SOME OF THE ANCELOTTI PRE MATCH BRIGHTON P/C
R.I.P Prince Philip
Ancelotti starts by offering the condolences from everyone at #EFC to the Queen and Royal Family following the death of Prince Philip
Injury latest
Carlo Ancelotti confirms that Andre Gomes will not be available for Monday’s game against Brighton. Allan has trained this morning but will be checked ahead of Brighton. Iwobi is back. Delph and Bernard are following their individual plans and Jordan Pickford is not 100% and won't be risked
Doucoure latest
He will play again this season. He had the scan last week, everything was ok. He's going to have his next scan in three weeks and then he can start to train
Carlo on Palace Game
The biggest lesson is when we have the possibility to kill the game, we have to kill the game. Unfortunately we conceded in the last period and we have to accept the result and keep the performance, which was much better. At home we could do much better
On social media
I fully support this fight against racism and online abuse. It's not tolerable to receive abuse online or racism
James importance
When James Rodriguez is fit, we have more possibility up front, we have more opportunities.
All the time he was fit we had more opportunities. It is absolutely normal we signed him for this reason, to have more opportunities up front
Carlo on Brighton
They are playing good football, they have a clear idea. We have to defend well and use our quality, because we don't want to play a game to wait and try to do something on the counter attack.
In this period, there are no teams that don't need points. Every team needs points. For us it's vital to try and reach the target of Europe. Every team is involved, and this is the reason the Premier League is so exciting."
Taking chances
We talk about Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin. I can say they have really good ability in the box, usually they are really clinical and they have been this season. In this situation against Palace they were not clinical, this is the truth.
After that what can I say, I am really satisfied for their season. They had an episode and I can say if they have the same chances as against Crystal Palace, they will score
Carlo on Gbamin
I think that Jean-Philippe Gbamin can play. He's training properly, he's not used to the intensity of the Premier League so we have to take care of this. Now, with the medical staff, we have to decide how long he can play. He will be a fantastic midfielder.
Carlo on King
Josh is doing well, he didn’t play a lot. It’s true he played more when we played a different system, now we have a lot of midfielders out we changed the shape to play with wing-backs, he’s not a wing-back. He can play as a striker and also as a winger
Carlo on King Contract
No we haven't talked about the future, because we are not talking about the future in this moment. The future of the structure of next season won't be discussed now because we are so involved in the games, maybe later
Carlo on James
Why do you always talk about James to that same reporter who asks the same stuff every week 
He has completely recovered. Playing improves his condition. We have to take care to recover him well after games, but his condition is good and he is motivated
It's difficult to say if he's 100%. He's pushing in training, he's working well, so his condition is good. There's no doubt about this.
Carlo on Youth/Lewis Warrington
I think that we have a good academy, not only Lewis but there are players training with us a lot of times. I can say that our academy is a good academy, because we have players with talent. I think we have a good future in that sense, “I hope soon we are going to have more Ross Barkley for the future of this club [Barkley reference is referring to the question from the Journalist who specifically mentioned Ross Barkley when asking about the academy]
