After rounding up Thursday’s press conferences in our first team news summary of the week, we finish the job with a recap of the virtual media gatherings that were held on Friday.
For more detailed information, keep tabs on our predicted line-ups, which will be updated throughout the afternoon.
Our video round-up with Andy and Neale is also available to view below:
Manchester City
Tottenham Hotspur
🗣️ Mourinho on Kane: "I wanted to come here with the best team and the players that could give us more opportunities to win the game and get a good result, but he made the decision based on his feelings. His feelings were that to play this game could be a risk."#FFScout #FPL

🗣️ Jose Mourinho: "I think Reguilon next week against Wolfsberger, home match. Not Gio [Lo Celso]. No, no, no. Gio is still a few weeks away and of course we need him because he gives us lots of qualities and options and we've missed him for a long time."#FFScout #FPL #GW25 pic.twitter.com/gVxazvVayK

Manchester United
🗣️ Solskjaer to the club's in-house media: "We think, or hope, both of them [Donny and Edinson will be fit] but we’re not sure. Maybe one, maybe two, maybe none. It’s one of those tight ones where you’ve got to make a call, probably after training on Saturday."#FFScout #FPL

Leicester City
🗣️ Brendan Rodgers on Castagne/Pereira: "Both of those boys will be available we think. They trained really well today. We’re just having to manage Ricardo. We gave him the rest and a recovery period in midweek & he should come into the reckoning for the weekend."#FFScout #FPL pic.twitter.com/ipuDwNA9Nd

Everton
🗣️ Carlo Ancelotti: "For the fact that we have a lot of games in this period it's important to have all the squad available. This is important, we can rotate a little bit and keep the squad more fresh."#FFScout #FPL #GW25 #DGW25 #EvertonFC

Chelsea
🗣️ Thomas Tuchel: "Thiago will be out for the game, he's not ready. We have some issues with the calf of Christian Pulisic, nothing big, just feels tight. There's a big question mark for Christian."#FFScout #FPL #GW25 #DGW25 #FantasyPL

🗣️ Tuchel on Ziyech being out of favour: "It's my fault, it's not his fault. My hard decisions in the moment for Mason, Callum and Christian in the half-spaces".#FFScout #FPL #GW25 #DGW25 #FantasyPL

Liverpool
🗣️ Jurgen Klopp: "Naby trained yesterday with the team so we have to see what we make of it. Fabinho was not in training. Fab gets closer, Millie gets closer, Diogo gets closer – but not close enough for the weekend."#FFScout #FPL #GW25 #DGW25 #LFC pic.twitter.com/yvD67lIJAK
