Saturday
8am BSTMatchday updates
Our key entry point to the day of football action starts at 8am. Updates will examine the four Premier League fixtures, from the early kick-off between Tottenham v Leeds and the late afternoon clash of Liverpool v Chelsea. Squad updates and latest developments will be included, as well as analysis from Friday night’s Fulham v Bournemouth match and the Championship showdown Wrexham v Birmingham. Additionally, in the Championship, Stoke City meet Blackburn Rovers, while Hull take on Sheffield Utd.
12pmArsenal v Manchester City live
Arsenal are struggling just four games into the season, having dropped points in their recent games and disappointing in a 1-1 draw against Villa last Saturday. The Gunners lag Chelsea by four points. Manchester City, meanwhile, have rebounded from their first game defeat to secure a trio of wins and hold third place in the WSL table, whereas Arsenal are in unexpected fifth. Real-time reporting will be offered.
2pmF1 Singapore qualifying
Live updates will keep you up to date in what is certain to be a compelling session. Consecutive victories for Max Verstappen have injected a bit of spice to the championship battle. Piastri and Lando Norris will be desperate for solid performances in the Singapore GP. The team's strong form for the majority of the season means they are likely to wrap up a tenth constructors championship on Sunday, but Verstappen’s resurgence has caused a few nerves. While Piastri still is ahead of Norris by 25 points in what still looks like a two-driver battle for the driver's championship, any setbacks could allow the Red Bull driver to close the 69-point gap to first place.
Three in the afternoonLive: Arsenal vs West Ham & Man Utd vs Sunderland
Coverage on key fixtures with two coaches especially under the spotlight. The constant attention on Amorim's struggles at United has ramped up to a crucial point, and the match with Sunderland has all the signs of a turning point before the break for internationals. The manager's 50th match in charge may be his last, even though United winning their last two home fixtures. Following 49 matches, Amorim’s record reads: won 18, drawn 12, 19 losses. That 36.7% win rate is much lower with his predecessor ten Hag's 70 percent at the equivalent point. West Ham, on the other hand, run out for their second match under Nuno Espírito Santo, after Monday's 1-1 tie at Goodison Park. West Ham have the curious record of having defeated the Gunners in consecutive games at the Emirates. Another loss at home by their London rivals seems unlikely given the Arsenal's recent form – six wins from their past eight top-flight matches.
5:30 PMChelsea v Liverpool live
The late afternoon match sees the collision of teams in a poor run. Maresca's Blues have suffered successive Premier League defeats, to United and Brighton, while the defending champions lost 2-1 to Palace before stumbling in the European competition in Istanbul in the week. Arne Slot’s side are without a win in their past four Premier League games at Stamford Bridge but have not lost consecutive league matches since April 2023. Looking for signs? Alexander Isak, the Reds' new signing, has found the net in his last two Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge, though both games resulted in defeats for his former team Newcastle United. Live blog will be hosted.
Sunday
8amMatchday coverage
Updates will sort through the fallout from Saturday's matches before focusing on a Sunday's fixture list that features five Premier League matches as well as the East Anglian derby, as Ipswich welcome Norwich City in the Championship at lunchtime. In the Scottish Premiership, both Glasgow giants are in play. Celtic take on Motherwell and struggling Rangers travel to Falkirk. On the continent, Barcelona v Sevilla is among five La Liga games, while Juventus FC face AC Milan in a high-profile Serie A match.
Quarter to twelveLive: Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe
All the buildup and washup from one of the horse racing's most prestigious races will be available. In a field of 17 for the 3:05 PM feature race, the Aidan O’Brien-trained Minnie Hauk is the 3-1 favourite after being given a ideal starting position in stall one. O’Brien, who is seeking a third win in the race, also runs another contender, third-placed last year, but the horse will have to overcome stall 14 to win. Another runner, who is just after the favorite in the betting, was given stall 12. Hopes of a first Japanese winner were diminished, with the Japanese Derby winner, one entry, and the Prix Foy victor, Byzantine Dream, drawn in stalls 17 and 15 respectively. Their countryman a third Japanese runner appears better placed in gate 4. André Fabre’s pair of two runners did better with stalls three and eight each, while Graffard's three Daryz, Quisisana and Gezora.
1:00 PMLive: Singapore GP
Live updates of the main event under the Singapore lights will be provided. Clearly Max Verstappen has momentum – he was runner-up at his home Grand Prix in the Netherlands before his victories in Italy and Baku – but likely still requires a major the team's drop in form, as well as victories in the seven remaining races and three sprints, to {clin
