Saturday

8am BSTMatchday live

Kicking off the weekend's coverage is our essential hub for the weekend’s bumper football programme. Our host will be previewing the four Premier League games, alongside Championship, EFL and Scottish Premiership matches, and sharing breaking news and fan interaction. Feel free to get involved.

12:00 PMEverton v Arsenal live

Saturday’s early Women’s Super League fixture features Arsenal touching down to Goodison Park fresh from victories over Liverpool and Twente. Arsenal are fourth in the table, while Everton stand at ninth but halted Chelsea’s long unbeaten run last weekend with a 1-0 win. A preview noted that Everton are “a very unpredictable team” who “can do different things,” requiring opponents to assess their plan early. Minute-by-minute updates will be helmed by the presenter, with correspondent on the ground.

15:00Afternoon Watch

Our host is in the hotseat the coverage on two of Saturday afternoon’s key games. Chelsea have been inconsistent. The side are without a win in their last three Premier League matches and meet an Everton side who are on a roll, having won four of their last five league matches. Meanwhile, Liverpool have hit a rough patch from a loss of form and internal fallout, though their midweek European win shows they are far from a spent force. They face Brighton, who beat them 3-2 in their last meeting. Reporters will be filing updates from both venues.

8pmTop Hosts Bottom

A matchup of top versus rock bottom, and the signs are not good for Wolves. Arsenal have won their last eight Premier League games against them. Adding to that, Wolves remain winless in all 15 Premier League games this season. Arsenal are looking to win five consecutive home Premier League matches and bounce back from their loss last week. A 3-0 midweek win in Europe suggests that defeat was a blip, though a growing injury list is a worry. Our live blog will be managed by our host, with correspondent at the Emirates.

Sunday

08:00Weekend Roundup

Our hosts are on duty to keep you abreast of all Sunday’s football action. This includes five games in the WSL, the same number in the Premier League, the Scottish League Cup final, and key European fixtures involving clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. There will be goal updates from the lunchtime WSL kick-offs, analysis from Saturday’s games, and a preview to Monday night’s Premier League meeting.

14:00Clockwatch

The presenter hosts our live blog with two key games front and centre. Crystal Palace confront Manchester City for the first time since Palace’s cup final win, though their home league record against City is poor. City arrive after a thrilling European fightback and as the league’s leading scorers. In the other game, Tottenham travel to a struggling Nottingham Forest. Spurs' away record is strong, with only one team having won more away games this season. Correspondents will be on site for both matches.

16:30Leeds Visit Brentford

The presenter is on coverage duty for the late afternoon kickoff where Leeds arrive with confidence after good results against top sides. A tactical switch has been the key for their turnaround. Brentford have lost their last two league games. Given Leeds' poor historical record in London, the home side might expect to turnaround their slump. Our correspondent will be at west London.

6pmAmerican Football Watch

Our host hosts our key companion to Sunday’s NFL programme. The New England Patriots can win their first division title this decade by defeating the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots are on an 11-game winning streak. Buffalo has won the past five division crowns, but New England has improved significantly. In another crucial game, the Kansas City Chiefs, with their long playoff streak in jeopardy, host the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs are outside the playoff picture and face elimination if they lose and other results go against them. The Chargers are currently in a playoff position.
