Welcome to our live blog! We’ll have updates throughout the day from the Premier League pre-match press conferences ahead of the weekend’s fixture…
Postecoglou on the latest injury news, the transfer window and much more…
“I don’t think so, when you look at every game, it can go either way. In two or three weeks, it could be something different.”
“Let him settle where he is first and talk about the reality he’s got in front of him and deal with that, and that’s more than enough for now.”
“The moment that I saw him, the only thing I saw was to change his position. I said to him, this is where you will be. He fits the way we play. We started to work on that.”
“Maybe we start with managers getting 10-year contracts.”
Q. Would you like a 10-year contract?
“At the minute, I’m very happy with what I’ve got.”
“It’s always important to win and capitalise on other teams when they don’t win. It’s always a good week. We need many more of those because of where we are and stay very focused.”
“We rely on Cole because he’s a big player. We prefer to play with him 100% but we will find different solutions.”
“Probably when we are away we are more calm, we don’t rush.
“At home sometimes we want to play quick because we want to show it to the fans. This is a mistake against teams that sit back.”
“Very happy, phenomenal job since she joined the club. Promoting someone who is already with us from within is a good signal.”
“The only thing I say is that we’re close to Misha and trying to help him.”
“It’s not just for us but for every club and manager.
“When there is noise about some players it’s not easy. If there is noise about other clubs, probably they are not focused 100%.”
“I think so, if you want to be fighting for the top trophies for 11 months like we’ve been doing two and a half years, you have to enjoy those circumstances and pressure because it’s the beauty of it. We are playing to win, and that’s exactly what we want to do.”
How are you finding January? “Disaster.”
“It’s normal that you judge results but if you judge the performance of the team, I’m happy.
“I’m not happy with the second half against Bournemouth.”
“At the moment we don’t have them, we are trying actively to find a solution. We’ll see what we can do. We have lost two massive players in the front line and we need support.”
“I’m not sure but I think Trev trained with us until we flew to the USA.
“I had a chat with him. He was doing well there (at Palace).”
“If they’re willing to commit to a player for that long, good news for them.
Mikel has arrived and we’re almost ready to go
We’re still waiting for Mikel Arteta to arrive for his press conference here at Arsenal’s training ground
“Being more clinical solves all the problems.”
Maresca on Haaland’s contract: “If they decide it’s because he deserves it.
“The only thing I can say is he is a fantastic guy and deserves it.”
“We have Cole that is a doubt, he didn’t do the session today.
“Levi was not in the session today, Enzo was not in the session today, Romeo was not in the session today.
“We have three of four players that are a doubt because of the last game.
“Cole, in the first half they kick him. It’s the same situation as the others.”
Maresca says he has “no idea” whether Broja is returning to Chelsea and says he has not heard anything.
“We had a few injuries as you know so we were looking for a solution and we solved that problem.
“The best solution was to call back Trev. We know he can help us.
“He was very happy, I can see his face. You can see in his eyes.
Does he have something to prove? “The reason why he left was because of financial fair play and these kind of things. It wasn’t just a technical decision.”
Maresca has arrived for his pre-match press conference.
On Reece James: For sure, if he plays 45 minutes, it means he can be ready (to start).
“What we don’t want with Reece is an injury again. Since we start, we are trying to help him.”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is scheduled to speak at 13:00GMT, follow live updates here as well as watching live on our YouTube channel below…
