'Nothing more anticlimactic than winning the league in Covid'
Chelsea v Arsenal (Sun, 12:30 BST)
Chelsea
Chelsea Women boss Emma Hayes has been speaking to the media before her league-leading side take on third-placed Arsenal on Sunday.
On Magda Eriksson and Pernille Harder leaving Chelsea: "There's not enough words to describe the impact Magda, particularlybecause she's been here longer, has on the club.
“She’s [Harder] one of the most eccentric characters I've evercoached. I will miss her eccentricity no question. Her attention to detail, herthirst for winning. Both of them are going to provide their next club with alot of quality and we've lost a lot, no doubt, but we're equally happy for bothof them and we're very proud of everything they've done.
On Millie Bright: "I expect Millie to make the WorldCup, but there's no guarantees of anything in life. I know she saw the surgeona couple of days ago and they were really happy with it, so I have no reason tobelieve she won't make it."
On Chelsea v Arsenal fixtures: "I love them, I've made no secret of that. Idon't think we've performed our best against Arsenal, particularly the lastgame. Arsenal have shown their spirit, their qualities even with theirinjuries. They are a top team."
On whether winning the title on Sunday would be anti-climactic: "We won a league in COVID once when it was givento us over the telephone so nothing's going to get more anticlimactic thanthat."

'I have had so many pinch-myself moments'
BBC SportCopyright: BBC Sport
This week has probably been the first time I've really missed football. I was waiting for it to hit me.
Otherwise I have felt fine since retiring. I'm making sure I'm still speaking to people about how I'm feeling because sometimes prevention is better than cure. I know my life has changed a lot this past year.
Sometimes that shift in life can hit you later on, but this past week I've played in two charity matches and being back on the pitch, calling for the ball and talking people through the game - I've missed it.
Since retiring, I've done quite a lot of talks on things like team building and sharing stories of my journey. I've really enjoyed it. It's got me thinking about little ideas for the future.
I've done a bit of punditry, podcasts and TV which I've enjoyed too. I can't think of anything I've done where I've thought 'I absolutely hated that'.
Ultimately, my goal is to go back into coaching because I love it, but you never know what the future is going to hold.

Inthe coming period AZ will – together with the police, Public ProsecutionService, and Alkmaar’s municipality – evaluate exactly what happened, how itcould have happened and what needs to be improved from now on. It is clear thatthings need to be improved. Part of the evaluation is a thorough review of allavailable footage so that appropriate consequences may follow for thoseresponsible for this outrageous behavior.
AZ isa civilised club where sportsmanship and norms and values are paramount. Theclub will do everything possible, together with the authorities involved, toidentify these persons and to take appropriate measures.
That's all the managers covered...
We're closing up shortly.
Just a few more bits for you. Thanks for joining us.

"You have to have an idea that he can make things happen at anypoint. You have to be at your best when he does those things.
"I can’t compare him to [Didier] Drogba as they’re two individuals buthe had that impact over a long period oftime. Haaland's impact has been more instant, straight from joining the Premier League. It’s not adirect comparison but both are great strikers."
