Fulham

Let's hear from Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa, who started with a direct question - whether he was concerned about his future at the club:

"I am focused on my players, on my team. That is the most important thing.

"It is not about me, it is about the club, the players and the supporters.

"We are waiting for the game when the performance turns into the result."

Fulham have not yet won in the Premier League under Arbeloa, losing four and drawing two of their first six games.

With no wins in Alvaro Arbeloa's first six Premier League matches as Fulham manager, there are reports of unrest in the camp and pressure on his job.

The Telegraph, external suggests that Real Madrid's former interim manager is struggling to convince his players about this season's switch to a more expansive playing style.

They have moved away from the tried and trusted methods under previous manager Marco Silva, who led Fulham to a mid-table finish last season.

And with the club bottom of the table, two points from safety, the Standard reports, external that Arbeloa now has two games to save his job - at home to newly promoted Hull City on Saturday and away to last season's Championship winners Coventry next weekend.

There is no escaping that Fulham head coach Alvaro Arbeloa faces a potentially pivotal weekend.

Just six Premier League games into his reign, doubts are emerging over his position.

His methods haven’t gone down particularly well with the squad and his treatment of certain players, too, has raised surprise from within the playing staff.

But it is results that will ultimately determine Arbeloa’s future. He is without a win in the league and Fulham currently sit bottom of the table with two points.

Tony Khan, the club’s director of football operations, is understandably desperate for the appointment to be a success.

Arbeloa was somewhat of a left-field appointment, following this summer's departure of former boss Marco Silva to Benfica. But for a handful of games in interim charge of Real Madrid following the dismissal of Xabi Alonso, he has no real body of work.

Hiring the 43-year-old was a gamble, but one Fulham and Khan believed was worth taking.

It hasn’t gone according to plan and another poor result against Hull on Saturday will leave Arbeloa’s position under heavy internal scrutiny.

Glad you could join us on a busy day of Premier League news conferences.

We are kicking off today with Fulham's Alvaro Arbeloa and Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler.

The two managers have enjoyed contrasting fortunes at the start of this season.

Fulham are rock bottom of the Premier League, with Arbeloa still searching for his first league win since taking over from Marco Silva in the summer and doubts already emerging about his position - more on those reports in a moment.

Meanwhile, the Seagulls are soaring at home and in Europe under Hurzeler - third in the Premier League, into the last 16 of the League Cup and top of the Conference League table.

We will hear from Arbeloa first, and then Hurzeler.
