Arbeloa on team news, needing to improve defensively and Man Utd

Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester United at Craven Cottage (kick-off 16:30 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Kenny Tete is not available for selection "after the ball hit him in the Anfield game". They will have to "make a decision" on Ryan Sessegnon, who is set to train on Friday, while Tom Cairney is "still recovering". Arbeloa said Fulham have been working on their defensive game "from the first day" and admitted they conceded some "easy goals" against West Ham in the Carabao Cup in midweek. He added: "It's always more or less the same when we score a goal - maybe we are a little bit relaxing. I don't know why but we need to improve and we need to work in this type of situation." On the extended international break: "We will have time to work with the players that stay here with us and we will play a friendly game, but it's not the best moment when you are working so hard. It is what it is and also we are thinking about the game against Manchester United. If we can do a very good game, it will be a better international break." Arbeloa was asked how close he thinks Josh King is to a senior England call-up: "I'm not the coach of the England national team but I think Josh is ready. I don't see too many players like him in this league. He's just 19 years old, with the talent he has and obviously he's a really hard-working player. He's making a difference and I think he has the level to be in the national squad." Arbeloa said they have to play at their "best level, the same level we saw at Anfield" when they face Michael Carrick's side this weekend. He added: "We are facing one of the best teams in the world and we know that and we need to be ready." On Carrick being under pressure, he said: "Every Premier League manager is under pressure. It's not because [of] what comes from outside, it's because you have to be really demanding of yourself. All the managers want to win every weekend. For sure, when you are a coach of a big team you are always under pressure, but same for me because I need to win games. Both teams will want to win the game on Sunday, so it's going to be a good battle." On referees and the technology in the game, Arbeloa said "they can do better for sure" but also stressed that "we are behind them" and "trying to support referees".
