It’s that time of the week again when yellow flags are removed, added or turned to red/orange: the pre-Gameweek 11 press conferences are set to begin.
So far, we’ve got four pressers scheduled to take place on Thursday. There’s a chance that more could be added to the list, however.
We’ll have the headline Gameweek 11 team news from these media gatherings in the article below. We will gradually add more quotes as and when the press conferences become available to watch in full.
We expect the rest of the top-flight managers to hold pressers on Friday. For the latest on those clubs, check out our early team news round-up.

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION
Joao Pedro (ankle) and Matt O’Riley (ankle) have been back in training for a week now and have a “big chance” of featuring against Manchester City.
Fabian Hurzeler seemed less sure about Lewis Dunk (calf) and Yankuba Minteh (muscle), however. Media reports had previously suggested Dunk would be out until after the international break.
Adam Webster (hamstring) and James Milner (hamstring) are still sidelined, while Solly March (knee) is injury-free but not match-fit enough to return after a lengthy lay-off.
A knee issue restricted Carlos Baleba to substitute duty in Gameweek 10, meanwhile.
Yasin Ayari also limped out of last Saturday’s game with a knock but should be fit, according to his boss.
“Some of them for sure will return. So, I think especially, Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley, they have a big chance. With Minteh and Lewis Dunk, we have to see the next days. For Solly, it’s too early.
“[Ayari] will train today, so I think he might be an option for the weekend.” – Fabian Hurzeler

Such a quiet day for team news. Plenty of time for the editor to write an article about the impact of losing Rodri on City then. When keeping/selling Haaland is the decision that will make or break FPL seasons, I think it would be more than a little useful (I could write it but don't have the time). When official FPL is putting out highly detailed, quality content like this for free https://www.premierleague.com/news/4165427 scout needs to up its game for the paid members content.
