What They're Saying
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe (via the Daily Star): "I would imagine it's very different to jump from being a Championship manager to then managing in the Premier League."
Watford manager Slavisa Jokanovic (via Sky Sports): "I explained if we're going to try and play some football and make some passes and fight all together, we can resolve this problem."
