Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Joe Gomez has returned to contention for the first-team squad after making a complete recovery from a foot problem. The England international has been sidelined with the injury since December, but he has managed to return to the mix after an hour-long run-out with the Under 23s.

Speaking in a press conference, Klopp revealed that Gomez is available for selection for the first-team after missing nearly four months of action, he said: “Absolutely [he looks strong]. Ox and Joe both did really well at Leicester, it was a brilliant game by all of the boys, to be honest, I watched it back. It looked really good.

Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus claims that he will be fighting for a first-team spot with Sergio Aguero even if he has been on the losing side more often than not the season. The Brazilian forward has enjoyed an inconsistent 2018-19 campaign. Even by his own admission, the 21-year-old’s form has not been at its best after a scintillating start to his life in the Premier league since coming from Brazil – as an unknown entity in 2016. Jesus was able to come up with a remarkable seven goals in just 10 league outings but he has since scored only six over the last 23 matches.

Jesus is back on international duty with the Brazilian national team and he has admitted that the start to his life in the Premier League was almost unbelievable. However, he is now at a time when he has to fight for his first-team spot knowing that an established centre forward like Sergio Aguero is in front of him in the pecking order. Aguero has the most number of goals in Manchester City’s history and his reputation will be going in front of him. Even though Jesus is on the bench for most of the games, the Brazilian says that he will continue to fight for a starting spot.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be appointed as the permanent manager of the club during the forthcoming international break. The Red Devils have made an outstanding comeback in the Premier League under the guidance of the Norwegian and they continued the same trend in the Champions League, where they secured a shock triumph over Paris Saint-Germain after trailing 2-0 from the first leg of the round of 16.

Speaking after the game, Neville acknowledged that he has been surprised by the stellar 3-1 comeback at Parc des Princes and insists the former Champions League winner has done enough to bag the permanent head coach role with the club, he said: “I can’t believe what’s happened. I thought when he first came in it was just to reconnect the club with the fans, the players, get everybody happy. The right time for me was always mid-March to the end of March and that’s when the international break is. I will be surprised if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not awarded the job during the international break in the next couple of weeks.”

Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez has heaped praise on the team after they secured a 2-0 triumph over Huddersfield Town on Saturday. The Magpies missed the chance to claim maximum points in the previous gameweek against Wolverhampton Wanderers but they managed to respond with a strong showing against the league’s bottom side.

Speaking after the game, Benitez was really pleased with the performance from the Magpies, who managed to curb the early threat from the visitors to dominate the proceedings, he told Sky Sports: "I was really pleased with the performance of the players. Obviously it was more difficult for them with ten players, but they still had chances at the beginning. We created a lot of chances - I think we hit the crossbar or the post four times. We needed to win, and we won well. It does not matter for me whether we pick up three points at home or away, but as we play Burnley next at home, hopefully we can carry our good home run."

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has expressed his delight over the performance of Sergio Aguero in the 3-1 triumph over Arsenal. The Citizens were on the wrong side of a shock 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United earlier in the week but they managed to make amends by beating the Gunners with Aguero starring with a 10th Premier League hat-trick.

Speaking after the game, Guardiola was pleased with the showing of Aguero, who managed to score for the fourth successive match across all competitions, he told Sky Sports: “Everybody knows about his [Aguero's] goals. It's important how you fight, so I think he is incredible. I know it is not for his body to run like Gabriel [Jesus] or Bernardo [Silva] or the other ones, but he tried to do absolutely everything and that for the team will never be a problem for us. Of course he scores a lot of goals and in that way it is important.”

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has said that he is unsure whether the current season could be the last for goalkeeper Petr Cech. The former Czech international has not featured for the Gunners since picking up a hamstring problem in September and during this period, he has played second fiddle to Bernd Leno between the sticks.

Owing to this, there has been regular speculation that Cech could be released at the expiry of his contract in the summer and Emery has now hinted that could be the case.

Manchester United legend Roy Keane believes the Red Devils won’t be overly concerned with the situation of Paul Pogba, should the Frenchman leave the club in the near future. The France international has undergone a disappointing season with United where he was been inconsistent with his performances and of late, he has been a regular on the substitutes’ bench.

Due to this, there has been increased speculation that the midfielder could make way from the Red Devils next year and Keane feels United can handle the situation with much concern, he told Sky Sports News: "I think there are one or two problems with players, obviously not on top form. And the obvious one being Pogba. If he's sitting on the bench today and not getting on then you're thinking his days must be numbered. I don't think they'll do anything with Pogba in January but come the summer you move him on and it's no big deal, he's left Manchester United before."

Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson has said that there is a sense of disappointment after the Reds failed to make the most of their chances during the recent Premier League clash at Arsenal. Jurgen Klopp’s side appeared destined for another win after James Milner scored before the hour mark but they were pegged back in the final 10 minutes with Alexandre Lacazette impressively curling in the equaliser from close range.

Speaking after the game, Robertson admitted that the result is a tough one to take, given the Reds had more clear-cut opportunities to put the game to bed, he told the club’s official website: “It was a hard one because we took the lead and this season we’ve been really good at holding on to leads. I thought that was going to be the case. We lost a poor goal from our point of view. If you look back on the game they probably had more possession but the clear-cut chances have all fallen to us. On another day we could have been a bit more comfortable, but two good teams went at it and a draw is probably a fair result.”

Chelsea attacker Willian believes his side have no one to fear in the Premier League title race and they are prepared to fight until the end to reclaim the English crown. The Blues have won the Premier League title in two of the previous four campaigns and they are now on the hunt for yet another league crown after making a strong start to the season.

As such, Willian feels the Blues have the opportunity to offer a strong challenge for the title this term with new manager Maurizio Sarri bringing the best out of the players at the west London club, he said: “We have no one to fear in the Premier League this season, we have a team who will fight until the end and I am sure we are going to do that. It’s been a very good start, we’ve played good football and it’s all credit to Sarri. The way he works, it is all about playing good football and he has given us more opportunities to show our quality more. I am not here to criticise other managers or how they worked because every manager has a different philosophy.”

With Joachim Low recently reiterating that there will be no Germany return for Mesut Ozil, the footballing world was in mourning at the very real prospect that we will never see the midfielder on the international stage again.

Regardless of whether you accept or reject Ozil's comments surrounding the German national team policy, one thing that cannot be disputed is his class on the pitch and the team are sure to miss his creativity in the middle of the park. With that being said, just how much of a blow will Ozil's absence be to Germany and do they have any ready made replacements for the Arsenal star?
