📢 Smith on Matty Cash: "Cashy will miss the last two games. It is a recurrence of a hamstring injury. Nowhere near as bad as last time but enough to put him out for a couple of weeks."

📢 Smith on Mings: "Tyrone should be fit for Wednesday [against Spurs]."

🔮 Crystal Palace

📢 Roy Hodgson pre-match on benching Guaita: "Jack Butland, we wanted to make certain he got a game, at least, before the end of the season. So Vicente stepped aside for him."

📢 Hodgson post-match on benching Guaita: "I must also say that I've also made this clear; it's not a question of rotating the goalkeepers at this moment in time. Vicente has been the No 1 keeper..."

📢 Hodgson post-match on benching Guaita: "...he deserves to be brought back into the team.

"[Butland was] good, very good. He made one wonder save, I think it was from an offside situation but he made a wonder save."

📢 Hodgson on Tyrick Mitchell: "In the second half he continued to work and combined extremely well with Wilf [Zaha] and [Eberechi] Eze down that left-hand side. He created chances at regular intervals in the..."

📢 Hodgson on Mitchell: "...second half and was often a part of the attack. And of course at the end he pops up and scores the winner.

"He has got in the team before and had to drop out through injury. What he needs now..."

📢 Hodgson on Mitchell: "...is an injury-free period but he has all the qualities, I think, needed to be a very good Premier League left-back.

"It was an excellent cross for Christian Benteke's equaliser. I thought he..."

🤍 Spurs

📢 Ryan Mason asked if Aurier will be fit for Aston Villa: "We are not too sure with Serge. He trained all week but he didn't feel 100 per cent and we didn't feel it was right to have a player on the pitch..."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #thfc #TotAvl

📢 Mason asked if Aurier will be fit for Aston Villa: "...that isn't 100 per cent but we are going to assess him day by day and go from there."

📢 Mason on Alli: "For me, Dele was excellent. I don't really like singling out players but it's hard not to because I'm sure everyone felt it. He ran, he competed, he pressed, he created opportunities..."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #thfc #TotAvl

📢 Mason on Alli: "...I'm sure he's disappointed not to get a goal himself. [But] it was an excellent number 10 performance, I'm really, really pleased."

🇵🇹 Wolves

📢 Nuno on Daniel Podence: "He’s going to go to surgery tomorrow to solve a [groin] problem he’s been dragging for a while. This is the right moment for him to go to surgery so he can start the new season strong."

🐦 Liverpool

📢 Jurgen Klopp pre-match on Jota: "No good thing without a bad thing. So, we won at Man United but Diogo got something with the bone [in his foot]. Not too serious but serious enough to end the season."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #lfc #BurLiv

📢 Klopp asked post-match if Jota will make the Euros: "Diogo, I don’t know actually. As I said it is not too serious but as always, you have to wait [to see] how it develops, how it heals. It is a little bone in the foot..."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #lfc #BurLiv

📢 Klopp asked post-match if Jota will make the Euros: "...and we have to see. I think he will now be in a boot for two weeks or so and when he gets out of the boot, then the doctors will check how it developed..."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #lfc #BurLiv

📢 Klopp asked post-match if Jota will make the Euros: "...how far the progress is, so I don’t know that but of course, it is not a top moment."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #lfc #BurLiv

📢 Klopp asked if Kabak will return before end of season: "Ozan, no. No for the long-term [injuries too]. Ozan isn’t in the long-term [injuries] but nobody is coming back, I think."

📢 Klopp pre-match on Sadio Mane: "We spoke and he apologised. That's clear and that is it."

🫐 Everton

📢 Carlo Ancelotti on Sheffield United defeat: "We played so bad. The only result that could be possible is a defeat. As we usually did at home most of the time, we lost. I have to take responsibilty for this..."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #efc #EveShu

📢 Ancelotti on Sheffield United defeat: "...but I hope the players do too. We have two games to the end. We lost a great opportunity to have the chance to fight for Europe..."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #efc #EveShu

📢 Ancelotti on Sheffield United defeat: "...it's difficult to say [why Everton are better away]. When we tried to put quality and build from the back, we have more difficulties..."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #efc #EveShu

📢 Ancelotti on Sheffield United defeat: "...we are more comfortable when we play direct but that is not the best style of play.

"For next season we are going to change. We have to analyse the season..."

#fpl #bgw36 #CHpressers #fantasypl #gw37 #efc #EveShu

📢 Ancelotti: "...certain aspects are really good - away we did fantastic results, at home really bad."

🗡️ Sheffield United

📢 Paul Heckingbottom on Everton win: "Excellent [defensive performance]. The best while I've been in charge and the best for a while. We've had good performances and been undone by..."

📢 Heckingbottom on Everton win: "...top-end quality sometimes. Today we didn't really give them a sniff. Probably the best defensive display that I've seen for a long time."
