Stay up to date with all the latest Premier League news with our round-up of the key talking points from today\u2019s top-flight press conferences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Pep Guardiola does not think Erling Haaland will be fit to play in Manchester City\u2019s match against Crystal Palace on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Asked whether the striker could return after missing the last two games, the Spanish manager was not optimistic.\u00a0<\/p>\n Guardiola, 52, said: \u201cI don\u2019t think so. Maybe surprisingly they tell me something new but I don\u2019t think so.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Yet the Treble-winning coach denied he was worried about Haaland\u2019s absence.\u00a0<\/p>\n He added: \u201cIt\u2019s not a fracture, it\u2019s just stress and sometimes with players they recover quicker, sometimes longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe moment he doesn\u2019t have symptoms, doesn\u2019t feel pain, he\u2019ll be ready to play again.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahead of a crunch match at Anfield on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp played down talk of Manchester United\u2019s poor form and last season\u2019s 7-0 victory being an advantage for Liverpool.\u00a0<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI never like when the headlines about United are not great before we play because it is the game where they can put everything right.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t follow United closely enough to know what\u2019s the problem there. But I saw Erik ten Hag became Manager of the Month last month, I saw they were the team in form last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHow can it be all wrong? I just don\u2019t understand it.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe 7-0 we knew on the day was a freakish result that happens once in a life pretty much. If it helps anybody for the next game, it\u2019s the team who lost 7-0 and not the team who won.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIf we just play a football game against the historical rival at home at Anfield, that itself makes it a special game and that\u2019s what I want to see. A special game.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Mikel Arteta has praised the independent regulatory commission\u2019s decision to clear him of an FA charge following his comments on the officiating of Arsenal\u2019s defeat to Newcastle.\u00a0<\/p>\n Speaking ahed of Sunday\u2019s game against Brighton, the Gunners boss, 41, said: \u201cIt was a good, well-run process.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThey explained how they felt, I explained how I felt. The outcome is I\u2019m not charged.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe have to draw a line and look at how we can be more constructive, learn from it and move forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe pressure we are under as managers and how important details are, we depend on results. When the outcome is that important, we get emotional about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Mauricio Pochettino has spoken of his disappointment after Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez picked up a knee injury in the recent defeat to Everton.\u00a0<\/p>\n He said: \u201cWe lost our No1 keeper so far, always it\u2019s a player you are going to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe have other keepers who are working hard to be ready when this type of thing happens.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Asked whether he had faith in Djordje Petrovic, who is likely to start against Sheffield United, the Argentine was positive.\u00a0<\/p>\n Poch, 51, added: \u201cI have faith in all my players. He arrived to Chelsea because he has potential. Of course he\u2019s young and came from different football.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAfter four or five months working with us it\u2019s the moment for him to step up and feel good. We have the confidence in him, we trust him, his team-mates trust in him.\u201d<\/p>\n Eddie Howe has asked the Newcastle faithful to give his team a boost ahead of their home match with Fulham.<\/p>\n The Magpies lost at St James\u2019 Park against AC Milan in midweek, which saw them finish bottom of their Champions League group.\u00a0<\/p>\n Howe, 46, said: \u201cI would encourage the supporters to make the environment as best as they can for the players.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe need the players playing with absolute freedom, with excitement, with joy \u2014 all that we have seen at St James\u2019 Park over my two years here.<\/p>\n \u201cTheir support has been absolutely incredible. I understand how they will be feeling but we need to inspire them tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n David Moyes was full of praise for midfielder Edson Alvarez prior to West Ham\u2019s home clash with Wolves on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n The summer signing, 26, found the net as the Hammers beat Freiburg 2-0 last night to win their Europa League group.\u00a0<\/p>\n And Moyes said: \u201cI think he has made a big impression very quickly. He\u2019s helped us get some big results.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s settled in quickly. I think he\u2019s still getting used to the Premier League, the intensity and the number of games.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cPlayers from abroad, for example, aren\u2019t always used to playing at this time of the year. But he\u2019s doing very well and settled in well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Mexico international Alvarez was signed from Ajax in August for \u00a335million.<\/p>\nPep has Haaland fitness doubts<\/h2>\n
