TIMESTAMPS
0:00 INTRO
0:10 Viktor Gyokeres is not available, we need to do tests and scans soon.
1:01 We have been dealing with getting the right freshness with the players for a while now. It will be a tough match.
1:22 Hopefully they will move our Premier League match back against Everton before Crystal Palace cup tie
1:55 Not a good sign with Gyokeres as he is very explosive.
2:25 We defend very well at the moment.
3:13 I will leave the request to change the Premier League game to the club.
3:37 I am sure we will apply the principle of putting the players and supporters first. We need to have equality.
4:02 Gyokeres was very disappointed after the match. We will help him deal with it.
4:36 It is very difficult to keep up our current UCL record. Slavia Praha are a great side.

5:52 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain trainming with you? he is a top character and player. We want to help him it would be a joy.
