<h3>Press conference notes</h3>
<p><strong>Gabriel Martinelli</strong> returned to action against Manchester United last weekend, playing 32 minutes. The Brazilian also got 21 minutes against PSV in midweek and could start ahead of stand-in striker <strong>Mikel Merino</strong>.</p>
<p>But Arteta was cautious when asked if Merino was still a centre-forward option following Martinelli's return. He said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Now we have more options but it's true that we have to really manage the load and he's been a little bit ahead of schedule and that's what we didn't want to take - and we don't want to take anymore - because we've been loading in with more minutes."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Merino could therefore start alongside Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri again, with Chelsea loanee <strong>Raheem Sterling </strong>unable to face his parent club.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10"><b class="ssrcss-cgjb6m-Keyword e2vephq0">Bukayo Saka </b>is 'getting closer' to returning from injury. Arteta said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"He is getting closer. He is making very good progress I would say. So let's see how he reacts when we throw him in with the team and how fit he can get."</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10"><span class="ssrcss-cgjb6m-Keyword e2vephq0">And on </span><b class="ssrcss-cgjb6m-Keyword e2vephq0">Ben White's </b>progress following his injury return, he added:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"He has been involved for the last two weeks almost and his knee is not reacting so that is very positive.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"Ben is a really important players for us, he brings something very different to the team dynamic and I am thrilled to have him."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>At left-back, <strong>Myles Lewis-Skelly </strong>got the nod in the Champions League but with Arteta mainly fielding a rotated team, <strong>Riccardo Calafiori </strong>could start his fourth league game in a row.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Press conference notes</h3>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10"><b class="ssrcss-cgjb6m-Keyword e2vephq0">Julian Araujo </b>and<b class="ssrcss-cgjb6m-Keyword e2vephq0"> Marcos Senesi </b>have both been out of action for Bournemouth since November but Andoni Iraola updated reporters on their progress in his pre-match press conference:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">“Julian and Marcos have been cleared to train with us. They’ve been to Finland to see the surgeon, they are doing well and they have started training with us.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">“It’s now going to be a matter of the feelings, the shape and when we think they are ready to play with the team - both are on the right path.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Ryan Christie </strong>is managing an ongoing issue, resulting in reduced minutes in recent weeks. Iraola said they were being cautious with the central midfielder in training and listening to the Scot's feelings when assessing his readiness to play.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Centre-back <b class="ssrcss-cgjb6m-Keyword e2vephq0">Illia Zabarnyi </b>meanwhile is back in contention after returning from his suspension. Iraola said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">“It’s really nice for me to have the options. The team has done well without him but it is always an extra to have a player like Zaba.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">“I hope for him, it’s been some rest that he normally never gets, and that it has been good for him.”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Press conference notes</h3>
<p>Thomas Frank commented on the latest team news:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Sepp [van den Berg] trained the whole week, so there’s a good chance he will be involved. [Michael Kayode] is just a little bit after Sepp, so he is unlikely to be involved. I expect him to be available for Newcastle.</p>
<p>"Fabio [Carvalho] is a longer one. A quick and good recovery could keep the return to play time down, so he could be back just before the end of the season, but it would need to be a top return to play time.</p>
<p>"Too soon for Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry, who are training fully. Gustavo Nunes, Igor Thiago and Josh Dasilva are also unavailable."</p>
</blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Press conference notes</h3>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca commented on how much his side have missed defenders <strong>Wesley Fofana</strong> and <strong>Romeo Lavia, </strong>who will return to the matchday squad:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"Absolutely [we have missed them]. Yes, absolutely. It is not an excuse, it is a reality. It is the same for all the clubs when you lose some important players. In one moment of the season, we lost three players who scored the most goals.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"Nico [Jackson], Noni [Madueke] [are lost] to injuries and Cole [Palmer] at the moment struggles to score goals.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"At the moment, we are in the last four or five weeks and the three guys who score goals for us - two are not available - and one is available and a bit unlucky and missing goals but there are other players that are doing well."</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">On when <strong>Nicolas Jackson</strong> and <strong>Noni Madueke</strong> might return, Marseca said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"We hope after the international break."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>On who will start in goal at the Emirates:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"It will be Robert [Sanchez] playing against Arsenal. I've' said many times we are happy with both goalkeepers. But sometimes you have to be flexible."</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Press conference notes</h3>
<p>Everton manager David Moyes provided the following update on team news:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Armando [Broja] is in and around it. It's a bit like Youssef Chermiti and Seamus Coleman. They've had another 5/6 days training whereas Broja is just back amongst it so he's getting closer.</p>
<p>"Hopefully we will be able to get him on the bench for tomorrow's game."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>On <strong>Iliman Ndiaye</strong>, <strong>Dominic Calvert-Lewin</strong> and <strong>Dwight McNeil</strong>, Moyes added:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Press conference notes</h3>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Fulham boss Marco Silva confirmed <b class="ssrcss-cgjb6m-Keyword e2vephq0">Adama Traore</b> will be available for selection after missing the defeat to Brighton with a knock.</p>
<p>A shortage of options on the right perhaps contributed to Silva opting for three centre-backs last weekend and if Traore is not ready to start, this could be the approach again. Silva said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"Adama is going to be back. [He has] not [had a] full week with the team but the past few days he has been slowly integrated into everything we have been doing.</p>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">"We have have another session tomorrow so probably he will be in contention for the game."</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10">Silva added that 'all the other long-term injuries are going to be the same', while <b class="ssrcss-cgjb6m-Keyword e2vephq0">Sasa Lukic</b> is still suspended after picking up 10 yellow cards.</p>
