Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna was asked about potential departures before the transfer window closes: "Ali Al-Hamadi has been having conversations with different clubs.

"George Edmundson has been recalled but there have been discussions there."

On who he expects to name in his starting line-up for the trip to Liverpool: "Nothing too drastically different [from last weekend]. [Sammie] Szmodics and Conor Chaplin will still fall short. The boys who missed out last week will still be unavailable."

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna on new signing Julio Enciso: "He's a very talented young player. He's had some great experiences at a young age and had a really good impact at Brighton. It's a good move for both parties and hopefully it will be a good boost for us."

McKenna confirmed that the 21 year-old is available for selection against Liverpool on Saturday.

Before we leave you for the day, we've just got a couple of updates to bring you from Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna's news conference - including an update on new signing Julio Enciso's availability for Saturday's trip to Liverpool!

Rangers

In the last five games across all competitions Rangers have not lost.

In four Scottish Premiership matches they have drawn against Hibernian and Dundee and beaten St Johnstone and Aberdeen.

In the Scottish Cup last time out they defeated Fraserburgh 5-0.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim will be in the dugout for the club's home match against Rangers in the Europa League tonight.

He was asked in his press conference about the clubs' form playing at Old Trafford: "It's clear. We are more nervous playing at home than away and it's getting harder."

And he added on United's form: "I am not taking the responsibility from the players. I am saying, and I am really direct in these things, at this moment we are performing really badly and our results are really bad.

"I'm saying the obvious. If you want, I can be delusional and say different things. But I say it as I saw it.

"I think it is a good thing to be really honest. You saw one thing, I saw one thing. If you are in the stadium you can understand it. So let's face it and work on it."

Alex: Re: Hoffenheim's form @ 14:59 - Seems like a good case for Dr. Tottenham!

Manchester United

Manchester United have lost four of their past five league games at Old Trafford.

United's six defeats in their opening 12 home league games is their worst performance since 1893-94.

As things stand both Manchester United and Rangers are in spots to qualify for the knockout stage of the Europa League.

United are seventh with 12 points and two group games remaining. Rangers are eighth with 11 points and two group games to go.

However, the table is a tight one with 25th place Elfsborg on seven points and so it is still possible for one or both of Manchester United or Rangers to not qualify.

The automatic qualifying spots cut off after eighth place and so both sides will be vying to stay in the top of the table.

Matt: Sorry Alex 14:57, but no I much prefer Slot currently, and Klopp before him. Maybe Chelsea fans with their Pep lite in Maresca but no other team has the open cheque book he needs to succeed.

Andy:Alex @14:57 - Very true. Let’s swap him with a Championship or League One team and see how he fares when he doesn’t have a billion pounds or world-class players.

Benjamin: Nah I'm alright y'know Alex. I'll stick with Slot.

Juventus have confirmed the signing of Paris St-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Kolo Muani, 26, joined the French giants 18 months ago in a £76.4m deal but has failed to reach the heights he did at Eintracht Frankfurt during his time in Paris.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou said last week that Spurs had previous interest in the France international, however, the 26-year-old will not be Premier League bound in this window.

Spurs' Premier League title hopes have long dwindled with the club currently 15th in the table and 26 points behind leaders Liverpool.

They have had inconsistent performances this season and so silverware hopes are all pinned on the cup competitions.

In the Carabao Cup, they are in the semi-final and won their first leg against Liverpool 1-0. The second leg is set to be played on 6 February.

In the FA Cup they are through to the fourth round where they play Aston Villa on 9 February.

In the Europa League table they are currently ninth, which is a play-off spot. They are only outside the top eight qualification places on goal difference with two games left to play. The table is so tight though that they will want to win both of their final group matches to put themselves in the best possible position to progress.

Hoffenheim have a lot of work to do if they are going to progress in the Europa League.

They are currently 27th in the table after winning one of six of their matches.

The German side have also only won one of their past five games across all competitions.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was asked about the transfer window in his news conference before their Europa League match.

Asked if the club may not sign anyone, he said: "Potentially. The club is working hard to get some help for the players. As far as I'm aware, there's nothing imminent, but in the last week of the window things happen quickly."

Tottenham Hotspur

While Tottenham's injury list is long, there are some stars on their way back.

Rodrigo Bentancur should be fit to return later, while Cristian Romero is likely to be back in a week to 10 days.

Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr could be back for this weekend's Premier League match against Leicester

Tottenham's injury crisis is so deep that they could field a starting XI with the players they have unavailable this evening.

They even have surplus as defender Sergio Reguilon and goalkeeper Antonin Kinksy would be on the bench of the injured team as they are sidelined too.

Have a look at the injury XI:

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham will be kicking-off in Germany in around three hours time when they face Hoffenheim in the Europa League.

Spurs, who start ninth, need a win to get into an automatic round of 16 position.

But what sort of team will Ange Postecoglou be fielding?

Spurs host Leicester on Sunday (14:00 GMT). They also have a lot of injuries.

Southampton

Southampton boss Ivan Juric on Kamaldeen Sulemana: "I think he's had some really good games since I've arrived and he will not play against Newcastle because he has a little injury. Like Tyler Dibling, I think he will stay here. I think we will find a way to play with these two young guys, they did really well and now we are losing them because of their injuries. In the future it will be a good option for us."
