Weekend Kickoff
Eight in the morning BSTMatchday updates
The key portal to the day’s football fixtures starts at 8am. Coverage will preview the quartet of Premier League contests, from the early kick-off of Leeds v Tottenham and the late afternoon game of Chelsea v Liverpool. Squad updates and breaking stories will be provided, along with review from Friday's Bournemouth v Fulham match and the EFL Championship blockbuster Wrexham v Birmingham.

12pmArsenal v Manchester City live
Arsenal are under pressure just a handful of matches into the season, having dropped points in their recent games and disappointing in a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa last Saturday. Renee Slegers’ Arsenal already trail Chelsea by four points. Manchester City, in contrast, have rebounded from their opening round defeat to notch up three straight victories and sit third in the WSL standings, whereas Arsenal are in unexpected fifth. Real-time reporting will be offered.
Two in the afternoonQualifying for the Singapore GP
Real-time coverage will bring you all the action in what is certain to be a exciting qualifying. Back-to-back victories for Max Verstappen have injected a bit of spice to the title race. Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris will be eager for strong outings in Singapore. McLaren’s dominance for most of the season means they are likely to secure a 10th constructors’ title on Sunday, but Verstappen’s resurgence has caused anxiety. Although Piastri still is ahead of Norris by 25 points in what seems a two-driver battle for the driver's championship, any setbacks could allow the Red Bull driver to reduce the 69-pt gap to first place.
3pmLive: Arsenal vs West Ham & Man Utd vs Sunderland
Coverage on compelling fixtures with two managers particularly under pressure. The unrelenting focus on Ruben Amorim’s travails at Manchester United has ramped up to a crucial point, and the meeting with Sunderland has all the makings of a decisive moment before the international break. Amorim’s fiftieth match in charge may be his last, even though United winning their past two home fixtures. Following 49 games, Amorim’s record reads: won 18, drawn 12, lost 19. That 36.7 percent win rate differs greatly with his predecessor's Erik ten Hag’s 70% at the same stage. The Hammers, on the other hand, play for their second game under Nuno Espírito Santo, after Monday’s 1-1 draw at Everton. The Hammers have the curious record of having defeated the Gunners in consecutive games at the Emirates. Another loss at home by their local rivals is doubtful given the Arsenal's form – six wins from their last eight Premier League fixtures.
Half past fiveLive: Chelsea vs Liverpool
Saturday’s evening match sees the clash of teams in a poor run. Maresca's Chelsea have suffered back-to-back Premier League losses, to United and Brighton, while the title holders lost 2-1 to Palace before slipping up in the European competition in Turkey in the week. Arne Slot’s side are winless in their past four Premier League games at their home ground but have not suffered consecutive league matches since last April. Looking for omens? Isak, the Reds' summer signing, has found the net in his past two Premier League games at the Bridge, though both games resulted in defeats for his former team Newcastle. Live blog will be provided.

Quarter to twelvePrix de l’Arc de Triomphe live
Pre-race analysis and washup from one of the horse racing's most prestigious races will be provided. In a field of 17 for the 3:05 PM feature race, the O'Brien-trained the favorite is the 3-1 favorite after being handed a ideal draw in stall one. The trainer, who is aiming for a third win in the race, also runs another contender, third last year, but he will have to defy gate 14 to win. Aventure, who is just behind the favorite in the odds, was handed stall 12. Hopes of a maiden Japanese-trained winner were hurt, with the Derby victor, Croix Du Nord, and the Prix Foy victor, Byzantine Dream, drawn in stalls 17 and 15 each. Their countryman Alohi Alii appears better placed in four. Fabre's duo of Sosie and Cualificar fared better with stalls three and eight each, while Francis-Henri Graffard’s three had reasonable draws.
One in the afternoonSingapore Grand Prix live
Live coverage of the big race under the night lights will be offered. Clearly Verstappen has form – he was second at his home race in the Netherlands before his victories in Italy and Azerbaijan – but likely still needs a major the team's drop in form, as well as wins in the seven remaining races and three sprints, to {clin
