do is reflect on why we are in the situation and what things gave us this good foundation. I believe the basic things brought us here; the hard work, the non-negotiables, the small margins. Everyone knows their role and everyone knows that we can only compete with the best if we all do everything at the highest level. That's the message that we try to reinforce.

"In football there is always the next game so as much as you are satisfied with a performance, a few hours later your focus is on beating your next opponent and maintaining the standards."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler on the Premier League's leading chance creators - Pascal Gross and Martin Odegaard - going up against each other in midfield this weekend:

"We have to be aware that Martin Odegaard can create that many chances, that will be so important. Hopefully we can bring Pascal Gross into the kind of positions where he can be make such an impact on our game. I'm pleased with how he is performing at the moment, not only in possession but also out of possession. It is nice to see how he is leading on and off the pitch. It is a joy to watch him play at the moment, hopefully he can carry on like this."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler was also asked about his comments around Arsenal's style of play last season. The German called for stricter rules around set-pieces and criticised Arsenal for time-wasting back in March.

He said: "What was said last season was said last season. It is very important to remember that there are opinions in football and I will always share my opinion if I'm asked a question.

"At the end of the day, I congratulated Arsenal for being deserved champions. It is a new season now - they have started very impressively and they are maybe the best team in England - so it is our challenge to compete with them by focusing in the game and playing our style of play.

"I do believe we have a chance to win this game."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler on Lewis Dunk potentially making his 300th Premier League start on Saturday: "That number is very impressive. It is interesting because we spoke a lot about James Milner last season, but now we are speaking a lot about Lewis Dunk. Those two aren't similar in terms of how they lead or in their personalities, but they are similar in terms of their commitment to this club and to football.

"He is someone who always drives the high standards here, so it is a pleasure to work with him as our captain. It is hard to understand from the outside just how much he wants to give back to Brighton; his connection with this club is something which drives his whole life."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler started by providing an update on summer signing Femi Azeez's fitness: "He needs to use this upcoming international break to get back to his highest physical level and get used to our style of play. Firstly we will look to work with him individually, then hopefully he will be integrated back into the team. If all goes to plan, he will definitely be at the level after the international break and hopefully we can start to use him in games."

On Jaouen Hadjam's availability after picking up a knock during their midweek Carabao Cup fixture at Old Trafford: "He is able to play."

And that's all from Mikel Arteta.

Next up, Arsenal's Saturday opponents Brighton.

Their manager Fabian Hurzeler has been talking to the press.

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was asked whether striker Viktor Gyokeres is struggling for confidence currently:

"No, especially in the Premier League he hasn't played that many minutes.

"Last week he played in Napoli and he had a good game. It is about moments as well and we need to give him all the support and confidence that he needs because we know the player that we have and that he has the capacity to score goals.

"We know what he can give to the team."

Has Gyokeres fully adapted to the Gunners' playing style?: T"he team is doing certain different things this season as well. There is nothing unique for Viktor, it is for everybody. it is my job to fit players in, find connections, and find the level of confidence for the players to give their best for the team."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on goalkeeper David Raya's rise to the top and fine recent form:

"That is a great story. For any kid to look at trajectories and pathways and how you cn reach the highest level in football.

"I always maintain that with that motivation and enthusiasm it can happen. Now football is so connected that you can get scouted and in two or three years be playing a the highest level.

"I think it's his mentality. David has tremendous qaulity but he has overcome a lot of difficulties and challenges to reach this point. It wasn't easy at the beginning, he had to dig in and prove himself.

"Now, he has the right to be one of the best."

Has Raya been his best Arsenal signing?: "He's been a tremendous signing, there is no question about that. Whether he is the best or not is just an opinion. It doesn't matter, we are so happy to have him. He has elevated the team to a different level and now we have to maintain that level."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on summer signing Bruno Guimaraes' best position in the midfield:

"He can play on the left, on the right, in the middle. He can rotate from there. He is a dynamic, versatile player that can deliver great moments in any position.

"It will be more down to what we need on the day, his relationship with the other players, and what the opponent does as well."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on four away games in a row:

"That's one of the challenges of the schedule and the team has responded so well, playing with such a dominance.

"It doesn't really matter if we play at home or away, we want to cause the same problems to the opposition. We have managed to win the first three games and we now have the last one against a very strong opponent in Brighton.

"We will try and do the same."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Gabriel supporting young defender Marli Salmon through the midweek win over Ipswich in the Carabao Cup: "You cannot coach that, you either have it or you don't. It is a split-second decision and it is just a very emotional reaction when you're in the middle of the game.

"I absolutely loved it because we have all been there. The encouragement and the confidence it gives a 16-year-old to go again and deliver in the next action is huge.

"It is good to see that bond and connection within the team to try and help each other."

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on the upcoming extended international break:

"We will see, we need to experience it.

"Different national teams have taken different approaches in terms of the numbers they have put in the squad so it is going to be really important to have good communication with him to understand where our players are and what they expect.

"We need to work together and that is best as always."
