Liverpool manager Mikel Arteta is set to speak with his counterpart Eddie Howe at the Premier League's winter conference, where they are expected to discuss their teams' strategies for the remainder of the season.
Arteta has said that Liverpool's impressive form in the Champions League this year has been key to their success. "The Premier League has become a bit more of an 'in the box' game," he explained. "While in the Champions League, there is more play between both boxes."
However, Arteta was coy on the topic of whether Liverpool would make a late move in the January window, saying only that they are always looking to strengthen their squad if it makes sense.
On the opposite side of town, Manchester United Women manager Marc Skinner has stated that his team will not be signing any more players before Tuesday's WSL deadline day. "Unless there's a miracle, probably not," he said. Skinner revealed that the club is pleased with the early business they have done this winter, having signed players such as Hanna Lundkvist and Lea Schüller.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing Liverpool's Jude Bellingham in the summer transfer window, while Arsenal and Liverpool are also chasing Eduardo Camavinga. Real Madrid, meanwhile, are targeting Diogo Dalot to replace some of their best assets that were lost during a recent dressing room clear-out.
Crystal Palace's proposed move for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has hit a snag after the Eagles pulled out of talks over a £50m deal. The club is said to be ready to veto any transfer involving Norwegian striker Jean-Philippe Mateta if they cannot seal a deal for him first.
As we head into the weekend, there are plenty of games to look forward to in the Premier League and across Europe. With Leeds taking on Arsenal, Liverpool facing Newcastle, and Tottenham hosting Manchester City, it promises to be an exciting weekend of football.
In the Champions League, the knockout phase draw will take place later today, with teams from England competing against their European counterparts in a bid for qualification. And as ever, there will be plenty of transfer news leading up to Tuesday's deadline day.
