    Arsenal

    Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on his contract extension until 2030: "My family are very grateful to be able to enjoy this unbelievable right to continue. I said from the beginning that me and the club wanted the same thing, but I loved the way it was handled.

    "I think it is really important. I always said that when you're negotiating and trying to figure out the future, the most important thing is at the end when you're about to sign the deal and looking at everyone in the room and seeing so many smiley faces and excitement in their eyes."

    On Manchester City's 115 charges, Everton boss David Moyes said: "I wasn't here when it was difficult for Everton, when things were bad.

    "Looking at it now from where I am sitting, it looks terrible that we have been docked points and pay some fines and not that long ago.

    "There's other things that have been going on - nearly 10 years ago - that have not been dealt with. I find that really difficult.

    "I hope it's not just Everton who are getting picked on here. I think we get picked on by the referees and every other area as well."

  8. 'They will be fully focused on what happens on the pitch'published at 14:24 BST 9 October

    Liverpool v Man City (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Iraola, on the players dealing with the noise from City's charges: "I think the challenge of the game, the difficulty of the game is so high that players don't think too much outside of this. They are thinking 'I have to mark this player, I have to deal with this one, I have to be at this level' so I think they are focused on those things.

    "Obviously they will have their own opinions but I think they will be fully focused on what happens on the pitch."

    On the extent of the Commission's findings against City: "We don't know about their situation so I don't think it's fair we give an opinion. The things they've spent analysing has taken a lot of time so they are the ones that have to give the answers. My opinion is not valid and I haven't read as much as they have done."

    On whether City's potential punishment could be capitalised on: "I've said it before - the worst thing is the uncertainty but we have to focus on Liverpool. Be the best club we can be and the best team we can be."

    Everton

    On what it means for his future, Everton boss David Moyes said: "I’ve not really thought about it yet from that point of view. The players have been great so far and we will keep them focused on what we’ve got to do and what we can do which is trying to win games.

    "I always think Evertonian’s are galvanized more when there’s a situation where they know the team and manager needs help. We stick together."

    Liverpool v Man City (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Iraola, on Bradley Barcola stepping up: "I don't think he is in a bad moment. I think the problem with wingers or strikers is if they don't score a goal then they haven't played well I think we need to see the games [like] the first game against Atletico Madrid he missed a couple chances - I don't care. I care but I want him to be there.

    "I saw with the national team he had a couple of good situations to score and he hasn't scored but I want him to be there. He is a top player for us and I think he can play in any position up front."

    Alonso also provided an update on Reece James, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro:

    "Yes, they have been training. Some earlier than others. Marco Palestra as well. They have trained well and ready to go. For sure, we know they are key players and important."

  13. 'In any sport in history later on you get the medal' - Carrickpublished at 14:16 BST 9 October

    Man Utd v Tottenham (17:30 BST)

    Manchester United

    Manchester United manager Michael Carrick on whether United should be handed titles retrospectively: "I think at the moment, as it's still not finalised, I think I'll hold that one until later on. I think regardless of anything, a medal anyway, in any sport in history, I think later on you get the medal, and it's proven at different times.

    "It's the moment that you strive for to win and achieve in that moment, so the medal here or there, not getting blase about it, but that doesn't bring the feeling of when you initially win or you don't win. That's essentially what we're all in it for."

  14. 'We will maybe recover Chiesa'published at 14:14 BST 9 October

    Liverpool v Man City (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Iraola, on how he plans to navigate his frontline without Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak: "Even before, we don't have Hugo Ekitike who is another very good striker but I am looking forward to have them available.

    "We will maybe recover Fede Chiesa but he has not played any minutes, he's recovering from an injury but he's been doing a good job in the international break and training with the small group we had.

    "For number nine, we probably only have Koumas right now but we have some other options. We have wingers who have played up front in other teams and I think we will put out an 11 with a level enough to compete."

  15. 'Speed's essential' - Carrick on Man City chargespublished at 14:13 BST 9 October

    Man Utd v Tottenham (17:30 BST)

    Manchester United

    More from Manchester United manager Michael Carrick on the Manchester City charges: "Speed's essential, as I just said. I think that's pretty obvious for me to sit here and say that.

    "There's so many angles to look at from so many different perspectives, but really speed's essential for everyone to be clear, to be able to deal with it, to be able to move on whatever happens, I think.

    "It's unprecedented, you know, a unique situation to be in this, at this level with such a huge impact in so many ways. So, we all need to know what's going to happen, really. I think that's pretty clear."

    Everton

    In response to whether he feels let down by the club based on what he was sold on his return, Everton boss David Moyes said: "No because I love this club. They could have sold me it at any time and I'd still have taken it.

    "But it's for Evertonian's that I am more disappointed. They have been through so many difficult periods and the last thing they really wanted to hear was this.

    "Last season there wasn't much drama. We didn't have any relegation problems. There was a bit of drama with money that we had to pay for Burnley, but in the main we have done well over the last year and starting to get back in the right footing. Challenging at the right end of the league.

    "I'm disappointed that Evertonians have to go through another period of 'who are our owners'."

    Man Utd v Tottenham (17:30 BST)

    Manchester United

    Manchester United manager Michael Carrick on losing title races to Manchester City as a United player: "I think when you're in sport, certainly in football, I think the strive to win and the emotion, the feeling about winning is a lot of it is in the moment.

    "Whether you're successful, whether you lose, whether it goes against you the beauty of sport and the beauty of football and the beauty of trying to win trophies here is a little bit on the journey towards it and then the finale, you know, and does it go for you, does it go against you?

    "Once that's done, there's no getting that back in any direction. That's the feeling we all crave is coming out on top. That kind of sums it up, you know, whatever's done in the past tense done in the past, but in that moment is how you feel in that moment.

    "Certainly as a participant, as a performer, and I'm sure the supporters feel the same, that's why we love it so much because of the emotion in the moment."

    Chelsea

    Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso on the Manchester City guilty verdicts:

    "For sure it is a decision but we need to be patient. We need to wait for the final sanctions from the panel. I think they are independent enough to assess all the situations. I am not an expert, whatever I say and whatever opinion I have they are the ones to take it. We need to respect the decision and we have to be patient for sure.

    "We need to wait for the final announcement on the actions and we will see what happens. It is out of our hands, we have to respect the independence of the panel and see what happens."

    Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Manchester City's charges:

    "Fully understand the question, but I will respect the process, I think the timelines, it is still an ongoing process that is not resolved because it has been appealed.

    "My position and the club’s position is not to make any further comment until it is resolved.

    "It is a lot of noise around it and it is an ongoing process that is not resolved yet. I think we need to respect it.

    "There is nothing in our hands and the only thing we can do is focus on everything that we can do.

    "That is where we put the energy."
