Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via Mirror): "We have good momentum, shown our qualities over past three months. Players deserve huge amount of credit. At home we're always confident."

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal (via BBC): "I am old. This is my last job, for sure. I have to pay attention to my kids, my grandchildren, but also to my wife. They deserve it. Now, I cannot pay that attention. I was not at the birthday of my grandson, for example. I don't like it."
