NoonManchester City v Arsenal live
The Gunners are struggling just a handful of matches into the season, having drawn in their recent games and underachieving in a 1-1 draw against Villa last weekend. The Gunners already trail the Blues by 4 points. Manchester City, meanwhile, have rebounded from their opening round loss to notch up three wins in a row and sit third in the WSL standings, while Arsenal are in surprising fifth place. Minute-by-minute updates will be available.
Two in the afternoonQualifying for the Singapore GP
Real-time coverage will keep you up to date in what is bound to be a compelling session. Consecutive victories for Max Verstappen have injected more intrigue to the title race. Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris will be keen for solid performances in the Singapore GP. The team's dominance for most of the season means they are likely to claim a tenth constructors championship on Sunday, but Verstappen’s resurgence has triggered a few nerves. While Piastri still is ahead of Norris by 25 points in what seems a two-driver battle for the driver’s title, any mistakes could let Verstappen to reduce the 69-pt deficit to the lead.
3pmArsenal v West Ham and Manchester United v Sunderland live
Live blog on important matches with a pair of coaches especially in focus. The constant focus on Ruben Amorim’s travails at Manchester United has increased to critical, and the match with Sunderland has all the makings of a decisive moment before the international break. The manager's fiftieth match in charge might be his final, despite United having won their last two home fixtures. After 49 games, his stats stands at: 18 wins, drawn 12, lost 19. That 36.7 percent win rate is much lower with his predecessor Erik ten Hag’s 70 percent at the same stage. The Hammers, meanwhile, run out for their second match under Nuno, after Monday's 1-1 tie at Everton. The Hammers have the curious record of having defeated the Gunners in consecutive games at the Emirates Stadium. A further loss at home by their London rivals appears improbable given the Gunners’ recent form – six victories from their past eight Premier League matches.
5:30 PMChelsea v Liverpool live
Saturday’s evening match sees the meeting of clubs in a poor run. Maresca's Chelsea have endured back-to-back Premier League losses, to Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion, while the title holders lost 2-1 to Palace before slipping up in the Champions League in Istanbul in midweek. Slot's team are without a win in their past four Premier League games at their home ground but have not lost consecutive league matches since last April. Looking for omens?

Quarter to twelvePrix de l’Arc de Triomphe live
Full coverage and washup from one of the racing calendar’s biggest races will be provided. In a field of 17 for the 3:05 PM feature race, the Aidan O’Brien-trained the favorite is the 3/1 favourite after being handed a favourable draw in gate 1. The trainer, who is aiming for a third win in the race, also fields Los Angeles, third last year, but the horse will have to defy stall 14 to win. Another runner, who is just behind the favorite in the betting, was given gate 12. Chances of a maiden Japanese-trained winner were dealt a blow, with the Japanese Derby winner, one entry, and the Prix Foy victor, Byzantine Dream, assigned in stalls 17 and 15 respectively. Their countryman Alohi Alii appears more favorably positioned in gate 4. André Fabre’s pair of two runners fared better with gates 3 and 8 respectively, while Francis-Henri Graffard’s three had reasonable draws.
One in the afternoonLive: Singapore GP
Real-time coverage of the big race under the Singapore lights will be provided.
